Ken Kutaragi's Famous Last Words
When we look back on this E3, I think one of the moments we're most clearly going to remember is the dead silence in the Sony press conference following the price announcement. Eurogamer and GameDaily has coverage of Phil Harrison's spin work, trying to recover from that moment, discussing how Sony is not ripping off Nintendo and Microsoft probably won't meet their 10 million units goal. More interestingly, they discuss an interview with Ken Kutaragi conducted by a Japanese website. From that piece: "SCEI president Ken Kutaragi has defended the PlayStation 3's high price tag once again, declaring that not only will consumers be prepared to pay the cost but that the console is 'probably too cheap.' In an interview with Japanese website IT Media, partially translated by IGN, Kutaragi said: 'This is the PS3 price. Expensive, cheap - we don't want you to think of it in terms of game machines ... For instance ... Is it not nonsense to compare the charge for dinner at the company cafeteria with dinner at a fine restaurant? It's a question of what you can do with that game machine. If you can have an amazing experience, we believe price is not a problem.'"
"Sony is not ripping off Nintendo", "Microsoft will not meet its goal" Where have I heard talk like that before? Oh yeah... Baghdad Bob.
In that case...waiter? Check please!

On the other hand, if you're trying to impress a guest or a boss, you don't bring them to Taco Bell, you bring them to a fancy restaurant.

1. Screw the Cell processor. We want more standard stuff. Like an 8-core or something.
2. Give us a physics coprocessor.
3. Keep the backwards compatibility.
There.
... it was determined today that Ken Kutaragi has a stick thoroughly shoved up his ass. When asked is this was a flaw or intended, Kutaragi responded "Sony has no flaws," and that no matter what he is God and we should all bow down to him because he knows what is best.
Sorta like caviar, eh? Speaking of which, for the cost of the high end PS3, you could get about 7 ounces of Russian Imperial caviar. For a Wii, you could get about 50 foot long subs.
I know which I'd take!
The PS3 price really isn't that bad when you consider that games will only be $120 each.

You're right. I listened to the Google video you linked to and it was dead silent for the entire duration.
Well, at least when you go on a date to an expensive restaurant you can usually get a blowjob out of the deal. It's been my experience that this is not the case when you take a date to McDonald's, regardless of how Happy the meal is. "It's been a really long time since I've had a Big Mac. Well, thanks. See ya."
"Look, Smithers! I'm Davy Crockett!"
You read it here first, folks, indesputable evidence that the PS3 will get you laid...
"This thing does science so hard, you say, 'I've never seen that much science.'" -Sam
He was using it in the literal sense..he got laid.
Please, for the good of Humanity, vote Obama.
That's Nintendo's big secret. Why do you think they call it the Wii?
