Sony complains that the wii is too expensive =O

As quoted,

Quote: Sony Executive Michael Ephraim
"Even though it's affordable, at AUD $400 (EUR 237) plus whatever you need to buy accessories-wise, I'm guessing you need to spend about AUD $500 (EUR 296) to take home a Wii and enjoy it."

"For this Christmas, I think that price point is still not family entertainment because AUD $500 is a lot to fork out, but we welcome the Nintendo heritage of gaming where they can appeal to a broader audience because long-term that is critical for the industry," he said.

And don't forget THIS LINE!

Quote: the hypocrite
the PlayStation 3, which will retail at AUD $830 (EUR 492) and AUD $999 (EUR 592)

If the Wii is too expensive… then the PS3 must mean death to a family's pocketbook.

-Kenon

P.S. Read ACCURATELY, it really means that they think the wii is for families, and it would be "Too expensive for families". Read wrong results in hypocracy.

What he was really saying was that $500 is alot of money in most peoples book- not to mention the rest of the consoles which are even more expensive, therefore this generation isn't about price, but about the console.
