    Peter Moore Says PS3 Pricing Sucks

    petermoore360.jpgPeter Moore, stooping over and making muscle man poses by flexing his 24 inch guns, has granted Computer & Video Games an exclusive interview in which he chokes the PS3 by its scrawny gobbling thorax and repeatedly slams its skull into the wall until it just spontaneously evaporates in a puff of vaporized hemoglobin.

    In particular, Moore seems pretty contemptuous of a pricing model that costs almost three hundred dollars more than the 360, but with no games on display that really make that price heft seem worth it. He also accused Sony of forcing Blu-Ray on gamers, artificially inflating the price with a new technology almost nobody was clamoring for.

    Asked whether or not the PS3 can catch-up with the 360 in the next-gen console battles, Moore remarked:

    The problem for Sony isn't this year. This year they're going to sell what they can deliver. The problem comes two years down the road when you have to catch up with a cost reduction curve when your competition is already there.

    Sony probably can reduce the price of Blu-Ray quite substantially over the next two years... but that doesn't make our wallets any happier now.
