Someone from Sony said something very similar to that but regarding Gameboy/GBA. It was a bit before the PSP launched, so probably 2004. I think the location was a bar and how no adult is going to be comfortable pulling out a Gameboy/GBA with all their friends around. I think he then went on to list a bunch of random things such as GPS and how if that interests you, the PSP is your handheld.

Could have been Phil Harrison, but I can't remember. Very important though and worth bringing up.

He creates better excuses than most of us could ever dream of, and can attack a whole continent and competitor at the same time to booth. This guy was a champ.

Can't even afford to gamble anymore so they need to accept only playing in game.

where is the but(t)?

N64 lost to the PS1? Guess you must mean sales. N64 was on the market for 6 years, PS1 was sold for 12 years.
N64 had the better games overall PS1 had more games but not better.
I own and still do both machines and i enjoyed both systems alot but the N64 was miles ahead when it came to quality.

Yes, people bought 5x more PS1 than N64 because N64 was the best system and they thought it had the better games.

Gamers really are masochists.

People also buy more Volkswagons than Bentleys.. not because there better cars..

What was your point again?

PS1 was sold on the market for twice aslong so dont forget that part.

In the same time space it wouldnt be 5 times the sales. And just look up the best criticality acclaimed games, majority are on the N64 which stands my point.

That isn't exactly true. The N64 has 17 games with a metacritic score of 90 or higher, while the PS1 has 28. You can make the argument that the best N64 games were better than the best PS1 games, although I would personally disagree with that, but you can't say that the N64 had more critically acclaimed games compared to the PS1. Also, as far as being on the market for longer, the PS1 was outselling the N64 by early late 1997, and passed it by in sales soon after, so it wouldn't have really mattered if the N64 had remained on the market for longer. It simply wasn't selling as much as the PS1 at any point after its first year on the market.

I imagine what he considered 'depressing' differs greatly from what most consumers consider depressing. That, or he has no idea what he's talking about, I can't imagine him not having any idea, so it's probably his idea of depressing that differs.

He was so cut throat, delusional at times as well.
