It skyrocketed in 2008 to 10% one year later, people still talked about his quote during that time

Has the definition of "misquote" changed?

I only have 1 job and my wife works part time. We have 4 3ds in the house, 1 wii u a switch tucked away for Christmas and 4 ipad and a few computers. No ps3 though but I probably wouldn't get one even if I had a second job because I am a nintendo fanboy/(fanman really). Am quite old.

Wanting people to work more to get the console so they feel like it's a worthwhile reward has some logic to it, but assuming people can make that extra money, or are willing to, is another thing. Mind you, when PS3 was getting ready to launch, the worldwide economy was booming before the collapse that happended not much later.

There are some jobs where putting in some OT whenever you want is doable, but many do not. What I find most of the time, is it's either all in, or all out, with the availability of some minor OT here and there as a bonus. For most people at that time, some minor OT would mean having to wait years and years before having saved enough for a PS3, and people do not like to wait.

At the time of the PS3, in my group of friends and acquaintances, a few of us were working like mad men, do to our jobs and the companies were worked for, and we had lots of money to buy a PS3, but very very little time to utilize it. The rest of them, weren't working much, do to their jobs and companies, and didn't have the money to buy a PS3 (not for a long time into the gen anyway) in which case, many of them just said screw it and stuck with PS2, or jumped into the 360 ecosystem. The sad thing about this situation, is the people like me, were quite casual when it came to gaming, yet I could jump into next gen no problem, yet my friends that lived for gaming, were stuck in last gen for a long time, watching my PS3 sit around and collect dust. That makes no sense. This is another reason why the PS4 took off like it did, because everyone could get into next gen early on due to the affordability of the console.

What Ken said makes sense if you assume the world is perfect and everything always goes up, when in reality, the world is like the weather and the stock market. Sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down. Not taking that into account is what led to "get a second job". People twisted what Ken said because what he said, whether it was all his idea or a general consensus amoung PS, wasn't based strongly on reality, but a slight fantasy that things were always going to get better and that PS could do what they want and get away with it because they were so great. It didn't work out for them like how it didn't work out for Hillary. When people get to full of themselves, the world has a way of bringing them back down to earth, and most of the time, it's for the good of everyone.

Just to remember we all work more to buy vg, because in the end if you didn't buy as much hw and sw as you do you could work less.

But on quotes I preffer "All your bases belong to us".

Yea, except in this case. It did no good for no one.

As in attributing something that wasn't actually said to a person when they didn't say it? Uh, no? "... we want consumers to think to themselves 'I will work more hours to buy one'", is not "get a second job" which people think is the actual quote he said.

I agree with you. The OP is an example of a misquote. People are responding with actual quotes and saying they still count.

Ah, I got you. It's probably my fault for not clarifying it better. I didn't want it to come off like a defense of what was actually said.
