KnackChap Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/02/08/...onored-at-dice/ The airplane has the Wright Brothers. The lightbulb and record player (and about a thousand other things) have Thomas Edison. So who holds a similarly lofty position, “Father of the PlayStation?” That would be Ken Kutaragi. You’ve probably heard his name before - Kutaragi was the man who got the PlayStation ball rolling in 1994, and presided over Sony Computer Entertainment during the release of the PlayStation 2, the best-selling in-home game system in history (more than 120 million units shipped worldwide). This week at the annual D.I.C.E. Summit, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS), presented Ken Kutaragi with its coveted 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award. It’s very safe to say that if not for Ken Kutaragi, you would not be enjoying Uncharted or God of War, looking forward to games like Metal Gear Solid 4 or LittleBigPlanet, or even reading this blog. For more information on this award, Also, here’s the video about Kutaragi that played at the presentation. http://crackle.com/c/Video_Games/Ken_Kutar...276178%26o%3D12 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- you deserved it ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arun360 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 This man deserves utmost respect. Sony ought to honor him and make him President of Sony Computer Entertainment worldwide, the position he rightfully owns. Even though I'm saddened by the death of HDDVD, and I'm happy his gamble with BluRay paid off. Good on ya, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
