Kaz Hirai Quotations

One of the things we've always strived to do was position this as a new portable entertainment device that obviously plays games, but has so much more to offer,

Like the Internet, the PS2 is a very open model. If there is no revenue, there is no royalty. We leave it up to the publishers.

We have always attempted to do things differently. Our vision has taken us to unprecedented levels of success and innovation. Just keeping up with conventional technology is not enough for us.

We know they buy more games with more disposable income.

We're going to try to double the installed base between now and the end of the year.

PSP will enter an already crowded space, but one with much growth opportunities. PSP is a new format and a new business for us. It is a totally new play experience.

All of us at Sony Computer Entertainment have been waiting a long time for this moment,

It's hard to tell at this point in time. Even at our first-party studios we're putting the finishing touches on the games. I'd rather delay a game by a week or two then rush stuff out there.
