I et eksklusivt intervju med engelske Gamesindustry.biz kaster Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios president Phil Harrison ny bensin på bålet og får enda en gang krigen til å blusse opp mellom Microsoft og Sony. Han sier ganske enkelt at HD-æraen først starter når PlayStation 3 lanseres. Han sa bl.a.
"The true definition of HD is the three elements of the HD value chain - the display, the content and the hardware to play back that content, and PlayStation and Sony is the only organisation that has all three bits of the value chain together."
Og han fortsatte:
"As you well know, the Xbox 360 doesn't play high definition movies and doesn't have true HD functionality - PlayStation 3 is the only format that has 1080-progressive, which is the true definition of HD, so it's really premature to be talking about the HD era. The HD era really only starts when we are on the market." - konkluderte han.
Men Phil Harrison var ikke ferdig der, han sa også:
"High definition as far as the consumer is concerned means high definition movies, which means Blu-Ray disc, and that is the reason that people will buy high definition displays coupled with a player that is capable of playing movies and games - which is obviously PlayStation 3."
Nå venter vi bare på et utspill fra Microsoft, så kan boksekampen på nytt starte igjen.
