Ted price is talks about how the criticism for the Ps3 is unfair. And that the ps3 has become the 'whipping boy' for press. But it is only natural to take a hit on the top dog.

"I think the PS3 has become the whipping boy for the press, quite honestly. I think everyone just wants to fill it full of arrows because Sony's had some pretty amazing success over the years. And it's easy to overlook that it's been, I think, the fastest selling PlayStation console. I think it's human nature to want to take down the guy on top, and Sony has definitely gotten its share of... mud [laughs] ... but it's unfortunate," he said.

"I wish people hadn't been so ready to criticize Sony, because we're certainly affected by that as well, since Resistance was synonymous with the PS3," he continued. "Obviously, Sony has come out and said that there are things they could have done better, but I could say that about any of our games too. The fact is that PS3's out there, it's sold well, and we're looking at an upcoming Christmas that should provide a lot of unique content to players, which is pretty exciting... and top among them Ratchet, of course."

And speaking of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, videos and screenshots have already revealed what looks to be a very impressive title. Price confirmed that this latest Ratchet was probably Insomniac's biggest project yet. He said the team is now putting the finishing touches on the title, which he called "the largest and most complex game we've ever made." The company has learned a lot about the PS3 thanks to Resistance and the team is putting that knowledge to good use.

    No, deary, bad press is bad for Sony. Sure it earns them publicity, but in the end nobody wants to buy a console that's getting appauling coverage do they.

    Yeah buts being banned for being so violant. And for some odd reason people like violant video games. So if you have a video game that is so violant that it gets banned people want it. This is different.

    I wish the article would give examples as to what the press is saying that Mr. Price is concerned about. The majority of the negative press I have seen in regards to PS3 has been its high price tag, or its poor sales in comparison to Wii and 360, neither of which seems to be "filling it full of arrows."

      Exactly my point. This is good news since when i get my article accepted you will see what i mean.

      Its all misleading. Its as believeable as MS saying we quite you win.
      Meaning its all BS. There are good games coming out soon like in a few days.

    Sony always has the worst Fanboys in my opinion. Their never open to anything new, such as the Wii, then they wonder why they get critisized for it ... and I certain wouldn't say that the PS3 is at the top of the console rankings at the moment.

    However, it certainly doesn't seem to have as many problems as the 360's been having !

      Im not a fanboy, but if i can redirect you to a link to someone who posted something with some substantial points that should answer question regarding the term NEW as you put it, or even innovative.
