Ummm… Kinectimals?

Plus, every X1 game was going to be a Kinect game under Microsoft’s original plan.

All four of the console makers did have leadership with foot in mouth disease at the time of their third entries.

Hiroshi Yamauchi basically calling the RPG fans who jumped ship to PS1 hikkikomori.

Bernie Stolar refusing to localize Saturn games and capping it all off with “the Saturn is not our future.”

Ken Kutaragi claiming that people would work extra hours for “599 US dollars.”

The multiple meme-worthy statements from Adam Orth and Don Mattrick. 

 Those guys were terrible bussines people that for sure lol 

Yamauchi was actually one of the sharpest businessmen in Japan. He turned his family’s playing card company into a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Kutaragi fought against considerable resistance to convince Sony that the PS1 was a good investment and was proven right. Hubris in these men over past glories was the common thread with the N64 and PS3 that allowed the PS1 and 360 to make inroads.
