God there's so many.
MS PR (2013-2014):
"Sorry, I don't get the drama around having an "always on" console. Every device is "always on" That's the world we live in #dealwithit".
"We have a box for people who can't get connectivity, it's called the Xbox 360".
"There is no way we're giving a 30% advantage to Sony".
"We're in it for the long haul. Kinect is absolutely integral to Xbox One".
"I mean we're really not going to change anything we've done with Xbox One". (4 days before the 180).
"We're confident that gamers are going to love our vision of the future".
Sony PR: (2006-2007)
"We don't care about them" ( the competition)
"The PS3 is a computer, we do not need a PC."
"Nobody will ever use 100% of PS3's capability"
"It's probably too cheap"
"If you can find a PS3 in NA that's been on shelves for more than 5 mins I'll give you 1200 bucks for it"
"For consumers to think to themselves, I will work more hours to buy one. We want people to want it, irrespective of anything else." (misquoted to hell)
"A bit pricey" (talking about the Wii)
"Riiiiiiiiiiidge Racer!"
I think Sony takes the cake for more amusing lines. A huge amount of them can be attributed to Phil Harrison. Looking back, he was talking utter nonsense for a good 3 years. MS would do well to keep him away from interviews.
Also, rather interestingly:.
"I wish they [Microsoft] would come up with some strategies of their own, but they seem to be going down the path of everything we do" - Kaz Hirai (2006)
Oddly prophetic considering MS's recent troubles.
