What does PR mean?

I found more quotes for your amusement. The following are from Ken Kutaragi. Enjoy.

"PlayStation 3 will be capable running games at 120 fps."

- On PS3

"No, it is for computing-but I wanted to change the concept of computers. The name of our company is Sony Computer Entertainment; I wanted to merge computer technology and entertainment. It may be regarded as game applications for the time being, but I wanted to realize the day when "computer entertainment" would mean all such entertainment applications, including games."

- On the Cell

"Though sold as a game console, what will in fact enter the home is a Cell-based computer."

- About the PlayStation 3

"is it not nonsense to compare the charge for dinner at the company cafeteria with dinner at a fine restaurant? It's a question of what you can do with that game machine. If you can have an amazing experience, we believe price is not a problem"

- About the PlayStation 3's price

"You can communicate to a new cybercity. Did you see the movie The Matrix? Same interface. Same concept. Starting from next year, you can jack into The Matrix!"

- About the PS2. From Kutaragi to Newsweek, March 2000

"Beating us for a short moment is like accidentally winning a point from a Karate master, and Microsoft is still not black belt."

- About Microsoft's Xbox Live

"Is just an Xbox 1.5 and stated that it was only going after PlayStation 2."

- About the announcement of Xbox 360

"I believe we made the most beautiful thing in the world. Nobody would criticize a renowned architect's blueprint that the position of a gate is wrong. It's the same as that."

- In response to the original PSP units' square button problems

"PS3 is not a game machine. We've never once called it a game machine. I'm not going to reveal [the PS3s] price today. I'm going to only say that it'll be expensive. I'm aware that with all these technologies, the PS3 can't be offered at a price that's targeted towards households."

- Highlighting Sony's desire to attract consumers interested in high-end, convergent technology with the PS3.

"Brazil? People there lacks money even to buy food."

- E3 2000, when asked about the possibility of PlayStation consoles officially in Brazil.

"It is Microsoft. And I will kill them."

-1994, when asked who he thought the biggest competition would be for his upcoming PlayStation game console.
