Stumble it! 
Woh, this just in. The architect of Sony Playstation, Ken Kutaragi, will be stepping down from his position as Chief of Sony Comp. Entertainment. I thought this was rather eminent imminent ever since he was replaced as President sometime last year by Kazuo Hirai. Kazuo now takes over as group CEO.
Ken had to see this coming. The PS3 was overly priced, more or less had the same controller design and was padded up with a myriad of functionalities. The Nintendo Wii, on the other hand, was 4-5 times cheaper (USD 150 there abouts), had a cool motion sensitive controller and was simple. “You buy a console to play games, not watch DvDs”. Business 2.0 has good article on this.
Simplicity 1 Functionality 0
Bye bye Ken….
Hello Miyamoto…
