I think a NeoGaf user may have said it best about Cerny's perceived arrogance: "Cerny almost comes off as arrogant at first, but it's clear he has a fairly high IQ and backs up his calm, yet ambitious, personality."

Regardless, you're missing the point, choosing to focus on how you think he looks creepy or talks about himself at a conference where he was asked to come and speak about...himself.  What you're missing is the genius a lot of other people in the industry see, and what a treat it is to get a rare look into the evolution of console design along with video games in general and the building of a brand at PlayStation.

To make matters worse I now have Killzone: Mercenary sat on my vita home screen crying to be played *sigh*
