The future is positive, says David Reeves, despite Nintendo's current market lead
David Reeves, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE), has made it known that his company believe the PlayStation 3 will sell more than its predecessor.
The PS3, which at the moment doesn't look like getting close to achieving the sales necessary to beat the PS2, will pick up pace soon, says Mr Reeves.
"The PS3 install base is growing faster that the PS2's was at this point in its lifecycle," he said. "The next five years are going to be turbulent.
"[But] I think it is going to be the most exciting period that we have ever seen in the past ten years of video games."
Despite the Wii's relative dominance in the market at the moment, Reeves believes the future will be kinder to Sony.
"We welcome all competition. Whatever happens, we are all going to do well. We should celebrate the growth of the industry."
