Kutaragi on Sony's competition: "We don't care." [update 1]

~~Kids~~ Ken Kutaragi says the darndest things. Though never easy to opine on your competition to a reporter, the father of the PlayStation had this to say when asked by British trade magazine MCV regarding Sony's next-gen competition (Xbox 360 and Wii): "We don't care." Ironically, this statement was made in the very same interview after admitting to PS3 production problems. "Right now ... we can't manufacture enough blue laser diodes for our PlayStation 3s. But we will resolve that," said the Sony exec.

Maybe Ken was having a bad day. Maybe he's tired of all the unfavorable publicity the PS3 is getting. If not, someone get this man a muzzle. Any businessman that implies an absence of competition seriously needs a reality check.

no matter how you cut it
sony basically said "WE DON'T CARE" about the competition being of threat

see what i did mohaski
i didn't write a wall of words over Technical differences that boils down to meaning the same thing

nor use big words

Face it
Sony talks alot of shit
Sony also doesn't give a shit
And sony's treatmant to the consumer is shit

Let see, the Japanese market will have lower priced PS3s while USA will not, sounds like Sony still wants to dominate or favours home turf (initially?), and dude the 360 ain't happenin in Japan, are they letting the US market slide for now in order to better cater to Japan, its most loyal fanbase?

"sony's treatmant to the consumer is shit"

that's why said fucked up company, under so much preassure from all over, initiated a global recall of their problematic notebook batteries. Because they treat their consumers like shit indeed.

I agree w/ Bodah
why do people generalize all americans? Jeff needs to be less of a hypocrite...
btw i think sony is a little screwed this time around wat with KennyK going around with his we dont care stuff, i mean if rocky balboa or arnold schwarzenneger sed this it would be diff

You and Adam S from xplay put it best.
This guy needs to shut up. Every time I see something that makes me want a ps3 Ken or Phil say something that makes me want to pass on it just out of spite.
