Fighting words: Fils-Aime makes PS3 shooting joke |
Ó
Them's some fighting words over at Nintendo's camp. According to the video interview, the folks who shot Spike TV's Game Head segments managed to catch Reggie Fils-Aime making a rather pointed attack on the PS3.In relation to the PS3's current spate of negative media attention and the long lines for PS3's opening days, Reggie made a pass towards the spate of PlayStation 3-related shootings and violence. As caught on camera, Fils-Aime said, "Were those the people ducking to not get shot or...? I'm just not sure."
In contrast to those statements, Phil Harrison focused more on how many people were satisfied with their purchase because they bought a PS3 and were entertained by it. Said Harrison,
We are creating technology that empowers entertainment for people. And ultimately, it's the people who spend their money, who buy the machine, who love the machine, who have a tremendous relationship with that machine...
In any event, here's the fourth segment of Game Head's DICE episode, where the offending bits are clearly heard.

Go Reggie Go!!!
lolololol
never take anything serious that comes from the mouth of a man with a HYPHEN in his name
Reggie making arrogant jokes about people getting shot at... What an *****.
Nintendo just lost a client.
"At least a woman didn't die of water intoxication for mine"
That would have been a burn for the ages.
Hey guys wanna make some fast cash? Then go here!!http://www.freewebs.com/easymoneymyway/
lol, sounds like something Phill would say. the man is brilliant, funny and is great at giving out information.
in his words;
"our friends at Microsoft"
that was a great one.
The Wii isn't exactly a great console for him to be saying things about Sony. The Wii will die in 1-2 years
exactly!
last time i checked the wii has sold TWICE as many consoles than the ps3 has. ps3 will be lucky if it even has developers left for it in 1-2 years.
wii is the biggest rip off in gaming history a gamecube with a wiimote are people dumb are what 250 for a wii more control ,the wiimote is not even that good wii games are just last gen ports ,mini games and nintendo games.ps3 /360 games wii fans will be crying about gta 4,unreal 3,mercenaries 2,assassins creed,the darkness,virtuu fighter 5,crysis,burnou t paradise city,cmr dirt,army of two only on true next gen machines.not wii last gen crap.walk up people.
Although my post came out after "war" i meant to agree with warrior.
only kids buy wii
same goes to those who can't spell ghetto correctly in their name
then i guess there are millions of 20-40 year old kids out there >_>
^^^^^ *has hyphen in name if you didn't catch the joke* ^_^
I think you will find that although the Wii does not have the graphical power of the PS3 or the 360, it has (roughly) twice the power of the orginal Xbox, which, In my opinion, should suit everyone
the wiimote sucks big time ,red steel,far cry crap playablity.graphics.all wii look very last gen,
VERY last gen.! amen to that
Wii may look last gen, but its still pwning the PS3 and thats a fact, jack.
shows the ignorance of people...shooting over a console.
The PS3 is an oversized paperweight/vacuum cleaner. It forsakes ingenuity for, I admit, overwhelming power where people can see their characters sweat. What's next with PS4? Will we be able to smell our characters sweat? The gaming world needs more ingenuity like the Wii. Just because at the moment games aren't using the Wii's potential doesn't mean anything. Hell, even PS3 developers have yet to tap its immense power. At the moment I'd rather buy a Wii or a PS2 because games there are FUN. They actually make you move (for PS2 I'm refering to DDR and Guitar Hero and for Wii, basically Wii Sports). Still, give it a few years and watch the Wii thrive, can't say the same for the oversized paperweight, uh I mean PS3.
That would make sense if the PS3 actually had sales. If anything, the PS3 is already dead.
I'm willing to bet that all of the people who posted right after each other saying "Wiimote is a ripoff!" are all one person.
You're probably just angry that your console is weaker than an Xbox 360 yet cost $200 more and is in last place. PS3 games are all outclasses by God of War II which looks much better than your crappy PS3 games including MGS4. Also all of PS3's games look like poo in-game. Yay.
Quickly walk up everyone! Let's power walk to safety!
Had it been genuinely funny, I wouldn't have cared if he was insensitive. Since that line was kinda funny, something a 4chan nerd/lurker would say, I'm indifferent. Reggie has openly stated that he's a Nintendo nerd in various interviews.
If that doesn't convince you then, look at it this way. Penn Jillette, of Penn + Teller, has a father whose friend has a really great sense of humor. One day, the two of them met up with another friend who is an officer and since they didn't have anything better to do, they have a chat with him all while walking around town. Eventually though, The cop comes across someone that had violated traffic. Now as he is writing the ticket, said father's friend has this really sly grin on his face and Penn's father is just laughing and shaking his head even before a single word escapes his friend's mouth. He whispers in his father's ear, "I just got a great idea for a prank! Wouldn't it be funny if I snuck up on him, took his gun and played around with it?" Penn's father doesn't say a thing. Instead, he silently nods and tries to stifles his laughter at what's about to happen. So his friend proceeds with his stupid plan, and I mean dangerously stupid. He places care into every single one of his steps, sneaking up on this unsuspecting officer buddy of theirs, slowly reaches for the gun inch by inch, and creeping oh so close to his hilarious destination. That's when the cop turns around and fires a round into his friend's stomach +D. But get this, we haven't gotten to the great part yet. He's in the hospital, in intensive care and under a coma for a little over a month and everybody was visiting him that day: Penn Jillette, his father, and the officer. You might not believe what happens next. He wakes up out of his coma laughing! Hahahaha! Every single person in that room was cracking up to the point of stitches for about an hour. After things settled down he points enthusiasticall y to the cop, "Oh! You got me! You got me good!" And from that moment on, that's the kind of person Penn Jillette wants to be when he grows up. Someone that can shrug off something as seemingly big and serious as a gunshot wound to the stomach and turn that around into something you can fondly remember later on. This incident has not only influenced himself but his career as seen in Penn + Teller dark comedic approach to magic acts.
And if you don't believe me, he told this story on a radio show which you can also hear on podcast for free through iTunes or http://www.pennradio.com (I forget which one though but I think it's within the past month or so)
wow, you say the PS3 games look like poo? What does that make Wii games look like?
wii games look so crap,
So it's okay for Reggie to make fun of the competition
But when M$ or Sony makes fun of anyone, they look like f*ckin idiots.
Nice double standards you have there, oh followers of the church of Nintendo.
