Forums - Nintendo - Ken Kutaragi's dream for the PlayStation and how Wii got there first

 

"No, it [Play Station] 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." - Ken Kutaragi on the PlayStation 3

 

All entertainment applications hey? Hmm sounds like Wii Fit and Wii Vitality to me..

 

Just so I don't confuse more people with my strange interpretation, I've got what I wanted out of this thread..

"My point with the OP was actually to point out the hypocrisy of people - calling Nintendo out for releasing 'non-games' and look! here everyone agrees that they're actually not and it is Sony and Microsoft that are doing it. Just because Nintendo's market expansion initiatives doesn't overlap with the core gamer demographic, those initiatives are labeled 'non-games'."

It is a dark time for me, indeed.

I actually agree with leo-j.



Wat? No it means Games, Blu Ray, Internet, Videos on demand, music, comic books etc.

He means a device than can do everything for entertainment purposes, not just play games, that was his dream.

I'm going to have to agree with the crowd...I don't see the correlation.



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

Sorry, but this fails. His dream was not Wii Fit, thank god. I think he's doing relatively well attaining his dream though.



lol Puffy you're really into the vitality sensor.
