Ken Kutaragi on PS3 Not Being for the Market

Ken made a strange statement on what the PS3 is looking to captivate, and it’s NOT the market.

Ken Kutaragi is the man behind the creation of the PS1, PS2, and the upcoming PS3. He is very well known for making some extremely bold statements, and his love of hardware achitecture/technology. Some people at Sony don’t agree with his vision for the PS3, and are seeing Nintendo’s approach as a much more marketable one. Here is an excerpt from an “off the record� discussion an industry insider had with Sony management.

Kutaragi is interested only in consoles and technology. He does not care about the market. Some SCE officers disagree with his approach, feeling that the company should be more market sensitive. Kutaragi does not care. Nintendo has shown that it isn’t only about powerful technology and graphics, but the PS3 isn’t geared for that market at all and is intended for a very specific customer.

It seems like a lot of people are worried about the PS3 as of late, and apparently the consumers aren’t the only ones.
