Let's do one from each of the big three.

"Y'know, things break."

-Peter Moore on the Xbox 360's failure rate

"Our view of the 'Game Boy experience' is that it's a great babysitting tool."

-Jack Tretton on the DS

"Only geeks and otakus want more Wii storage"

-NoE Laurent Fischer on the issue of storing games on Wii's internal memory

I'm sure many babysitters have used Gameboy/DS while doing so.  I would.  Did he specifically say it wouldn't be good for anything or anyone else?

Here's the entire quote:

"Our view of the ‘Game Boy experience’ is that it’s a great babysitting tool, something young kids do on airplanes, but no self-respecting twenty-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with one of those. He’s too old for that."

Oh so he didn't say anything about DS lol.  Besides those guys probably have phones.  Even though I'm 20 and plan on getting 3DS if Gen 1 is confirmed for Pokemon X/Y

"...based on real history. -- aaaand here comes the giant enemy crab!"


This is my favourite quote in gaming media



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.
