Ken Kuturagi
Proving that you don’t need to have designed a computer game to make a list of best individuals, Ken was the man at Sony who had the vision to came out with the Playstation. Internal executives at Sony were as skeptical as the market initially was. Ken’s first battle was to win Sony itself over to the idea of becoming a player in the console market. At the time, it was a two-horse race, with Atari having been crushed between the giants Sega and Nintendo. Conventional wisdom said that entry into this market was impossible.
As usual, conventional wisdom was wrong. The Playstation was released to cries of "what the..? Sony, making a console? What do they know?" From there, the only way was up, and the Playstation soon became the dominant console. The Nintendo 64 was barely a blip on the radar, essentially playing Apple to Sony’s Microsoft. Sega burned all their cash on the Dreamcast, which failed.
The Playstation came out of nowhere to change an industry, and it’s all thanks to this man.
