The bang WILL be worth the buck: Florin talks about the PS3’s price tag
Sony‘s shiny, sleek black console should pay for itself in two years’ time, Electronic Arts‘ head honcho Gerhard Florin reassured players in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz.
“Look at the price in two years’ time, and then you can say whether it’s too high,” says Florin.
“Whether it’s too high or not the consumer has to decide, but I don’t think for the first year the price will be a problem which holds anything back.”
It’s just not the PS3 that EA’s keeping a watchful eye on, though. “I wouldn’t make any judgements within the next two years,” the EA boss comments. “The first two years will clearly be an open race, everybody will do very well. I believe all three [consoles] are worth supporting in different ways.”
When asked about EA’s future strategy regarding support for all three contenders, Florin had this to say:
“Something like Harry Potter is a very clear candidate to lead on the Wii. Shooters like Medal of Honor, Black, we will clearly concentrate on PlayStation 3 because we need Cell processor power. Then we’ve got more strategic, online-orientated games that we concentrate more on 360. “
