my god

Ken Kutaragi is an idiot everyone else is ok but my god that man doesnt half talk some crap, im sure he even believes himself you no.

i kno

But Kaz recently replaced him and Ken got promoted so now we dont hafta hear from him ever again.

Learn your history

The man is practically responsible for the saga of the Playstation. He deserves recognition for his previous work even though he has recently talked alot of crap. I'm sure he's less of an idiot than you, when did you create 2 consoles which sold over 100 million worldwide each?

Ken Kutaragi is the reason we have games today

Ken Kutaragi is one of the most influential people in the game industry, without him, there would be a significantly smaller market there is today. Without the playstation, there would be no Xbox. When Nintendo and Sega were in the market, only a handful of people owns consoles because the games were targeted to children while the older generation were playing in arcades. I remember back when I had a NES as my first console and the games were simple, fun and childish. When the SNES and N64 came out, it was pretty much the same thing, simple, fun childish games. My gaming needs started to float to the PC and has always been there ever since. When the Playstation was released, I remember going to a cousins house to play it all the time, it was really a different system that plays games that targeted teens and adults. I purchased one and soon enough everyone I know did. Playstation is the reason that the gaming market is as big as it is today, Microsoft would have never came into the market had the playstation not made it as big as it is today. They would have not seen the market as worth investing billions into had the playstation not turned the market into the 100+ million market it is today. Without playstation there would be no Xbox.

well...

you said more than once "no playstation no xbox", but if you want to look at it that way then I guess Benjamin Franklin is the most influential man in gaming because he made some of the earliest observations on electricity. "No Ben Franklin, no playstation"

bull*****...

"When Nintendo and Sega were in the market, only a handful of people owns consoles because the games were targeted to children while the older generation were playing in arcades" huh? I know I was playing in Arcades because the quality of Arcade games was always one step ahead of the consoles, up untill the PS2, Xbox days anyway. But I can promise you a lot of people who had grown up with Ataris, Spectrums, Commodores all bought Snes + MegaDrives, which both had a lot of games aimed at older gamers. (try to tell me Metroid was aimed at kids...) also if you look at the original line up for the PS most of the games were made for younger gamers and ironically enough most of the games pople would consider to be PS games aimed at mature gamers like MGS or FF all started out on your 'Fun' NES Also both the Saturn and Dreamcast did exactly what sony did with the PS, only the market wasn't ready for them at the time. Ken Kutaragi just happened to be in the right place and the right time and took the experience Sony had pushing other products and made their concole seem more mass appeal.

.....

You can add everyone who owned all those systems and never come close to how well the PS1 sold. Add up every console except the PS1 before the Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox and you wont even come close to 100+ million units. Its a fact that Sony Playstation is responsible for how big the market is today.

I stand corrected

The NES, SNES and Sega Genesis is 100 million right there. Point being, the market is much bigger then it would have been without the playstation.

ATTN: JB

Metal Gear did not debut on the NES. It first appeared on the MSX. The NES version was absolute crap. Get your facts straight next time.
