Ken Kutaragi's latest insane-as-**** comment

[MH_prophet]

"The PS3 can't be offered at a price that's targeted towards households"

WTF!?!? Is it intended for military use maybe?

[Grindstone]

Where'd you get that from? I've heard that elsewhere, we should validate a source.

Military usage, eh? For target practice? I don't get it.

[MH_prophet]

lol,the military part is a joke. And I got it from IGN's latest mail bag. http://cube.ign.com/mail (it's in the last letter)

[Justin Buser]

Very odd indeed!

Its gonna be the most expensive of the 3 next gen consoles - we know that much

[korphaeron]

I can see a £400 release coming on...

[Father Campfire]

they couldn't do away the forman grill inbuilt to it.

[Grumpy Old Fart]

I still haven't stopped laughing at this comment by Kutaragi regarding the PS3...

"Our ideal [situation] is for consumers to think to themselves, 'OK, I'll work more hours and buy it, We want people to feel that they want it, no matter what."

never going to happen

[Liquids]

I came across this TeamXbox thread, which originally came from this IGN page (insiders only ), claiming that the 360 will cost between $300-$400, but a Sony rep had said the PS3 could go for up to $1000!

[Real Maximo]

They said the same about the ps2 and the military as well as it was that powerfull lol sure Sony sure

[Father Campfire]

a $1000 no thanks as much as i don't like sony, some how i don't think they will even be willing to sell the ps3 at that high a price. not many people would pay that price for what is an over glorified game's console. Me thinks sony has bitten of more than they can chew this time.

[Mr.Combine]

ROFL they actually said that!? Screw you Sony I will purchase the Xbox 360 cheaper, BETTER, and way more gangsta.

LMAO!!!

[bxgladiator]

Lmfao if its not targeted towards household who they trying to sell it to?

[Liam]

IMO that whole "We want people to work harder" statement was just them trying to justify there extortionate prices.

As for the it can’t be offered to a household; that’s just dumb, it's a video game console which is a house hold product.

Then again for a console/grill /toaster/Hoover attachment/spaceship combo it's a good price *end sarcasm*

You are forgetting about the kettle feature

[Liquids]

And the scenic building feature...

[Dawn]

I suppose what they mean is that its not aimed at people with a large family, where possibly more than one console is required, and the kids will want it. Its more aimed at the young working professional, who will be able to afford it and will only need one in the house.

Why am I trying to defend Sony anyway. Madness.

The sorry thing is that Sony has such a loyal fanbase that it will sell well, to all corners of the market I expect. Hopefully it will lose some of its following with the strong competition from the 360 and the (hopefully) revolutionary Revolution.

[Jeet]

i heard that they are trying to hype the ps3, and that it would actually only be like $100 more than the xbox core system, but then again i could be wrong

[Agent X]

400 dollars for the PS3 that's a good one. You should be a comedian. 500 at the very least 700 bundles and 70.00 games and 60 dollar boomerang controllers beatch. No offense to you Jeet, just trying to show you the PS3 is obviously for rich people.
