Sony VP Ray Maguire claims UMD ‘wasn’t brilliant’ for third parties, forgets we’re living in the present

Posted in: psp, sony, Today's Chili

Apparently the folks at Sony Computer Entertainment UK are experiencing some time anomalies of late, with Senior VP Ray Maguire talking about PSP’s much-abused UMD format in the past tense. It might not be the biggest blunder on earth — he stated that “The UMD model wasn’t brilliant for third parties,” and it certainly hasn’t been — but with rumors all over about Sony dropping the format in the near future, it’s not looking good for those little ill-fated discs. Maguire went on to add, “The downloads side of it will increasingly become a bigger part of its future,” so it looks like either way we know where Sony’s emphasis lies, and we won’t be shedding too many tears if / when it comes to pass.
