| Vienna said: before the Wii launch JL was the only person that said that the Wii will be a big success. everyone said that this prediction is a big failure and that he is stupid. isn't it really IRONIC that this prediction (with the smallest chance ever) IS CORRECT ?

It's about as "ironic" as my friend who went to George Mason University and is a big fan of their basketball program predicting that the George Mason basketball team would make it to the Final Four in the 2006 tournament... and then they did!
George Mason won their bracket even though they were ranked 11th out of 16 teams!!
Obviously my friend is a genius, a visionary. We should trust any and all predictions he makes about future college basketball games.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
