Jordan Freeman Was My Friend

So, I decided to start a new company called Amitron. Our business model was to import circuit boards from Japan to simply swap into coin-op machines that were not making any money. I then later sold that company to Atari which was under new management. I was involved with the development of product, mainly the Lynx, which at that time I believe was the best handheld system available. I feel it was superior to even what Nintendo had at the time. It was extremely frustrating though, because Atari hardly had any budget for anything.
Jack Tramiel was not funding a lot of product. He was all about hardware, not software. Steve was President of PlayStation.

So, once you were on the PlayStation team, what were your duties? How far along were they? They were adjusting the hardware for final revisions. It was just before CES in Chicago. Sony was negotiating with Nintendo about a joint venture, you see, the PlayStation was actually supposed to be a peripheral add-on for their Super Nintendo console. Nintendo decided to go with Philips though without telling us and that really pissed off Ken Kutaragi. So much so, that Ken walked away from the deal, and talked to Norio Ohga, President of Sony overall at the time, said we should just make our own console instead.
Morita, who was then the Chairman of Sony, he came up with the PlayStation name. He knew it would work. I rounded up as many third parties as possible with my team. Sony had really thought this through and I think people could tell. I loved working with Ken Kutaragi, incredibly intelligent and incredibly talented. That all happened in the winter of My boss, Steve Race got fired.

Micki Shohoff, who ran Sony North America overall also got let go. It was not good. It was obvious they wanted the Japanese office to have full control. I had a strong intuition that I would be on their replacement list sooner or later.

I had one condition, cancel the Saturn and allow me to personally design a new and better console. I think they knew software was already coming in fast thanks to what we built and they thought they could just maintain it, and they did. SEGA had lost close to a billion dollars the year before. They had eight pieces of hardware going concurrently.

They had greatly overextended themselves. We got PlayStation going with a team less than half their size. I took SEGA from about people down to around 90 people. I also felt they needed a whole new marketing and sales approach. For that, I brought in Peter Moore, who came from the Reebok shoe company. He knew retail sales like Peter knew branding.

I firmly believe we had an incredible team for the Dreamcast launch. A great product needs a great team, we had both.
I went out and hunted for these types of individuals. I only work with winners. You have to work with people who are both intelligent and hard working, they have to believe they are winners too in order to become winners. Both Steve Ackeroyd and Shuji Utsumi were in business development at Sony, they came to work for me at Sega, we had all had a mutual respect and vision.

We had an amazing team that really delivered and drove the product. I believed that the future of games was not DVD, it was merely a stop-gap, it was going to be massive multi-player online gaming with digital downloads being the main delivery system of the future. I was a big believer in that and still am.
I saw network play and the Internet evolving and I knew cloud gaming was coming, look at what Dreamcast could do with its modem, we were way ahead of our time. Online was our future and what would define Dreamcast in the marketplace. There is a rumour though that you banned RPGs from the Saturn, did this affect the Dreamcast as well?
Pure fantasy and fallacy. I fully supported RPGs on all consoles I was a part of plain and simple. However, whenever approving titles, they needed to be fun with good gameplay mechanics, crisp graphics, nice sound and whatever else fit well within what the game was supposed to be. Nakayama, who brought me in to the company in the first place, he was forced out of the company by Mr. Okawa, who at that point was the largest shareholder.

When Nakayama was forced out, Okawa came to me when we were launching the project and wanted to change the launch date for Dreamcast among other things. He really wanted SEGA to just be a software company. I think SEGA will keep going. For example, Sonic and Mario are very similar.
This is a short story and well written with historical value. I highly recommend it to anyone whether they lived in that area or not.
