"That's the specification of PSP" Kutaragi,SCE president, rejected the trouble of game machine.
This is design which I proposed. Some people may complain about its usability, but game software makers and users should fit themselves in our specification.
Kutaragi the president of Sony Computer Entertainment(SCE) talks. He's talking about "Playstation Portable(PSP)", which sold on Dec 12 last year. PSP is in short supply because of its topicality.
Sony's game selection is a pole of groups, which does 60 percent or more of consolidated recurring profit of 3 terms until peoriod on Mar, 2004. Game selection even saved from "Sony shock" which caused by electuonic selection's business deterioration of 2003. PSP was on market as strategic merchandise, sinse about 5 years before. Attention rising by in and out is inevitability.
I wanted the screen size to be no smaller than this, and the overall size of PSP no larger than this. And the arrangement of the manipulation buttons are as intended. They are all as intended. This is my design, and this is my policy. The whole design is clearly conceptual, and there is nothing wrong with it. I'm confident, I've made the most beautiful gadget in the world. You know nobody raises complaint on the geometry of the entrance which a famous architect draws on his drawings? Just like that.
ボタン配置は狙い通り…のところ、 「the arrangement of the manipulation buttons "is" as intended」 areじゃなくてisかと思います。それを受けて次の行は 「It is as intended」でいいんでない?繰り返して強調してるってことで。

"That's a specification" SCE's Kutaragi Deny a Gossip About the Defects of Sony's PSP
In the current issue of Nikkei Business magazine, Ken Kutaragi ,the president of Sony Consumer Entertainment(SCE) ,denies the rumor that Play Station Portable(PSP) , SCE's newest portable game machine , has a number of defects in its earlier lot. On some Japanese websites and discussing boards ,consumers ,who won a PSP against difficuly to find in shops caused by its overheating popularity ,claims that one of its buttons do not work ,or it ejects the UMD (main media disc for games) against their will ,and so on.
According to Nikkei Business ,he says "PSP's design and specification is my idea. Some may claim about its usability or so ,but I think it is up to the users and third parties to adopt the specs. I didn't want neither to make the screen smaller ,nor I didn't want to make PSP any larger than now. Buttons are designed to be placed just as I aimed. It is a spec. I intentionally did so ,and I think PSP is the most beautiful handy gaming device which have been made ever. Think that ,who claims to the drawing of well-known archtect ,saying 'You put a gate to the wrong position' ?"
Kutaragi's words indicates it is because of the way of manipulation if you can't move charactors in the screen by pushing buttons.

On some Japanese websites and discussing boards ,consumers ,who successfly bought a PSP against difficuly to find in shops caused by "its overheating popularity" (by Japanese commercial media) ,insists that one of its buttons do not work ,or it ejects the UMD (PSP's media disc for games) against their will ,and so on.

PSP is SCE's new handheld which Have launched to widespread acclaim and success across Japan since its Japanese debut on 12 December, shifting 510,000 units before the end of the year
I don't want to make the screen smaller than this any more. And,also the body cannot be bigger. The positions of the buttons complained of are not accidental,but intentional. I made it like that on my definite purpose. It is not a mistake. I think I have designed PSP to be the most beautiful thing in the world. For example,if the building plan had been made by a famous architect, no one would have complained of the gate position. It's the thing I wanna tell you.

最初の「それは仕様です」は英語では"This is not a bug, this is a feature"といいます。エンジニアのジョークでよく出てきます。 文中のspecificationはそのままでいいと思いますが タイトルを"This is a feature"にするとオタク受けすると思います! (翻訳された方、気を悪くされたらごめんなさい。GJ乙!です。)
There may be people that complain about its usability, but that's something which users and game software developers will have to adapt to. I didn't want the PSP's LCD screen to become any smaller than this, nor did I want its machine body to become any larger.
