It's called exaggeration :P

And I didn't say abused more I said out of context, it's like cutting a sentence in half and saying one part and it maks no sense at all.  

I love the brackets there. There's so little of the quote it's impossible to tell whether he really was talking about the PS3.

I loved the "things break" one from Microsoft. I guess that sums up their attitude to their software aswell. 

Honestly, think of how many endings that sentence could have.

"It's probably too cheap for us to make a profit."

"It's probably too cheap for a Blu-Ray player, as BR players are current 1000 dollars or more."

"It's probably too cheap for Bill Gates to buy. I hear he only buys ten million dollar computers."

It's four words that are only a portion of a sentence. How easy would it be to make anyone in the world look dumb if you took any four words they've spoken out of context?

 Yeah, and that one really wasn't taken out of context. He really meant it. Amazing! 

The 4D speech by Kutaragi isnt there which is shocking, that has been the biggest misunderstanding there has been from his speeches.

“The idea of a handheld rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance. Those formats don't appear in our planning. It's not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress. That sounds arrogant, maybe, but it's the truth. With the DS , it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen. But I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that."


My personal favourite. It should be carved on his gravestone.

Yeah that's a good one.  Especially the points I bolded.  It always entertains me.  It took Sony a while but they seem to have figured out at this point that if they just shut the hell up and make games their sales will be much better.

I know exactly what you mean.

How about we fill in the blanks?

The idea of a ________ rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance. Those formats don't appear in our planning. It's not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress. That sounds arrogant, maybe, but it's the truth. With the ___ , it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the ___ ____. But I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that.

Also you have to remember the part that is "lost in translation" Like when Miamyoto(sp?) said he could have made Halo if he wanted to(that could be on the N list) I think what he meant is that if he wanted to design those types of games he would, not the more literal translation.

 Yep, that's true as well.
