Sony president undaunted by 'mixed' PS4 reviews
"Yeah, it's disappointing to see some of the low scores," Yoshida admitted in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz. "I haven't spent enough time reading reviews, but I would characterize them as mixed," he added optimistically.
In an attempt to partially explain away the lower-than-expected review scores, Yoshida cites an overworked games media. "[W]ith this launch there are lots of games coming out, so the media must be very busy going through the games quickly, and especially since the online functionality wasn't ready until in the last couple days. So we have to look at how much time they spend on what aspect of the games and how that may be contributing to some of the lower scores."
"It's disappointing but I don't think it's worrisome for the launch of the system," he added.
Finally, Yoshida offers a personal defense of his company's offerings. "I've played through all of our games, Killzone, Knack and Resogun, and I totally enjoyed playing through these games. I'm now on my second run of Knack and Resogun at a higher difficulty - these games really grow on you when you play more," Yoshida said.
"I'm very confident that once you purchase these games and play, you'll be happy that you've done so."

FibreOp I don't care what the reviews are. Still getting this console no matter what.
At least you're loyal to the console you really want.

Dreams in the end it doesnt matter what reviews say its all a matter of preference
Exactly.
People will choose which console they want and the president of each company is going to defend their product.

I can understand why, lol.
Nothing but biased fanboys.

Any president of any company shouldn't get discouraged because some people don't like their product.

Caszech I don't think the launch will affect it to much, they'll just go ahead and correct things. :)
It really depends on how fast they do this. Hopefully it will not take them too long at all

Lol the xbox 360 launch was a failure yet it came on top. The PS4 might not come on top in the future but the console will be legendary. I just dont understand why people hate on Sony soo much. Like if it wasn't for the PS1 then the xbox wouldn't even exist. I am not getting the PS4 but damn some of you guys are little 14 yrs old who argue over nothing. No console is better than the other.

LaserShow Yet the 3DS launch was probably the worst console launch ever and look at how amazing that console is now.
Very true. The 3DS really fixed itself up from it's far below average launch

Amen to that, these forums are worse than snowmobile forums with arctic cat and ski-doo fans. I never thought that would ever happen but it has, then again the average age on here is probably around 12 or 13.
