Ian Jackson Quotations

We're going to create a portable handheld environment, and you should expect the same things you've always expected from Playstation - a great quality product, versatility, great value to the consumer.

I think PSP is going to be the most successful handheld entertainment device ever. What it will do in terms of the versatility, obviously you can download music to it, and you'll be able to enjoy all your great tunes on it.

What we did ten years ago with the Playstation was a phenomenal success story for the company. That product had a ten year life cycle, which has never been done in this industry.

I'm sorry if the following sounds combative and excessively personal, but that's my general style.

I think you can expect Sony, in the case of PSP specifically, to deliver a technology that is going to reinvent and change handheld entertainment, and take it to a brand new level.

I think it's going to deliver on the promises we've said it's going to and it is going to be the most successful product ever to come into the handheld environment, and it just happens to have a number of different functions.

If we deliver on those promises, we'll have done our job, and we did it with PSOne, and we certainly did it with PS2, and we are about to do it very rapidly with PSP. This is a whole new business for us, in terms of the handheld market, and we're going about it the right way.

Obviously, their keeper is a big factor; he really rattles our kids. We know we don't play well when we get behind. We got behind, and that was the key to it.

Most importantly, we have more support than any handheld system has ever had that has had to compete with the Playstation brand.

We will migrate as technology migrates, and more often than not, we're the ones leading the technology drive. This product is here to stay.

I've said it to almost everybody today, competition is going to come and go, but we're here to stay and we've proven that time and time again.

Some people would've shut themselves away, and she was never like that, ... She was very willing to go out and talk about it.
