And it's easy to s…

"I said, 'Hey, bro, you know, it's all fun and games!". One of my favourite anecdotes about the Game Boy (and one I sincerely hope is actually true) is that when a senior Sony executive spotted it, they berated their engineers and claimed it should have been a Sony product, given the company's success with the Walkman and Discman.
