There were some pretty dumb things said in 2007. I know, I said some of them. There were some well paid people out there,  made a ton of comments about video games for the public to see that said a lot dumber things than I ever could.

I guess with great money comes great stupidity.

Find out what dumb things were said after the jump.

The first person is Katie Couric.  Her comment on Manhunt 2 in Katie’s Corner on CBS.com. Full story here.

“What sets this game apart is the player can become physically involved in the acts of violence. Rather than just pushing buttons, the player actually wields a knife, an axe, a glass shard to stab an opponent.”

Phil Harrison, Mr. Ps3, had this to say about the shortness of Heavenly Sword. Full story here.

“You know what? Not that many people finish games, so I think we shouldn’t criticize a game for being a story, which has an arc with a beginning, a middle and an end… and actually encouraging all gamers to see all of the story, I think that’s something positive.”

Jack Tretton, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, had this to say about the PS3’s slow start. Full story here.

“We realized that not every consumer is going to be ready for what the PlayStation 3 offers (HD and broadband) in the first year and I don’t know that we expect or need them to be ready for it. We need them to be ready for it over the next decade. And if you look at the PlayStation 2, we sold 120 million machines so far — but we certainly didn’t sell them all in the first year.”

I’m not sure how much they are paying these people, but for about half of what they make, you could hire me and I could say dumb things too!

Honestly, this article could go on for another five pages, filled with Sony executive quotes, but you get the idea.
