Jeff Minter on Sony's Arrogance

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the anger-from-the-edge dept.

Regular Edge columnist Jeff Minter has lashed out at Sony over what he perceives as incredible arrogance on the console-maker's part. From the BBC article: "Mr Minter, writing in his regular column for Edge, said: 'They seem absolutely certain that even when they say it's going to be considerably more expensive than existing consoles... nevertheless us eager customers will rush out in droves to buy it because it's, hey, a new PlayStation.'"

    Well, ofcourse we will rush right out. Even if several people are saying "Wii" or "360" because of the price, there are still millions saying "PS3! PS3!"

    And of the argument of "it costs $600 and only plays games": How many people spend $1,500 or more on a gaming rig? Sure, it does other things than just games. But if a person spends $600 on a PS3, they have have $900 to buy a computer to do those "other things".

    Apple also knows that people will buy a $5000 Macintosh system with all the features and software for video editing, even if that low-end PC with lower quality hardware can also edit video with an el-cheapo video capture card for less than $1000.

    This is an article for Sony trolls. There'll be an Apple troll article along in a few minutes.
