The PS3 is a high-end media device, which means it is not going to match its lower-cost competitors in terms of software unit sales until it hits that magic $299/299EUR price point. When that happens, we'll have a fairer comparison. Investing in IP is much more complicated, though, than simply paying a studio to create stuff. One Sony does very, very well, but receives almost no credit for, is strategic depth: its game division understands that videogames are tightly connected with all the other media (film, TV, music, theater, performance, animation, you name it). As such, they have to give back to the media forms they borrow from, and be willing to learn from other media. Insomniac didn't just create another shooter with Resistance, they created an entire game-world, along with characters worth caring about, back stories, video clips, comic books, etc. That's a model for all developers and other media artists to aspire to. |
$299/299Eur is not a magic price point.. i think its below 250 that one get to the magic price point...
Definitely sales will increase at $299/299Euro..
