SCEA: Believes Heavy rain will sell 'incredibly well'

Admits it would be a rare occurrence for such a title.

Sony Computer Entertainment of America CEO Jack Tretton has revealed he believes Heavy Rain will sell "incredibly well", despite history suggesting such a game will struggle to gain a strong audience.

"I spent 25 years in this industry, and it's rare you see a game that sells incredibly well and that impresses you," Tretton told Fast Company. "But when you go, 'Wow! That's the type of game I've never seen before!' And I think Heavy Rain falls into that category. I don't even now how to classify it or describe it. I read a review that said it's the next stage of reading the book. You don't have to be a gamer at all. I think if you read a book, unless you read the chapters in reverse order, the story is pretty much going to be the same. But with Heavy Rain, depending on what you do, you are going to get a different outcome every time."

We certainly hope Heavy Rain is rewarded with commercial success. See why by checking out our spoiler-free review.
