"...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)

"Hey, Steve, just because you broke into Xerox's house before I did and took the TV doesn't mean I can't go in later and take the stereo." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.

 

""Windows [n.] - A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition.""

TBH, I think that there was a guy at Nintendo who may have done better before Iwatas time.



Tease.

No?



Were you alive when Nintendo launched the N64

Most definitely. Maybe not even just in video games. Worst PR in everything.

Sony PR was the company that thought "Hey, let's sacrifice a goat and throw a pagan orgy to promote God of War" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-451414/Slaughter-Horror-Sonys-depraved-promotion-stunt-decapitated-goat.html

Sony PR was the company that thought "Let's advertise the new white PSP with vaguely racist lesbian dominant/submissive behavior" http://www.joystiq.com/2006/07/04/ad-critic-sonys-racially-charged-psp-ad/

Sony PR was the company that thought "Let's price the PS3 at 600$, then say 'Yeah, it's 600$, but it's probably too cheap' and 'Well, I guess if people really want it they're going to have to work harder' " http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2007/11/vote-the-ken-ku/

^ At least they don't build everything they make to fail and break. You all know what company that is. Especially selling a console that wasn't entirely ready to be on the market.

Jack Tretton is a pretty cool guy, he looks like John Heard. Heard is older now though.



@showertea

That's not bad marketing though. That's bad engineering. If MS had said "Well, our products only fail because our customers are stupid idiots", then it would be bad marketing.
