Sony Computer Entertainment founder dies

RIP Norio

Norio Ohga is kinda like PSN...... dead. Hopefully one of them is brought back :D Seriously though I'm way to pissed about PSN being down. Like if you are pissed too!

Rest in peace. And if you have time, haunt the hackers that brought down psn.

R.I.P. Norio. Your work will never be forgotten.

What is he holding in his hand in this picture? Looks like a walkman and I'm thinking that's a digital tape. All the pictures Gamespot could use of him and they put on up with him holding one of Sony's failed products.

"insisting its length be 75 minutes--long enough to hold Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in its entirety" Love it! Thank you for your work my good man!

Requiescat in pace

R.I.P Norio. I don't know what kind of world, let alone a video game world I or any gamer would live in without CDs and the PS.

Wow...At a time when his company and customers are being held hostage he won't get to see the final result (Which hopefully comes out good)...Thank you for everything...RIP

R.I.P Norio Ohga-San thank you for all of your work and great contributions to the world of media in general. @jemoedr - Thank you for the correction, I replied to the thread whilst sleepy/fatigued and make a human error.

Rest in Peace

Its a shame he had to die with the knowledge that his company's latest game system (PS3) has been brought to its knees by some douchbag hackers. :(

Rest In Peace man Your works will always cherish by us and will always be remembered by our grandsons

Rest In Peace. Us Sony fans will always remember you & ur accomplishments

Rest in peace. @gamestesterjan it is not Ken Kutaragi but Norio Ohga who died. @CurryMcFlurry you should be ashamed to give a comment like that in a topic like this. This man is one of those who gave you the opportunity to even have a Playstation!

Poor mister, died when his baby is in crisis...

May you rest well, free of the burdens of life. (Though you were rich as all hell most likely, so there couldn't have been too many burdens *shrugs*)

R.I.P Ken Kutaragi-San thank you for all of your work and great contributions to the world of media in general.

This man revolutionised CDs and gaming consoles. He gave use a brilliant series of video game consoles and much more. Such a shame to see us lose him like this. Hope he rests peacefully. @CurryMcFlurry: Yes man, we all wish PSN would get fixed. We just need to remember that without this guy, PSN wouldn't even exist.

We owe him so much. A brilliant visionary. Your long rest deserved.

R.I.P my first console ever was the PlayStation, I still have it today after 11 years. Thank you so much for all the fun I've had with the PS1, PS2 and PS3.

R.I.P Sony will never be brought down!

May he RIP. :cry:

Rest in peace, Mr. Ohga. You've done a lot in your life. Had some successes (PlayStation, CD, DVD), some busts (Minidisc), but you've done a lot. Sony could use more men like you now.

@ducusss Eh, I am embarrassed, I read a article completely wrong, 75 is avg for men, but again depending on where at you live...women are around 80. Well at least Intelligence notices Ignorance, hah.

R.I.P good sir *salutes*

@HT89488 I like how your telling people to educate themselves while claiming the average age of death is 90-95. Not 'til the year 2500, my friend.

:(

RIP to this guy. Its a shame he left on the note that Sony is in now.

The father of many formats; the man had vision. ty and R.I.P.

R.I.P. to him. :(

R.I.P man, you've made a lotta gamers happy!

R.I.P. Ohga-san. Retired in 2000? Now I know why Sony turned to crap in the last decade.

hacker meowmix :) (expects thumbs down for no reason)

R.I.P. my ninja. You have started an amazing division of the company. You deserve a good long rest.

R.I.P HE IS A LEGEND I RESPECT HIM :(

R.I.P.

R.I.P. man you will always be remember and never forgotten

R.I.P. can't get any worse for sony.

He helped created the compact disc . Thats a lifetime achievement in itself. R.I.P

@HT89488 Tell me, where's your source?

Why are some people connecting his death to PSN? His death has nothing to do with it - so please stop, a man has died. Stop worrying about your online services for once.

Dang, Rest in peace man we will all miss you

This guy created the CD huh? Awesome. May he rest in peace, his work is the base of most technology we have today.

Requiescat en Pace for all you have done. Your work has revolutionized the way that people would view electronic entertainment. You will not be forgotton by us...

Weird, that this happened, when the Sony hacking started O.o Did somekinda Norio Ohga fans rage out at Sony, or he died after the attack happened on Sony?

inb4 Ohga lolling towards Bahamas with stolen identity and 70m credit cards.

Sonyapocalypse!! No but seriously, thanks for your contributions. May you RIP.

ANONYMOUS IS RESPONSIBLE! ......... too soon?

RIP Norio Ohga, you made the gaming industry what it did and no amount of fanboyism can take that away!
