PS3 News

So that is what top Sony CEO, Mr Jack Tretton has to say regarding the suite of DS devices that are currently being dished out by Nintendo. But that’s not all… As well as Nintendo, Tretton has also been throwing dirt over Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii too and surprise, surprise, the CEO has been bigging up the PS3 as being “extremely relevant today and is conspicuously absent in our competition”.

Sonic’s been around for quite a while now, 20 years in fact and to celebrate that anniversary SEGA has released a teaser trailer via the blue hedgehog’s own Facebook page.
