I always felt what Ken Kutaragi said was somewhat misconstrued.
He said, "We want consumers to think to themselves 'I will work more hours to buy one.' We want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else."
Firstly, "I will work more hours" implies that one must already have a job to work more. So he's never said to get a job like he's assuming everybody's jobless or something. He never actually said "Want a PS3? Get a job"
When I heard the launch price of the PS3 I thought to myself that I'd have to work more if I wanted it. And that's pretty much exactly what Kutaragi said so I didn't quite get it when people were changing the words by saying "get a job" or "get two jobs" from.
The reality is what he said implies to us on a regular basis on purchasing expensive products that we really desire. Was what he actually said really that wrong? Or were articles just blowing it out of proportion? Was I missing more information to this?
That aside, I think Kutaragi's words made more sense than Don Mattrick with the 360.
