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

I predict a 150$ price cut from microsft right before christmas



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Do you mean the Arcade or the Elite. And if you mean the Arcade, you make so much sense, especially after how they raised the price =D!

And the Elite will probably get that $100 pricecut anyway.

Signs of desperation:

1. Raising the price.

I just call it a case of "Duck season, Wabbit season." Obviously Microsoft thinks that if they once again take the initiative in changing the price, Sony will take the bait and change their price as well. As a 360 loyalist, I can only hope Sony will yell "Duck Season. FIRE!".

2. Predicting the PS3 cut.

Lord only knows how this happened. I mean, today we had posters posting "Megaton!1!!" and "Take that doubters!". How could they have been so right while we were so wrong? I must look into this.

3. The design of the Xbox 360.

Microsoft was also under a rock while in that cave.

4. Not announcing games too far into the future.

Well, when they said "10 years plus one day.", I still hold on to the fact that they were talking about the PS2's life span, not the PS3 (duh!). Sony fans really need to be more clear when they talk about 10 year plans, or else I might make an assumption.

5. They just know they haven't got the performance.

Sega does what Nintendon't, so it only makes sense.

 

Your wisdom. If only I had something like that...



Tease.
