Sony Europe Boss: "You Will Buy PS3, Regardless of Games"

Why is this man smiling? Because Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO David Reeves is certain that you're gonna buy a PlayStation 3, you sucker. According to David, "We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even it didn't have games."

He's dead serious! Sorry, David, but as a hardcore console purchaser, even I am going to have a hard time justifying my purchase with no games. Fortunately, that won't be an issue, as some 15 titles are still expected for launch day.

That's the good news. The bad news is that PS3 titles like Heavenly Sword, Formula One, and Motorstorm may not hit retail shelves until March of 2007. Bummer. At least we can take comfort in the fact that they haven't announced Fantavision 2! From Reeves rather cryptic timeframe provided for EyeToy games, it doesn't look like we can expect the E3 demoed Eye of Judgment at launch either, but this may still be up in the air.

The full article with the SCEE CEO will be up soon, so look forward to more choice quotes from Sony execs real soon. —Michael McWhertor
