  N-Sider.com: David Gosen
Gosen made headlines with a controversial speech at the ELSPA Games Summit in London in June 2004, where he attacked Microsoft for attempting to bring the current console cycle to a premature end.
Gosen said that the mindset of a "five to six years is right, and come what may, we're going to stick to it" cycle is not how we should be approaching the industry.
Gosen said the UK price was in response to initial feedback from stockists and it was up to retailers to decide what to charge.

 GameSpy: Nintendo Europe Boss Blasts Microsoft
Gosen today blasted Microsoft for accelerating the next-generation of consoles (specifically Xbox 2) before the life cycle of current generation consoles are over in a "first-to-market" rush.
Gosen went on to heap coals on the head of the game media for aiding Microsoft in stirring the pot for new hardware, while ignoring games and hardware that many consumers are just now being introduced to (a good example being the Game Boy Advance which was introduced this week in China).
Finally Gosen believes that the next life cycle of next-generations will be longer and more profitable for the entire industry and that his company is better for having gone through several of these transitional periods wiser.

 GameSpy:
First, to David Gosen, managing director at Nintendo of Europe: It's probably not a good idea to publicly chastise others in the game industry about "artificially triggering a new generation" by bringing out new hardware … when your own company is starting to talk about its own new hardware.
According to some media outlets, Gosen went off about the industry, competitors, retailers and the media at the ELSPA Games Summit this past week.
It seems that, in his tirade, Gosen attacked Microsoft -- by inference, criticizing what one outlet quoted as "some manufacturer not profiting from the current cycle" -- for pushing the industry into the next console battle.
