He also took time to address accusations from developers that Sony provides documentation in Japanese—certainly something that would slow down the development process, if true. “I think that it’s a myth that we provide documentation in Japanese. It’s just not true,” he argued. “I don’t know where that came from. In fact, most of the key components for the PlayStation 3 are from English language parts of the world. … It’s just a complete myth that we drop the Japanese language on [developers].”

“We have supplied the market with more products in Japan, Asia and the US than we did the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2, and more software than PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2,” Harrison said. Sizing up the high volume of product shipped to criticisms of the PS3’s launch, he asked, “So, what’s wrong with this picture?”
