Stringer: PS3 "Already Tested", "Creative Success"

"The point really is that PlayStation 3 is already finished and has been tested in America and has been deemed a creative success. In the end that is what counts."

That's what he told GamesIndustry.biz, reacting to all the recent kerfuffle over Sony's disappointing financial results.

Are you sure it was a test, Howard? Are you sure it wasn't nothing?

I'd stop far short of deeming PlayStation 3 a "creative success" at this point; I think there are plenty of holes one could easily poke in that argument. That isn't to say I find PS3 creatively bankrupt or anything -- only that the talk about Blu-Ray and how it'll change the way you play games is just theory, at this point.
