PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi says Sony execs opposed device and 'everyone told us we would fail'
Briefly

"Everyone told us we would fail," Kutaragi recalled in an interview, reflecting on the skepticism faced from both Sony executives and game developers regarding the PlayStation's potential.
Kutaragi noted, "We wanted to make the most of technological progress to create a new form of entertainment," highlighting his vision that propelled the PlayStation into the gaming market.
Despite significant pushback, including a "frosty response" from Japanese game developers wary of real-time 3D gaming, Kutaragi's determination led to unprecedented success.
Kutaragi's breakthrough vision contrasted sharply with the opposition he faced: "Most of the executives (at Sony) were fiercely opposed," fearing that the PlayStation could tarnish their reputation.
