SCE (SONY) Execs Greatest And Most Embarrasing Quotes.

"Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"
- Thomas Hesse, Sony BMG's president of global digital business, responding to the outcry over Sony's DRM Rootkit spyware uncovered on its music CDsRandom Sony Dude

"You can look at the software that they sell. All their licensed kid stuff. So, what we're doing with the PlayStation Portable is really establishing a new marketplace, and establishing, frankly, a new beachhead."
- Peter Dille, Sony US Senior Vice President of Marketing, on comparing PSP to DSRandom Sony Dude

But all that licensed "kid stuff" is owning the PSP. :shock:

"The idea of a handheld rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance. Those formats don't appear in our planning. It's not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress. That sounds arrogant, maybe, but it's the truth. With the DS , it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen. But I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that."
- Phil Harrison, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, on comparing PSP to DS in an interview with MCVRandom Sony Dude

All I can say.......is wow. :shock:

"Its probably to cheap...."

Your right Ken. It needs no be $800, then all consumers would buy it. :shock:

- Phil Harrison, president of Sony Computer Entertainment's Worldwide StudiosRandom Sony Dude

My god these guys are amazing.... :shock:

"Consider the US with its massive land and cheap people. Then you look at the UK - a little island where rent and rates are at an absolute premium, and the cost of people is a lot more."
- Sony's take on the consumers, as told by UK Managing Director Ray Maguire to website gamesindustry.bizRandom Sony Dude

But....its not selling in Europe either. :shock:

"Nobody will ever use 100% of PS3's capability"
- Phil Harrison, president of Sony Computer Entertainment's Worldwide Studios speaking with MTV news.Random Sony Dude

People have to buy it first Phil...... They have to buy it.

"A bit pricey."
- Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment Australia, speaking about Nintendo Wii in an interview with the age.com.auRandom Sony Dude

Lol WTF?! If the Wii is "a bit pricey" then what the hell is the PS3? :shock:

"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."
- Jack Tretton, Sony Computer Entertainment America president and CEORandom Sony Dude

They say some pretty stupid stuff there. 1:00-1:16 made me lol.

"The PS3 will instill discipline in our children and adults alike. Everyone will know discipline." KenKCarcasicFIREman

And the discipline that will instill is "Dont be a impulse buying consumer". :lol:

I like the one with crazy ken saying its too cheap.How the hell do these execs say all this crap and NOT get fired

And why is a NON gaming machine called a PLAYstation 3,cuz when i hear the word play, i think og games, not a supercomputer which cures cancer and helps fight terrorists

And the last qoute amazing, i remember a guy from game videos called a eb the next day and they told him, that they had 20 ps3s in stock

Meh, you gotta love sony, at least they try

The one where people will work more hours, work harder, and the like at their jobs in order to afford a PS3. Coupled with the one about how the PS3 is too cheap.

Makes me laff.

My favorite was "The next generation doesn't start until we say it does."

Best Thread Ever!!!

I'll continue the quotes:

"The first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even it didn't have games" says Sony's Euro CEO David Reeves.

"Next Gen doesn't start until we say so." - Ken Kutaragi, Chairman Sony Computer Entertainment.

"So here's a giant crab!"Riiiiidge Raaacer!!!" Kaz, SCE

So ? MS said Xbox has Toy Story graphics and they will reach 1 billion customers worldwide.

Pretty much 50% of what you said was fair criticism, but the rest just cancelled it out by you acting like a fanboy.

Nintendo has always been arrogant for a start, and a comparison of handhelds isn't fair, or smart on anybodies part.

When they say cheap, they mean value for money, so no, you might not like what you are seeing from sony but that doesnt matter, it is still probably quite cheap for hardware like that. As for the Wii being too expensive, well it is, I mean I wonder how big the margins actually are compared to the cost of making a Wii, and even then, R&D can't have spent many resources on power.

It started out as a possibly valid arguement against sony, and ended up looking like you were trying to find things to complain about.

"One of the basic premises of the Xbox is to put the power in the hands of the artist," Blackley said, which is why Xbox developers "are achieving a level of visual detail you really get in 'Toy Story.'"

You can't hide the truth. Real time weapon change is one hell of a revolutionary step in gaming:roll:.

kage_53

And.. what else. That's pretty tame compared to some of the outlandish things Sony has said within the last 2 yrs. The billion customer worldwide is talking about how many people would try the system, not buy it. With M$ XBox tour and all the XBox kiosk in thousands of retailer they believe a billion people will try the system in it's lifetime.

No, XBoxdidn't have Toy Story graphics. Neither does the PS3 or XBox 360. At least not yet.

I was saying exactly what you just ignored, why did you reply if you cant think of something to say? Its quite obvious that you think ignorance is bliss. And what are you so shocked about? The more you use emoticons, the less effective they are at actually showing emotion.

I know this is a topic directed at sony. But if you know any about Microsoft or Nintendo then post them. It's all for the laughs. We should all make fun of them and treat them like our own personal ... Ok I'll stop there.

I use emotcons for everything I type. Isnt the purpose of an emotcon to convey an expression or "EMOTION"? Especially when Im shocked at your response... :shock:

So either you have had some surgery in your face, or you are constantly shocked? I doubt both, which is why I know it doesn't hold any meaning after this many posts. Like this:| Thats the emotion you can imagine I have while engaging in this conversation, and you can imagine it stays like that, but being shocked kind of wares off, I mean is it that hard to believe people disagree with you that you get shocked, because thats arrogance. All this is about is: I disagreed with some/most of what you said and then you pretended to ignore what I said and failed to do so as you reply to it with some kind of a comeback (Note: you were shocked at your own reply I believe at the time), not that I was trying to have a petty school argument mind.

Yes sony has said some silly things, but its a little lame seeing people laughing at the same old E3 puns for a whole year. And still being shocked at them after all this time is just silly.

My god man. You sound as if your an "employee" of Sony and I just ridiculed your boss or YOU for that fact. Are you Jack Tretton, Krazy Ken or any of those other guys? Im :shock: that you would come off this way.

Im :shock: that you would take time out of your precious life to respond to this post, well that is if it didnt matter to you. :roll:

And Im :shock: that you still have failed to realize that I will always use "teh emotes 4 j0o!!"

Preach to somebody who cares.... :shock:

I can't wait for this year E3 and hear what kind of BS they come up with!
