Sony's press conference yesterday revealed the price point of the PS3 ($499 for the stripped-down version; $599 for the high-end). Beyond the sticker shock, the other big shock was the controllers' inclusion of Wii-style movement tracking.
Perhaps most shocking was Sony's arrogance. SCEA president Kaz Hirai's comment that "The next generation doesn't start until we say it does" reveals a contempt for his competition which would be admirable, except that it's foolish.
Original Comment by: cibbuano http://moviecritic.com.au I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is the death rattle for Sony... last year they showed themselves to be inconsiderate of the consumer. DRM scandal, PS3 delay, being a bitch over Blu-ray, etc...
