The guy is 100% right to say what were all thinking. Its disgusting that they get away with it, and i did not not know about the Braid price increase (no wonder its considered the second coming of christ for that price), and people pay it bcoz they're gullible. Maybe thats the one saving grace of mainstream (eh casual...) consumers, theyre not that interested in paying so much money for game entertainment.
I feel sorry for sony bcoz after reading that i would prefer them rather than MS as competition next gen. Regardless it looks like third partys have caught on to MS ploys (eg. Ubi and Capcom) and will be applying the same rules on the primarily core component of the maket BCOZ WE WILL PAY FOR IT.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
