Here is Masatsuka Saeki, executive vice president of SCE, on TV Tokyo news program World Business Satellite. I don't have the exact quote from Saeki, but the caption that sums up his statements is at the bottom:
"The first purchasers of the PSP will be adults. For the Nintendo DS, it will be the kiddies."
Yes, he actually said "kiddies"! (Actually he said "okochama", which is a more familiar and brusque version of "okosama," a polite way of referring to someone's children.)
This may go down as one of the greatest quotes in game-industry history, even on a day when people worldwide had already been busily trolling away at the Nintendo DS's launch lineup (revealed today at events in Seattle and Tokyo). I attended neither event, so I can only comment on what I've read, but so far I'm a little disappointed. There are few good titles, yes -- Kimi no tame nara shineru, of course, as well as Goemon and Nintendogs -- but there's a ton of rehashes and an equal amount of games that just look awful, which paints a grim picture of DS third-party support. Nintendo's lucky, IMO, that the PSP's game lineup is so incomplete at this point, because otherwise it'd be darned difficult for the system to compete in direct comparison.
Ah well. Back to work! It's holiday time, and that means I get to play lots of fine games day and night... great for my mind, but terrible for my body.
