nintendo are tying to do it with reggie, but that guy is too big of an ass for people to like him.

The thing with Reggie is that he is SO bad at hiding it that it kinda makes him likable imo

i dislike him because he is pretty arrogant. but i agree, sometimes he is just really bad that you just gotta laugh at him and like what he is doing lol.

as far as shu goes though, this article should be about mark cerny not shu, while i am one to say that i liked sony's sony's first and second party's efforts so far (they were ok, not great) they really didnt have as much of an effect on the success of the PS4 as the design of the PS4 and the vision its self had.

Im not a fan. I get the feeling that Sony saw how people loved Iwata and said "We could use a guy like that"

Yeah they copied Nintendo by putting a likable guy in charge of gaming. It couldn't possibly be because he was good at his job.

Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

^ same, when I first saw the title, I was sure that was what it would be about.

btw this is worth a watch:

Mark Cerny "The Road to PS4" - 'No Hum, No Pajama' Edition @ gamelabs 2013

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJW5OKbh0WA

He comes off really well during speeches.
