At today’s MI6 conference, Sony’s SVP of Marketing and PlayStation Network, Peter Dille of SCEA made some pretty interesting statements.
In a discussion on “Refining the Digital Living Room” Dille made it clear that the vision of the company is to make the PS3 and the PSP brand the center of entertainment in a unified manner. Not a new message, but his arguments were clear: compared to ten years ago, the way people consume entertainment today is through a simpler and powerful tools, like the iPod and ‘net-connected TVs.
According to Dille, Sony has had more success with the PlayStation brand in the last year, citing a unified SCEA Metacritic score of 91.3 rating percent, the introduction of PlayStation Move, the introduction of 3D and 3D Bravia sets this summer, and the transition to bringing PSN to more devices. When questioned about PSN on Sony VAIO computers, Walkmen, and Sony Ericsson phones, Dille was clear that those talks are happening, with Kaz Hirai leading that charge.
