... wtf...

I wonder if he realizes that SONY just cut the PS3's price by $100 US in September and Nintendo cut the price of the Wii by $50 in November. Rapid pricedrops are as bad as no pricedrops for systems as everyone decides "ohh ill just wait 2-3 months until the next price drop".

(Also i wonder how Acti-Blizzard would of looked with its $1.23 billion in revenue(mostly profit) from wow...)

Activision complaining about console prices again...wtf? We had price cuts not too long ago...

I didn't know that. LOL!! 

Pretty obvious...

Im sure all the 3rd party publishers would lie to see the consoles given away for free.

I still don't know how they managed to spend what I've seen quoted as $50 M on MW2.  It's the same engine so far as I can see give or take the odd tweak.  MW2 just felt like a new set of SP maps (and a fairly small one at that) coupled with some new MP maps and some new MP perks.

I'm just flabbergasted that to deliver MW2 took more than games like Gears of War 2 or Uncharted 2 and delivered so much less that was either new content or clear and obvious improvements to the underlying engine.

I can only assume some extra-development 'perks' crept onto the balance books.  Either that or IW gave everyone in the development team major salary rises.

Yes, and I do understand that most business people like to call for things which favor them, of course.

But in the context of recent price cuts, and having said the same not long ago, it's ridiculous to come up with this crap now.

jack tretton needs to talk some shit like nao.

'Cut the Console-Prices to sell MW2!.. err.. i mean Consoles!'

Activision should make a console and see how "easy" the hardware business is...really, they´re once again trying to display their 'strenght'...usually I don´t wish to see companies fail, but I´m gonna make an exception this time :P

They really deserve a collective "fuck you".

Assholes...
