Ken Kutaragi PS3 Hype
Mr. Kutaragi, the father of the Playstation, is in full blown reality distortion field mode. I guess when you're a visionary like Ken or Steve Jobs, you have to talk like this."I am an engineer and I like technology. I want to change the world with technology and I want to change our lives. The best way to realise it is, for us, PlayStation. "In the past, game machines used to use obsolete technologies. But we as engineers are always keen to introduce new technology to them. And with creators, we are very interested in creating totally new entertainment." The PlayStation 3 (PS3) is slated for release next spring and Mr Kutaragi says it promises to usher in a whole new era of entertainment, though observers point to hype like this about the PS2, which never really materialised.
