Great stuff.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

1. Zune HD -  Will most likely not garner much marketshare but the device looks fantastic.  OLED touch screen, Tegra powered, nice design, etc.  This device launch will most likely be coupled with an update of the already stellar Zune Software.  I would guess some further integration with XNA through the Zune Software.  Possibly offering the smooth streaming technology through the Zune Software.

That's the only thing i care about that thing looks soooo slick and nice I'm thinking about buying one of these for myself.
