Sony doesn' t care if they get outsold... - Sep 30, 2006 05:26
...according to Ken Kutaragi...


When asked by MCV whether the rival consoles will outstrip Sony’s next-gen machine, he replied simply: “We do not care.”

Why does this man still have a job?

Riiiiight. You have a product that is in direct competition with two competing items in the marketplace, and you don' t care if they sell more?! So, if they had released a year earlier (like they did with the PS2 over Xbox) and had soundly trounced their numbers by now (like with the PS2) they wouldn' t be calling everybody' s attention to that fact? (like with... eh you get the idea)

Sony, as a whole, is in trouble. They better get those blue diodes manufactured, have a AAA launch lineup, and have more that five hunded thousand units available for launch, otherwise they' re done.

Next comment from Ken Kutaragi: " We don' t even care if 3rd party developers support our product."

Maybe " We don' t need FF or MGS to sell our console, we already have new
and interesting IP like FFXIII VERSUS"

Or..

" Who says we' re stuck in the past? PS3 is NOW a supercomputer, I was
mis-quoted on PS2, but don' t take my word for it."

When they are able to supply the demand with their own product on the market, I' m sure they will start concentrating about gaining marketshare from their competitors.

That' s Sony allright!

When the PS2 was graphically inferior to the Xbox they kept saying it was the games that was important.
When they announced the PS3 hardware and stuff they kept focusing on the raw power of the machine and how that would make things better.
When some people started questioning if the PS3 really was that powerful they started focusing on games again.
Now when the 360 has shown strenght on all fronts they choose to call the PS3 a PC.
And when it seems both the Wii and the 360 will outsell the PS3 they say they don' t care.
I don' t know if they' re denying it themselves or if they just want to avoid showing any sign of weakness but it sure is weird.

No,sony are probably talking this way,since they fear Wii especially in Japan,with DS and wii Nintendo is becoming a the super-power in Japan again.

I don' t think wii will come 2nd or third,but i think they might take the lead,and especially a big lead over ps3 in the first year.

Eewwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Poor japanese ladies.
One of Japan' s former polititians actually wrote in a book that " the japanese people is the ugliest people in the world" .
He got hated for that and were banned from politics.

probably because he was right

Even if the statement that Japanese people are the ugliest on earth were true (which is ridiculous), then the fact that this girl is Japanese balances everything out!!





That' s my wife, btw, so stop looking!!

have a AAA launch lineup,


PS3 will have Oblivion, Resistance, MGS4 (right?...too tired), Call of Duty 3, Rainbow 6: Vegas, Madden, and a couple more 3rd party titles. Yeah sure, most of the good games are 3rd party, but if the guys dead set on buying a PS3 I doubt they care too much if its on the 360 too (cause none of my friend do)


For the 360, it was pretty much only PGR, COD2, and Geometry Wars that were worth picking up.

Well I guess Sony made that statement because of all the millions they have lost from getting sued, and not enough to massproduce enough PS3,but atleast it' ll be a hit like the PSone and PS2 more games mean more consumer money spent on Sony products, so thats why the said ' ' We don' t care' ' . When it comes to Microsoft forget about that they own billions so they don' t need to worry.

and about the statement on the former polititians remarks on Japanese people/girls saying that they are ugly, I' ll be damn in my opinion Japan has the most cutest kawaii Japanese girls in the world, I really love those Idols/cosplay /gal/racing queen and the Jpop honeys, I put an oath to myself that I will one day get me a Japanese girl. About that former polititian, it' s great that he got band from it, now he can find a job, I got it work for Sony and be a partner with Krazy Ken.

The coolest cosplay girls in Japan really are cute. But that' s only a few girls living in the hip part of Tokyo. They are like 0.001 % of the population. Most japanese ARE ugly!
You should visit Sweden. We have lots of beautiful women. Of course, we guys look great too so you don' t have a chance but... you can always look

...is spot on and kept in context.

Saying that it' ll be as successful as either of their first two consoles is naive as the factors this time around are drastically different and markets are changing. Sony are terrified of Microsoft in western territories, and terrified of Nintendo on their home turf. They just won' t admit it.

Alright I can relate to that, but I was just adding the sums console they sold in the past, and of course things will always change meanning that the PS3 will not likely turn out to be like it' s past product, and they seem to have lots of weaknesses you can spot some like of coures they are aware of how many units will be sold and most of their trusted 3rd party developer are already going mutiplatform. You made a good point there, and my reply torward you was a nice way not a bad way, so don' t missunderstood me.

The old Majik would' ve caused an eternal battle filled with insults and stuff. It' s cool to see how some people actually manage to become better persons. It' s very rare.
Ok, maybe Majik wasn' t completely nice this time

" White girls eat a fucking burger and gain 20 pounds."

Actually its backwards, white people have had high fat diets for longer then asians or other ethnic groups so white people have began to adapt somewhat. Asians are much thinner because they have better diets, even when they come to North America often they still eat asian cuisine. Look at black women, their asses explode because their not genetically pre disposed to the junk we eat. Asians as a whole can have serious heart problems at younger ages when they eat American food.

I have asian genes and I can eat as much fat food and candy as I want without gaining any weight at all
I ate very bad food when I was young but was still very slim while my swedish comrades with similar food habits got fat. A Nelson-Haha @ them
But now I' m more aware of my health and I' m almost too healthy when it comes to what I eat and drink.

I' m not too familiar with Swedish diet but I' m possitive its much better then American food, as pretty much every country has a better diet then America. Also you' re still young, but in the future you might want to keep this in mind. And even if you don' t get fat that doesn' t mean you don' t have high artery clogging colesterol.
