Interview with the vice-president of Sony Computer Entertainment America Kaz Hirai in 1998.

[NFSBeast]

I wish him all the best in his future. Thanks, Hirai-Sama for keeping PlayStation alive back when it was in it’s dark era. We will miss him dearly

[RobertK]

This man 20 years later became president and CEO of Sony

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

"You must never become complacent."
.
YEAH, ABOUT THAT

[sadid-xp]

Kaz Hirai was an innovator and influential

[CanalDojogames]

All indie devs should listen to hin. (Should see this video)
I mean every dev...because we have some good games that are very boring..

If you listen carefully you will see that Playstation is always looking into Player experience. On other side looking to the new xbox, they ate looking on what is inside the box.. but its not general, ofcourse they look into players but they dont evolve their control, something inovative like PS... Xbox controller never had six axis, and dont have today...

[zanfear]

Gotta stay 2 steps ahead of the competition or else you become complacent?

Where is this wisdom with the current PS5 generation, Sony?

[jamirimaj]

little does he know... that he will be playing RIDGEEEE RACERRR on the PSP in 8 years lol

[youngman]

I love that original PlayStation in black version♥♥♥

[kevingame]

And that's PlayStation was born and Microsoft is taking notes from Sony releasing the Xbox in 2001 since the PlayStation came out 7 years earlier

[DeathNeff]

I miss Kuturagi, Hirai, Tretton and Laydan ERA. Playstation needs it's own Phil Spencer

[kidd]

So basically Kaz Hirai started off as a rapper.

[IkeSan]

Too bad they did not follow what he said here after he retired.

[moblin]

i wonder how all the nintendo & xbox fanboys feel about this
