Support NeoGAF

[alejob]

In a recent print interview, Iwata-san said that if third parties were able to continue creating gorgeous, traditional games on rival next-generation formats and continue to expand their audiences that way, they "may not support Nintendo".

*Looks out for flying rocks*

I didn't see this posted anywhere. Man Revolution must be good or I will even more pissed @ Nintendo.

 

[aoi tsuki]

i'm pretty sure this is old. No offense, but it seems like there's a thread every day about how different Revolution will be.

 

[Meier]

Sounds like a plan guys!

 

[human5892]

Yeah, this is pretty old. It happens.

 

[AssMan]

Today is a good day to die.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

well...maybe it's just pre-emptive. No need to discuss why the 3rd party support stinks with the Rev...they told you up front instead of pretending otherwise this time!

 

[Speevy]

But will Kutaragi become the president of Sony?

 

[Doom_Bringer]

There goes the EA support

 

[GDJustin]

I saw on the news yesterday that the guy in charge of SCEA(thats the US branch right?) will be the next president.

He is a white guy, so Sony(PS3) = doomed in japan?

OMG!! Have you ever heard of the name W. Edwards Deming??

If hw is that dude, then I probably heard it yesterday. Didn't care to remember it

I don't what hw is but Deming was credited with teaching Japan quality control methods in Post WW2. Because of him Japan pulled wayy ahead of NA in the 1970's.

Much of the credit for Japan's flight to quality and the making of its world-class reputation goes to quality guru W. Edwards Deming. Deming urged companies to concentrate on constant improvements, improved efficiency and doing it right the first time. Deming was a professor of statistics at New York University when he was invited to Japan in 1950 to run a seminar for business leaders. Since the 1930s, Deming was interested in using statistics as a tool to achieve better quality control. Essentially, his idea was to record the number of product defects, analyze why they happened, institute changes, then record how much quality improved, and to keep refining the process until it is done right.

Deming owes at least part of his legendary status in Japan to a professor named Genichi Taguchi, Japan's home-grown quality management expert, who credited many of the American's ideas for his so-called Taguchi method. Taguchi and others would go on to influence a generation of Japanese engineers who would become the backbone of the nation's growing manufacturing prowess.

"I'm very impressed by the way the Japanese admire [Deming]," said Gregory Clark, president of Japan's Tama University. "They keep on talking about him as if he's a god."

i thought this was standard operating procedure. What, are companies saying "Yup, one out of ten fails. Sounds good. Now let's go look at some titties!"

Thanks for making me feel like I'm back in my Service Operations Management class. I'm supposed to be on spring break right now.

Also, Demming is a rad mofo.

Actually yes, it used to be like this before the big shift to quailty management.

It is *now*, but I'd imagine that tracking statistics wasn't a big concern of any manufacturer back in the day.

Heh, blame doom_bringer, he brought up the name. I studied his stuff about 15 years ago back when I was a quality engineer.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

Where are you working currently?

Where are you working currently?

In a major Swiss pharmaceutical company. I was with Rolls Royce Aerospace at that time but I left them, studied Computer Science for a while then went from retail development to banking to public sector. These days I provide service management and consultancy for my overlords.

It's more focused on ITIL & Prince II these days, but the idealology of it does tend to borrow from quality circles and related concepts.
