DICE Summit <3 Ken Kutaragi, father of PlayStation
From Crackle:
We love you Ken Kutaragi, or as we like to you call you, Crazy Ken. You were awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at DICE, and this video explains your incredible accomplishments. Called the "father" of PlayStation, Kutaragi is responsible for redefining what games are meant to be -- away from their "toy" moniker into something more mainstream. PS3 is the culmination of his vision, and we'd be out of a job without you. So thanks.

Actually if it wasn't for Microsoft wanting in on Sony's huge success with the PS1 and PS2 there wouldn't be a 360 either.

Damn, this guy is amazing, and more so when you look at his history on the video game industry....dating back to the SNES...
Not only as a videogamer, but as a guy wanting to become an engineer, thanks Kutaragi....

This guy has always been my idol, and because of his vision I have had over 10 years of fantastic PlayStation gaming. I wish he didn't have to go but his legacy is still there. As others have already said, God bless.

Without me, you would still be playing Sonic and Mario and Sonic and Mario...and the press would be right, games would ONLY played by kids and not by adults.
Praise be to me the mighty Father of Modern Videogaming as you know it.

I have more respect for Nintendo for laying the ground work. Without them they wouldn't of pissed Sony so much off that they carried on with the PS project after the whole Philips betrayal.
Big N, Sony, Sega, and way down at the bottom Mircosoft for throwing their filthy money in at the end, poorly engineering the worst built console ever, knowing that it was defected and still selling it so get that precious head start and the u.s controlled blogopshere for not only letting them get away will it but praising them.

Uhhh? What?
Did I miss something...since when was this man so great in the video game industry? PS2 and PS3 are great...but come on...
If I remember many of his stupid quotes...this guy is a moron. This video was funny though. Nice joke article PS2FB.
