When did I say it was a negative thing for the consumer? In fact I think I positioned it as a postive thing they did in pricing their product. However, as a shareholder or Sony exec its pretty bad business and easily toppled by Nintendo who has a very comparable product that should be fully capable to be reduced to below $200 by the time PSV launches, therefore making the price a much more important feature for Nintendo. Sony should try to think of a price consumers will want and then put the tech that comes close to that price. Instead they seem to put in tons of tech and then try to figure out how much they are willing to lose. PS3 is still losing to 360 solely for this reason. Had they cut back on many interal parts from the get go, they could have been more competitive out the gate. In PSV's case, Nintendo started high so Sony is not doing as bad out the gate. However, pricing still favors Nintendo in the long run as they have a margin to play with. Sony should have stayed lower costs and continued with better game divergence along with many of the other great features on it, like PS3 connectivity, etc. Personally I woudl have also ditched the backside touch panel as I don't see it becoming highly useful in the greater majority of games. |
@ bold.......read the rest of you post. you didn't say it, you implied it and then explained it in detail in the reat of your post, doesn't get much contradictory than that
