Perrin thinks we're freaks, and not the good kind.

Not even a little kinky.

Kaplan: So you’re already done with Paper and you’re ready for something next. The average consumer spends a little bit of time with it. You have to remember as a core gamer you have an insatiable appetite. You, at all costs, probably don’t shower or eat until a game is done. You’re a freak. And then you want the next one. I think we’ve launched a lot.


Nintendo doesn't care about people who have played games before Nov 2006, confirmed.

The tactful thing to do in this situation is blame the post-launch drought and the fact that most game companies were completely caught off guard by the Wii's success, then cite examples of excellent 1st and 3rd party support which IS coming.

...NOT belittle your fans.

PR Gaffe indeed, but I don't believe in the drought AT ALL. There was none. I'm finally going to beat Godfather today. I've got so many things to do before I can even contemplate Super Paper Mario, which I haven't bought yet. And friggin hell people, SONIC! PLUS I don't have SSX yet, and I've completely missed the boat on Medal of Honor...

LOL, I love Kaplan interviews. Billy is like a bunch of scrub guards with machine guns blasting away at the hero in a bad action movie. She is just dancing around like nothing is going on.

BURN PERRIN, SHE'S A WITCH!

Whatever it takes to off her.  Seriously enough you think she worked for Sony sometimes.  Nintendo just needs to stop letting her talk.

Well, the average person isn't bitching about a Zelda timeline neither.  In a way I agree with the assesment.  Most gamers DO go through games like water these days.  Finish one cup, go to the other.  It's like a game these days is only as good as it lasts before one "beats" it.

Seriously, you guys have to rewatch the interview she did with Billy back in e3 06. She's just dancing CIRCLES around him, flirting, going off on tangents, being totally wild, and using all her jedi mind tricks to bedazzle him! It's awesome because he doesn't stand a chance!

What hit games would those be, GRAW2 and um what?  Lost Planet and Crackdown (which is quite debatable when you call it a good game) came out within 2 months of Christas, there has been NOTHING besides GRAW 2 to come out since March, April, May.

LOL. I think my patience is actually shrinking with her. As much as she's the type of person you don't want to see leave, some fresh PR blood will do them good with the upcoming office shuffle. It sounds like she is leaving, without saying it.

"Tell me by November." Indeed. Oh wait, you won't be there. I loved that deflection...

Q: There is a drought and core gamers are being left behind.

A: Talk to me in November, as the release of 3 particular games in the next 6 months will magically and retro-actively eliminate the drought you felt in the previous six.

Isn't that the point of a PR person?  You'll hear the same non-answers from someone new just like you would from Perrin.

Some PR are actually pretty good at giving a little and taking a little (Reggie's decent). She just deflects it all, without finesse.

She used to deflect questions without insulting the interviewee though.

I think you guys are taking her way too seriously, it was obvious she was joking. Not sure what you guys have against her, yes she has said some things that didn't turn out to be true, but she has never come across as a person that deserves to be insulted.

My problem with Perrin Kaplan is that she's not really good at her job. Her interviews are lame. At least when I read an interview with Reggie or even George Harrison, I often don't feel like I've completely wasted my time. Still, I suppose that's my fault because while I dislike her interviews, I continue to scan them in the off-chance that she'll actually say something noteworthy.
