Can't believe he would list "apps from Sony" and "connectivity to our network services" as two of the top 5 selling points along with the screen, camera and water-resistance.
Before, I only saw the memes of him and thought he was a corrupt CEO, but after hearing him here, you must be right now that I see his reign started just last year and their E3 conference was fucking phenomenal- the best conference by far that I ever watched.
That guy makes over 100 million dollars a year. Still only about a quarter of Tim Cook's salary (I included Kaz's Bonus with his base salary, but I think Tim Cook may just be the base salary).
The KAZMAN! The Kazenegger, The Kaz Hirai Legend! This Man is truely the best who you can trust. He is a Gaming Legend. Thanks Kaz for those Awsome Great Exclusives and perfect Online Gaming, Controller and Graphics. My Life is a Playstation :)
That won't be until 2016, and by then 4K TV's will still be fairly expensive, about $3,000 - 5,000 It won't be until 2020 when msot people are gonna be able to fully adapt 4K televisons just like how most people didn't get HDTV's until 2010-2011.
Um... Ever heard of DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION? Besides, I think a Vita could even emulate a PSP. N64 games on the Wii U? Just you wait for the homebrew scene to take off, and you'll see emulators any time soon.
I agree with you on most of the part, but I think his interview can make up for those small issues. I think people in high positions should at least wear suitable clothes for important occasions. It also shows that they respect other executives etc. Even if every person has the freedom to wear whatever, don't be another Mark Zuckerberg. (in the clothing area)
He's done a real bangup job with the Vita.. Which btw is being absolutely trounsed by the competition. It's barely alive in the states and in Japan it's worse than 2 to 1 sales vs the 3DS. Saying that the PS3 has life in it still is sorta rhetorical because the installed user base is high, but it took 6 years. Since his rise to control the Sony brandname in his homeland has become a literal joke. I've had to have my ps3 fixed 3 times by sony, and I treat it like gold. My Vita is gathering dust.
Nothing personal but on a friendly note the editor in chief of engadget should be wearing a better at least ironed suit at CES and that also while interviewing this guy. Somehow in US fashion sense in general population is non existent.
So Kaz can speak incredibly clear English, but Iwata can't be bothered? Am I missing something, or is there an actual reason why Nintendo's big man won't be coached?
Sony are the #1 company in the world. Great prouducts like the famous Walkman, bravia tvs, smartphones, cameras etc. Services are fantastic all the time. Obviously thae makers of the best gaming and entertainment platform in the world PlayStation. Great and respectful men like Kazou Hirai, Jack Tretton, Sir Howard Stringer and please Howard dont retire we all love you. Also, one of the biggest men in the muisc industry works for Sony and that man is Simon Cowell. :) So in conclusion Sonys better
he went to an international school in Japan, which means he had a full english education. At lot of international school kids in Asia have english has their mother tongue as opposed to their native language :)
at 8:22 Kaz says it's about too early to talk about next generation consoles, where in fact, by feb 2013 they will announce the PS4, and it's coming in Q4 this year. hahaha Kaz is such a Troll. Troll in a good way. haha Clearly they want the ps4 to be top secret during this time.
He's much better than Iwata. Iwata's Engrish is unbearable. Glad Sony hired a company head that can speak Japanese and English fluently. Shame on you, Nintendo!
My I have a job. Where I got to go to Fill out a app. I have gud ides. One. PlayStation mobile™ drop android. Come up w Ur own os. Pich the screen and u will see xmb. Push home bottom it will go to Ur home screen. Up to 7 screens BT delete. If u want. Phone. log in.(psn) Pic. video.Games(some psn games also psone).apps.Sitting. bring plus. Integration ps3.Vita.PSM.there u go.
What a nice man,pleasant,knowledgeable and easy to talk to.Can't wait for my E Z.
I'd say "regular guy in a suit" is a pretty good impression compared to how a corporate executive could be usually seen as.
love you kaz ! love sony xperia z and duo 11 ....13 love all about sony and DLNA and NFC
We Love Papa Kaz!
So much has changed in 5 years. 5.5"+ is the new normal phone display size. Sony should have kept the Xperia Z name.
Can't believe he would list "apps from Sony" and "connectivity to our network services" as two of the top 5 selling points along with the screen, camera and water-resistance.
I love sony
kaz was educated in an american school in japan and spent a lot off give travelling the usa on business trips with his dad has a young lad
He speaks English better than most native-born English speakers.
Before, I only saw the memes of him and thought he was a corrupt CEO, but after hearing him here, you must be right now that I see his reign started just last year and their E3 conference was fucking phenomenal- the best conference by far that I ever watched.
Kaz is the man to change Sony and he has done a great job so far.
That guy makes over 100 million dollars a year. Still only about a quarter of Tim Cook's salary (I included Kaz's Bonus with his base salary, but I think Tim Cook may just be the base salary).
Yup...couldn't have said it better myself.
It doesn't get any bigger than Sony CEO and President when it comes to tech industry :)
i pretty much agree with you. the only e3 that could rival this year e3 was e3 1995 but that's just my take though
He speaks more fluent English than the guy he's being interviewed by.
Imagine what his house looks like with electronics... Electronic Heaven
He attended an american school in japan, that's why his english is so good c:
I would die to hear his opinion on the Xbone.
The lack of PS 4 news is disappointing.
The KAZMAN! The Kazenegger, The Kaz Hirai Legend! This Man is truely the best who you can trust. He is a Gaming Legend. Thanks Kaz for those Awsome Great Exclusives and perfect Online Gaming, Controller and Graphics. My Life is a Playstation :)
Great interview, Vincent Van Gogh!
That won't be until 2016, and by then 4K TV's will still be fairly expensive, about $3,000 - 5,000
It won't be until 2020 when msot people are gonna be able to fully adapt 4K televisons just like how most people didn't get HDTV's until 2010-2011.
time*
long live all the genius, so we can laid back and play games
I still love the note 2
As a Japanese,he speaks very fluent English
Kaz Hirai, the savior of gaming.
Long live the PS4.
So he's talking to Sony's CEO with Galaxy S3 in his Pocket...Cooollllll:-D
I like how he ignored the next gen gaming questions lol
Same with the PS5 being ignored.
The CEO has the final product in his hands!
he did spend a lot of time growing up in america.
8:23 kaz trolling about next gen... 10 days after, playstation meeting is announced :)
A water proof smart phone? I could go for that o.o
Kaz Hirai is the man
Kaz is the man
I think he's kinda rude. He kept interrupting the host....
you sure?
The interviewer has a Galaxy Note 2 in his jacket pocket
We could probably combine the z and the l, oh look we did just that lol.
Thats my dad guys.
Won't buy a 4K OLED tv until 4K Bluray with HFR is avaliable
Kaz
to most folks, he's just a regular guy in suit. but to sony diehards, he's a hero
Because I have a PC which leaves me only needing Nintendo exclusives.
Sony Playstation 1, 2 and 3. Sony PSP, Sony PS Vita and Sony Walkman. Can not get enough Sony.... THANK YOU SONY!
Um...
Ever heard of DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION? Besides, I think a Vita could even emulate a PSP.
N64 games on the Wii U? Just you wait for the homebrew scene to take off, and you'll see emulators any time soon.
Talking to Sony kaz Hiari with galaxy note 2 on his jacket pocket haha
It's Ridge Racer!!!
Hmm, interesting. That still doesn't explain what's stopping Watty.
I agree with you on most of the part, but I think his interview can make up for those small issues.
I think people in high positions should at least wear suitable clothes for important occasions. It also shows that they respect other executives etc.

jeez kaz is on his shit ALL HAIL THE PLAYSTATION MASTER RACE
Not a S3, Note 2 ;)
when I can get my phone back
He answer before hearing the complete question... what's up with that??
He's done a real bangup job with the Vita.. Which btw is being absolutely trounsed by the competition. It's barely alive in the states and in Japan it's worse than 2 to 1 sales vs the 3DS.

is this guy made my life more beautiful and enjoyable?
Hooooolyshit. His english is fucking superb!!
Ikr? I wish all asian reps at CES are just as good... :P
All hail KAZ!
Nothing personal but on a friendly note the editor in chief of engadget should be wearing a better at least ironed suit at CES and that also while interviewing this guy. Somehow in US fashion sense in general population is non existent.
Haha, no. When OLED monitors are available with a reasonable pricing you will never ever speak of CRT again.
Student of American School in Japan.
So Kaz can speak incredibly clear English, but Iwata can't be bothered? Am I missing something, or is there an actual reason why Nintendo's big man won't be coached?
For the PS4, HAIL HIRAI
it's too early to talk about next gen console T^T
dat english...
AND samsung's ceo admits that he uses an iphone and ipad and mac
Well, he's Kind Of A Big Deal after all.
He got 4K men that's what's up!!
If one's smart enough, he'd easily pick up the Xperia Z over any other smartphone.
What about RIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAACER kaz?
Sony are the #1 company in the world. Great prouducts like the famous Walkman, bravia tvs, smartphones, cameras etc. Services are fantastic all the time. Obviously thae makers of the best gaming and entertainment platform in the world PlayStation.

Long Live Sony! PS4
BIG DEAL ...samsungs US manager had a windows phone with him in a interview.
Kaz for (paste country in here) president! His tweets are hilarious btw....
he went to an international school in Japan, which means he had a full english education. At lot of international school kids in Asia have english has their mother tongue as opposed to their native language :)

Well he spent most of his years of studying in schools that teaches in English. so that's kinda expected.
599 US DOLLAR GIANT ENEMY CRABS
He's got a terrible habit of saying "y, know"
He would beat the shit out of bill gates
at 8:22 Kaz says it's about too early to talk about next generation consoles, where in fact, by feb 2013 they will announce the PS4, and it's coming in Q4 this year. hahaha Kaz is such a Troll. Troll in a good way. haha Clearly they want the ps4 to be top secret during this time.

He's much better than Iwata. Iwata's Engrish is unbearable. Glad Sony hired a company head that can speak Japanese and English fluently. Shame on you, Nintendo!
