Nintendo is fighting back, and Reggie Fils-Aime, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Nintendo America, has done an interview with CNet. The content is entirely predictable, but Fils-Aime does confirm the Revolution games console's launch date ("We've said 2006") and that it "will cost less than $300".
Since developers have been speculating that it would cost less than $150 or perhaps even $99, this isn't stunning news. However, Fils-Aime does get Nintendo's key argument across:
The mythical performance vector for this industry is more processing power and prettier pictures, but what's really driven growth is actually improving the way consumers play and get into the game. It's what we've successfully done with the Nintendo DS and what we're committed to doing with the Revolution and the controller we've unveiled for Revolution.
