Japanese Xbox360 Boss Says PS3 Is Too Expensive (doh!?)
Microsoft Xbox360′s Japanese general manager Takahashi Sensui claims Sony’s PlayStation 3 is too expensive for Japanese gamers. He said it would not offer a better gaming experience than the Xbox360, but will cost a lot more. The basic PS3 model will sell for 62790 yen, or $550. We already know that the PS3 is very expensive and isn’t that much better than the 360.
However, how much can an Xbox360 Japanese boss predict about the PS3, when his own console was outsold by the GameCube in 2006? Microsoft is completely out of the next-gen war in Japan, and they have partially acknowledged that fact.
Whether the PS3 is going to sell will soon be known, what is certain now is that the 360 is not selling in Japan, no matter how much PR MS throws out.
