My guest today is an American businessman and the former and first president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
Raised in Boston, Massachusetts to immigrant parents, my guest had a strict upbringing.
But despite the disadvantages he faced, he graduated with distinction with a degree in computer science at Boston College, then studied marketing at Harvard Business School.
He first worked for the razor manufacturer Gillette, rising to the rank of head of worldwide shaving, then joined Atari, then Columbia Pictures.
In January 1995, he became president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, responsible for launching the company's first video game console, the PlayStation.
He remained at the company until 2005.
They were, he once told me, the best 10 years of my life.
Welcome, Chris Deering.
Hello Simon.
So yeah, Chris, take me back.
You joined PlayStation a month after the console launched in Japan in December 94.
But when were the.
What was the first time you ever heard the words Sony PlayStation?
Do you remember?
There's a long history that precedes the decision to launch PlayStation.
There was actually a joint project underway between Sony and Nintendo for a new console that would involved CDs as the medium and it would take both cartridges and CDs and I actually saw one of these devices in the office of Olaf Olufsen, who was running Sony Electronic Publishing at the time and was involved with the planning process.
