A) "There's no one clear competitor in terms of what NGP offers," Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Computer Entertainment worldwide studios, told Eurogamer in an interview. B)But Yoshida said Sony and Nintendo had a common enemy: the cheap mobile game. C)"We are dealing with the same issue that Nintendo is. It's up to content publishers, including ourselves, to show people that this is worth £25 or £30 as opposed to 59p. D)"You cannot release the same content that you put on the iPhone for a dollar on to NGP or some other consoles and expect people to pay 20 times that." |
A) Pretty true. NGP should be a portable powerhouse. I can't even see devices larger than it producing bettter graphics(other than dedicated home consoles). At least not until ipad 3 or 4. It's also got more methods of input than those devices to boot. The only worry for me is B,C,&D.
B)Brain Training was a cheap mobile game and I don't think it's anyones enemy. The same could be said of Nintendogs and look at the success they catapulted the DS to. Angry Birds, Tiny Wings, Cut the Rope... again and again consumers show they love this type of content and Sony viewing this type of content as an enemy does have me scared.
C)Very true though I don't think they should be selling portable games for 30 Euros. 9.99to 29.99 dollars should be the limit as far as I'm concerned.
D)Does this mean price parity with iOS? I most certainly hope so. If that is the case irrespective of their fear of such content they should be able to get it on the platform which will be a boon to them and many games probably greatly improved by buttons. Somehow the previous comments don't quite lead me to believe that though...
