Got this on games industry biz.

I thought it was a interesting analysis.

Worth a look anyway.

Price is mentioned again.

Heres a bit of what he said.

Dave Perry, CCO of Acclaim, has warned that Sony needs to develop new business models to combat competition from Nintendo and Microsoft or face "an incredibly tough time"

"Regardless of the position Sony is in right now, I think the lessons are all learned and they have great hardware," commented Perry. "I'm also very encouraged to see them open the digital distribution store for PSP."

"I guess that's the point, the PS3 hardware is there," he explained, "and there are plenty of opportunities for Sony to disrupt in other ways, via new business models. If they stick with status quo, it's going to be an incredibly tough time for them. Microsoft is ahead with their online strategy and Nintendo is ahead with sales."

"Besides great games, I think the lessons learned are that price and accessibility are key. So what are Sony doing about that every day now, and what new business models will they introduce on PS3? They are rapidly running out of time to make these decisions."

Yes, accessibility is a key, and that is why every user, regardless of anything, has an access of PSN, whilst it is way harder to access XBL.

I don't think you can go and say how superior XBL is to PSN nowadays, it is no more like two or three years ago. This year PSN had much more higher rated PSN games than XBL, and for playing, we all now that most PS3 games use dedicted servers while XBL uses P2P.

I am in no way say that PSN is superior, but they are almost even, and as everyone knows, Home is coming, LBP is coming, PSP/PS3 connectivity is also a good feature, and without a doubt, it is way over it's time.

By the way, what is the last game Acclaim published? I haven't seen any game from them in years, so why advising Sony when your business model is not that good?

I think the price is affecting them most.

Good features but too dear.
