Talking to Gamespot Sony‘s head of hardware marketing, John Koller, claimed “We have seen a very high interest rate from Xbox 360 consumers wanting to purchase a second console. “. He added
“We saw the same kind of thing happen in reverse during the PS2 years when a lot of PS2 consumers said they wanted to get an Xbox because of Halo and some other games. So we think the strategy works and it’s a good one.”.
The Playstation 3 ‘super slim‘ is being launched with Uncharted 3 Game Of The Year edition in the US and Koller believes that using Uncharted their “flagship product” could convince Xbox 360 owners to jump ship.
“We’ve held up Uncharted 3 as our flagship product over the last year and it’s a good opportunity for those types of consumers to come over and own a second console in their household.”
It’s important to note however that in Europe the new hardware is not bundled with Uncharted 3, but rather upcoming EA sports title FIFA 13,
