Sony:”Ken Kutaragi Was A Genius” PS3 Future “Vibrant”

by Ernice Gilbert on June 10th, 2010, under E3NewsPlaystation 3

Do you remember Ken Kutaragi? Sure you can, he was the face of PlayStation for umpteen years. 

But as you might have heard, the mastermind retired after pressure began to

mount in the early days of PS3 when, seemingly, it was about to fail.

Four years later though, Sony execs around the world can’t stop praising Kataragi,

some even go as far as saying he’s a “genius”. 

“Ken Kutaragi was a genius,” Sony UK boss, Ray Maguire told Edge, “it’s as simple as that.”

“And what we’re seeing now is people starting to integrate the latent power of

PS3 into a way where the processor is big enough to develop and actually to

put that kind of stuff on screen in a way which is easy to view.”

He also told Eurogamer that at the end of this year’s E3, the industry

will have a clearer view of where it’s going, and that the [PS3's] future is “vibrant”.

“I firmly believe that by the end of the show, we will see where

we’re going as an industry,” he told the site. “There is major

innovation, without a doubt, and that innovation has got to come through as good product.”

“The tech platforms are getting better and better, we’ve

got a vibrant future and it’s all about creativity.

E3 is but two days away. By the way, do you think Sony made

the right decision when Ken Kutaragi was asked to resign? Share your thoughts.

It certainly did take a kind of genius to go from profiting $1b year from Playstation products to losing almost that much per year while in the same stroke going from 70% market share to 25% market share in the space of five years. Previous declines happened much slower.

People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

When there are more laws, there are more criminals.

I guess Ray Maguire doesn't speak with the CFO of Sony - what has it cost them so far 6 billion? More?



We need a Japanese Expert to analyze this, where is badgenome?!

I know, right! He totally didn't create arguably the greatest videogame system ever seen. Twice. Three times.

I mean, i bet he totally wishes that he was intelligent enough to try guess sales numbers for a single region once a week, and usually get them wrong!

If they really thought so much about him, maybe they shouldn't have demoted him.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
