Sony has taken a kicking at the E3 games trade show, mainly over the high price of the PS3, and Microsoft's games boss added a knife yesterday. As a Reuters story reports:
"Tell me why you would buy a $600 PS3?" Peter Moore, a Microsoft vice president, said in an interview. "People are going to buy two (machines). They're going to buy an Xbox and they're going to buy a Wii ... for the price of one PS3."
"People will always gravitate toward a competitively priced product -- like what I believe Wii will be -- with innovative new designs and great intellectual property like Mario, Zelda and Metroid."
Nintendo has not put a price on the Revolution/Wii, but it could cost around $200 and -- since it's very similar to the GameCube -- $150 is feasible, if unlikely.
