"Our retail partners are reporting to us that 2001 will be the best year yet for videogame sales," added Tretton. "For 54 months straight, the PlayStation business has been the sales leader in every category in which it competes. We have maintained that success by providing both the PlayStation enthusiast and new consumers with a wealth of entertainment at affordable prices."
