I et eksklusivt interview med engelske Gamesindustry.biz hælder Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios præsident Phil Harrison ny benzin på bålet og får endnu engang krigen til at blusse op mellem Microsoft og Sony. Han siger ganske enkelt at HD-æraen først starter når PlayStation 3 lanceres. Han sagde 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." - konkluderede han.
Men Phil Harrison var ikke færdig der, han sagde 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."
Nu venter vi bare på et udspil fra Microsoft, så kan boksekampen for alvor gå i gang.
