Microsoft and Nintendo against Sony
May 11th, 2006 Posted in Business, Hardware, Technology, Wii, Xbox 360
Microsoft has sided with Nintendo in the next-gen battle, and they are planning to win over Sony. Accorind to Microsoft, the PS3 is simply too expensive to compete.
“Tell me why you would buy a $600 PS3?” said Peter Moore in an interview.
“People are going to buy two (machines.) They’re going to buy an Xbox and they’re going to buy a Wii … for the price of one PS3.”
Microsoft said that they will have a comfortable lead by 10 million Xbox360 consoles sold by the time the PS3 is out. The cheap Wii will definelty appeal as a second console for many Xbox360 and PS3 users alike.

I have bought an Xbox360, and will also be getting a ps3 when it comes out even though its price. I still think that the 360 will be a better console, despite the comments of some game testers. They just think that ps3 will be better because 360 is now “old” compared to PS3 and perhaps they are just anticipating the ps3 so much that they might just be a little bit disappointed.
