Jack Tretton, president of Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA), looks to the future with confidence. There is every reason for this, as the Blu-ray victory as well as the one coming on March 28th Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, promised for June 12 Metal Gear Solid 4: The Guns of the Patriots and debuted on April 29th Grand Theft Auto IV both are names that make the PlayStation 3 take precedence over the Xbox 360. Add to that the fact that Rockstar Games will also appear on the Microsoft console, but the other two titles are PS3-exclusive.
