Gates: Sony Can Make Bricks and People Would Buy Them

[thexfactor]

Speaking to C|Net’s News.com, Bill Gates talked about new and forthcoming Microsoft products including the Zune, Office 2007 and the upcoming Windows Vista. Inevitably, the interviewer asked Gates about the Xbox 360 and the recently launched PlayStation 3. Gates said:

"I wouldn't change positions with them in a million years. I mean, we know what it's like to be a year late. We feel great about the position that we're in. And, of course, they're going to sell a lot in Japan.

You know, Sony can make 80,000 bricks, and people would buy them. So the real competition--you're going to see the impact of our innovation and all the momentum we have in Christmas 2007. This Christmas, the story is: Xbox 360 is going to sell super-well, and they'll sell the rounding error amounts they can make.

We are sorry to inform you Mr. Gates, but it is actually your company the one that includes a huge brick with every Xbox 360 so please avoid that analogy next time.
