All time Funniest Jack Tretton Sony Blunder PR quotes

On disasterous PS3 launch:

"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1200 bucks for it."

On Nintendo handhelds:

"Our view of the 'Game Boy experience' is that it's a great babysitting tool, something young kids do on airplanes, but no self-respecting twenty-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with one of those," he says. "He's too old for that."

On Vita Japanese sales

"Quite frankly, it scares me if people think that the Japanese launch is struggling. The fact is they sold 500,000 units in three weeks... I would be pleased if we did 500,000 units in the first three weeks here in the United States. I think that's a real healthy number for a new platform launch."

Looks like you weren't banned after all, what a shame.

I went to look up Dragon's Dogma on google to see the review scores, but before I finished google wanted to put in "Dragon Ball Z", then I remember that I tried some sushi last night at a place that had a menu item called the "Dragon Roll Z", which was sushi with shrimp (quite delicious).

Might be very off topic, but at this point this thread would be better off. Also it really was some damn good sushi.

Jack Tretton seems to have a penchant for making Sony look bad

Wait is that place a franchise? It is awesome! I'm in Peru with my parents for vacation and I went to Wasabi and it was great, all the sushi I wanted for $15!

Its a shame they don't have it where I live.

Yes, and sadly there are like a billion different Japanese restaurants with the name "Wasabi" so I can't find one just like this one, especially not in Florida where I live.

didn't Tretton say that they sold like 40 billion PS3s one E3? Almost nobody caught that mistake that E3

See this is why Wasabi makes for a terrible Japanese restaurant name. A million other places called that, and you referred to the sauce.

And yeah I love that stuff, spicy without the linger.

Jack Tretton is a complete tool. Remember how he said the 2005 Killzone 2 trailer was real gameplay?

I'm joking with him.He was one of the people that kept on bragging about the game.

Not my type of humour, but "whatever floats your boat". I suppose that is how the saying goes. :)

Tretton doesn't has that many crazy quotes, Kutaragi was the king (hence the nickname: Krazy Ken but the guy was a genius).

This is probably why nobody caught his slip up. He said BILLION instead of MILLION. No console in the history of the universe has sold even remotely close to that number

All PR guys say stuff to make themselves sound better than their competitors or to save face. I believe either Iwata or Miyamoto made the statement trying to down play the importance of online network and multiplayer to justify why they lack it compared to the other two.

Tretton owes me $4800.00

Oh man I read that as million.

I can see why nobody caught on to that. I mean its a minor flub.
