PSM: Can we expect PS3 games to be priced in the same range as Xbox 360 titles?

KH: Generally Speaking, over the past twelve years or so, there has been a consumer expectation that disc-based games are maybe $59 on the high end to $39 on the low end. So, what I can say now is, I think it would be a bit of a stretch to think that we could suddenly turn around and say "PS3 Games now $99.99." I don't think consumers expect software pricing to suddenly double. So, the quick answer is that we want to make it as affordable as possible, knowing that there is a set consumer expectation for what software has cost for the past twelve years. That's kind of the best answer I can give you. So, if it becomes a bit higher than $59, don't ding me, but, again, I don't expect it to be $100.

Bon en même temps, Sony, comme MS, ils ont aucun contrôle sur les tiers à ce niveau T_T

Survey: PS3 Pricing Concerns Japanese Developers
Major consumer website IGN has reported that, according to survey results contained within the latest issue of Japanese magazine Ge-Maga, Japanese developers have certain misgivings concerning Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3 platform.

While the report noted that the survey was anonymous, both regarding the names and number of developers who participated, the results showed that an overwhelming 90.29 percent of those participants felt that PlayStation 3 is priced too high. Only 9.71 percent of those developers surveyed noted that the console was appropriately priced. The report noted one developer's response in particular, who said, "It's more expensive than my rent."

The survey also found that 56.31 percent of developers feel that Sony has made a mistake in offering two separate PlayStation 3 hardware SKUs, while just 39.32 indicated that they feel that Sony's choice was correct. "There are fears that confusion will develop amongst users and retailers," commented a developer regarding the multiple SKUs.

In addition, the report noted that 55.82 percent of Japanese developers surveyed indicated that they feel the PlayStation 3 will not sell with the currently announced software lineup, compared to the 39.32 percent that disagree and feel that that it will sell just fine.

The survey also found that some Japanese developers feel that Sony will have trouble meeting its previously announced sales goal for the PlayStation 3 of 6,000,000 units sold by March 2007. While 35.43 percent of those asked indicated that they believe Sony will reach this milestone, 62.13 percent believe that the company will fall short, with price, again, indicated as a factor in this outlook.

Finally, and perhaps least surprising, was information from the survey that indicated that just 3.39 percent of those surveyed were in any way relieved by Sony's announcements at E3 in May, while 32.52 percent came away from the show “ less confident in the platform.” The report noted that 48.54 percent were not wavered from their convictions prior to E3 by what Sony had to say.

il y a une rumeur sur une eventuelle verson de doa4 sur ps3

Rumeur qui va être vite démentie car Itagaki déteste le multi-support. Aucun des 5 jeux Team Ninja annoncés ne tournera sur une autre console que la 360.

Kikizo: I am guessing you're thinking seriously about PS3 stuff right now, what can we expect from you on the PS3 side of things?

Itagaki: Of course I am a developer and a programmer, and I am very curious about the PS3 architecture, so I am studying all about it. Last year I did not have enough information on it! But now I know enough about it, I think it's a pretty exciting time.
