Nice

I wonder why people seem to dislike him

It could be his Smug face or these:

"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 on the PS3 launch, 2007)

“[Nintendo 3DS] is a great babysitting tool" (Jack Tretton, 2011)

"I would like my car to fly and make me breakfast, but that’s an unrealistic expectation." (Jack Tretton’s thoughts on those who expect backwards compatibility in future PS3s, 2007)

"[Wii] is a lollipop, and I'm too old for lollipops." (Jack Tretton, 2007)

”The environment where PlayStation wins is best for this industry” (Jack Tretton, 2009)


Lol @ that last quote

 

Well it seems like he stands firmly behind his company and industry lol

 

I guess it's that overconfidence that he had that put people off

That's how you handle an interview. The man was cool, calm, charming and informative.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Great interview, but only 1 out of 10 jokes ign made was remotely funny.



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

I find it interesting he says that they still have the biggest first party workforce.

I like the guy. He seems genuine. It's refreshing.

It's kind of odd to see an interview with a CEO of a huge company like SCE in between awkward humor. At least he has a sense of humor, or it would've been a complete disaster.

I really like both Greg Miller and Jack Tretton, and that was a great interview, but the whole Daily Show news roundup thing was kind of awful.

Yeah I agree. Was cringing at the start.
