OK, so he didn’t make a statement quite that dumb, but you have to hand it to the guy running Computer Entertainment division; he sure knows how to make Sony look like a group of stuck-up morons. When asked if Sony’s competitors – you know, the one with the year-long head start and the one with the $250 console – might manage to outpace Sony for the first time, Kutaragi replied, “We don’t care.” Apparently, in Sony’s mind, if you ignore you competition, they disappear. Logical…if you’re twelve.

Immediately after making this awesomely-retarded comment, Kutaragi admitted that the PS3 is facing a massive blue diode shortage that will significantly impact how many PS3s Sony can pump out at any given time:

“Right now, it is an issue, because we can’t manufacture enough blue laser diodes for our PlayStation 3s. But we will resolve that.”

Now all they need to do is pretend that their console ISN’T in a class of its own (seriously guys, that “fine dinner” analogy was retarded…gaming is a hobby, not a life-changing investment) and they might stand a chance of beating Microsoft’s large head start, larger library, proven networking service, and legions of dedicated Xbox Livers. Or they could pretend that they’re the only show in town until they implode. The choice is yours, guys.
