Don't Count Sony Out Yet
Eurogamer is hosting a GamesIndustry.biz article, an editorial that wants readers to make sure not to write Sony off yet. From the article: "Even if Sony is failing to endear itself to the media, to analysts or to gamers at the moment, that's no reason for the reality of the next generation console battle to be ignored. Judging from reports in the past fortnight, it would be easy for an outside observer to assume that it's all over already; the media paints a picture of Microsoft being victorious before the first shot is even fired, with Sony's overloaded battlecruiser set to sink before it even leaves port."
Even if, and thats a big if, if those prices were true, I still prefer to look at Nintendo's past of low prices. NES was $200. SNES was $200. N64 was $200. Gamecube was $200. I expect the Wii to be $200. Now, lets look and see which has a more desirable pricing past, hmm? I thought so...(not to mention that the only Nintendo games that cost more the $50 had an extra periperal with them e.g. Rumble Pack + Starfox 64; Bongos + Donkey Konga; etc...)
