for shame phil! coming from you...you should have said 'crisp'.
Here are some of the best Ken quotes from the period up till the PS3 launch..
Hiroshi Yamauchi had some "hardcore quotes".
Sony also had some stupid quotes in regards to the DS and the PSP..
Phil Harrison said:
And good old Peter Dille said this..

and soon after Sony sold a Purple Hannah Montana PSP. lol
You are absolutely correct! I just posted the gist of it, which was to say something that would distract people from the high failure rates.
You're correct. Sorry, it's 4am and I can't sleep or think for the life of me. Will change.
After long a thoughtful deliberations, me and my manager have decided that we can forgive you. Also you have some solid quotes!
Joe Staten with the classic, "you see that mountain?".
This one is a myth. No-one at Sony ever said anything about having two jobs. The actual quote was this:
Still not a good look to imply that people should work overtime to buy your console, but there's no mention of two jobs in that quote at all.
I'm going to need some context for this one; Google isn't really helping me here.
I didn't know that, I guess that just speaks to how negatively people reacted lol
Shinji Mikami saying he'd commit harakiri if RE4 came out on another platform, and then apologizing for it going multiplatform.
He even said that Sony makes their consoles easy to break to increase their install base, and that PS2 is selling well because many people are buying replacements.
He was also bitter about Kingdom Hearts selling more than REmake, and claimed it's due to "aura purchase"; people buying the game just because of their friends were playing it, not because they'd like it. He said KH doesn't deserve its sales, and isn't worth the price tag. He made an apology to Square for it later on, but said REmake is still a much better game.

I mean...he's not wrong!? (about the internet I don't know anything about specific places in the US though).
EDIT: Found a larger version of the capture.
I can't imagine trying to use any modern console without a half decent internet connection. Games get "Day 1" patches and updates all the time, I'm not convinced the disc versions of games actually work in any meaningful way.
This happened early enough in the generation that the mere words "always online" immediately led to foaming at the mouth and gnashing of teeth, even though it was already a reality.
You can still play non-patched games, and single player games don't require online connection. The point wasn't obviously about patching, but required 24-hour online checks for ALL games. I remember military personnel being pissed about it, for example.
Retail games not working at all without a patch is far from the truth. Sure, patches improve the experience, like shortened loading times in Bloodborne, but the game was perfectly playable in its initial state.
EDIT:
24-hour online checks still aren't reality, because people pushed back against a strategy that wouldn't benefit consumers.
And then the 3DS won by a large margin while Vita died after a while
Quality reference. God damn I love that movie.I would imagine something like this happens whenever lootboxes are discussed within the ESRB.
The Digital Foundry review video of Sony's 2006 E3 is an absolute gold mine of quotes, fact checks and corrections.
In response to a question about Playstations E3 conference

A bit controversial but "The game is fun. If it's not fun, why bother?" -Reggie
Imo pushes the medium down. It's a toxic mentality that practically makes people narrow down their views on games and ignore a lot of games that try to do different stuff and provide different experiences, and are not necessarily fun.

i remember how mad people were about this at the time but in hindsight it's very funny

People dunk the first sentence but once you read the full statement I can almost understand the point he was trying to make.
For example, NetherRealm is now consistently transplanting Mortal Kombat's "functions and playstyles" into the cast of Injustice and then does the reverse once the latest MK game is released afterwards. Probably not out of laziness but because people would get disappointed if they couldn't play a character with Scorpion's teleport attack or Sub Zero's freezing ice balls.
He just said it in such a crass and insensitive way. Everyone knows why X-Men characters can't be in MvC anyone you don't need to handwave people's disappointment like this.
I read he said that he'd cut his own head i.e fired himself if any of the original GameCube exclusive Capcom 5 came out in other consoles.
Hence one of the chihuahuas in God Hand's dog race minigame is called "Mikami's head."
Erm....i hope this can be pragmatically realized in the ps5...a man can dream.
"Yes we did, but as time showed us one good game is not enough to save one of the most self harming strategies ever seen in this industry. "
Self harming? Can someone elaborate what this is referring to?

His heart were in the right place. Next generation will be it.
I don't understand what's supposed to be so terrible about this quote, or that gif of the dude spinning around with his copy of Skyrim. It's just people enthusiastic about videogames. Do people object because they're the wrong videogames?
Why are they contemptible, but the Easy Allies dudes crying and hugging over the announcement of Shenmue 3 is wonderful and inspiring?
