Speaking to The Age, Sony Computer Entertainment Australia managing director Michael Ephraim slams the pricing structure of Nintendo and Microsoft for their respective next-gen consoles.
Describing Nintendo's Wii as "a bit pricey," Ephraim theorizes that gamers would need to spend over $350 US to "take home a Wii and enjoy it." Ephraim explains that Sony has "great respect for" Nintendo's long-term strategy, but that "for this Christmas, I think that price point is still not family entertainment."

agreed... because unlike a teenager, they'll want every other toy in the store and parents won't go for that. We'll be happy with a console and 3 games.

I don't understand his point. Whoopy it might cost $350 to take home but that's still nearly half the ps3's price.. Or is he trying to compare a new revolutionary console to a soon to be replaced upgrade?

Exactly. Don't be stereotypical.
I think that Sony is comparing the prices of the wii and the 360 with what they think it's worth. There has already been discussion about how the wii's graphics aren't that good. I think Sony was just saying 'Their prices suck because the product isn't worth it. The PS3 on the other hand, give you what you paid for. Every dollar every penny.'

Sony keeps giving me reasons to hate em. Personally, I don't think the Wii is a "kid's toy" at all. Granted some of it's games may not be as mature as PS3's or 360's, but does that mean it's for little kids? I'm getting the Wii because of its titles and price- which Sony is crazy to say is expensive compared to their 600 dollar monster. If you're more into shooters and more mature games, get a PS3. If you like games like Zelda and Mario get a Wii. Doesn't mean one's for big people and ones for kids lol. And I'm sick of all the talk of Wii's graphics sucking.
Wii Gameplay:

Granted it's no PS3 or 360, but the graphics are far from sucking. (BTW that game is Red Steel)
PLUS, Wii has about 1 mil. systems for US launch while PS3 has about 400,000. PLUSSS XD based on web polls on several sites, people are expecting the most out of the Wii, then the PS3, and lastly the 360. Sony, yo *** has been served. Ehhh not really... but just saying.

That's funny. Seems like PS3 isn't familiy oriented at all, since they say the Wii's too pricey, and taking in consideration that the PS3 is 2X the price of the Wii.
Is Sony limiting the PS3 to a few audiences only? Hmm, makes you wonder.

PS3 is for those hardcore, extreme graphics lovin, gamers.

Can't say Sony didn't piss me off with what they said. Especially seeing as the Wii and the PS3 were what I was looking forward to. Now it's cut down to just the Wii.

Attila, you can pay the 800$ for the graphics card that would be equal to the graphic on a ps3 but, no, ok? You could also buy a ps3 and save money and also have the amazing everything else. The graphics part of hardware is not the most powerful on the ps3.
Also the HDMI on the 600$ ps3 has been ported to the 500$ ps3 and the 500$ ps3 has been lowered in price to the 450$ ps3. I'm not to sure about Japan not getting into the ps3.

Didn't I tell you that the prices stick on exclusives? Like some of the PS2 games (GuitaroMan) You will end up with a few games around $80. GameStop doesn't know everything, and damn near most of the games have no release information. Get it straight.
And yeah, seen some stuff at the TGS that really demonstrated Japan's backing behind Nintendo. Like illongated lines at Wii booths and the confirmation of the price, against the PS3 price.

ahhh the o mighty and wise sony speaks again, ok the wii may be a kids toy..."so they say more of a family and casual thing" but ps3 is just gonna be more expesive period no ways around it, ok lets look at it this way so u buy ur Wii, games, extra controllers, and if u dont have wireless internet the extra hook up u need to use ethernet cords may run u at most probably 700$ so u say ya Sony has a good deal only 600$ with all it comes with, WRONG u gotta remember u havta buy there games so 60 bucks each and u cant get used ps3 games and u cant rent em...u cant even take ur games to a friends house. so ur loseing 60$ regardless if u wanna play any ps3 games atleast with the 360 or Wii u can rent games or buy used, so u better like what u buy or else well ur screwd...

Roffles. Yes, because some people want to pay 60$ for Chrono Trigger. Their gonna be re-releasing alot of really good games that are really hard to find/buy now. Before you go off ranting about roms, not everyone really wants to use them. To be honest, I'd much rather play through Chrono Trigger again than play Assassins Creed or MGS4, since I'd be paying about 300$ less for great gameplay.

The only reason that Nintendo is featuring this is because they're trying to get older gamers to relive their past and also give younger generations insight as to what gaming was like way back then. Nintendo is probably one of the most creative companies out there. Seriously, look at Sony. They've had the Playstation. Then came the Playstation 2, same thing, but they can do better next time right? Well, what's this? Playstation 3? So they think they can just release the same thing over and over again? I'm not trying to flame any PS3 fans here, I myself will buy one in the future, but can't Sony do better than the same thing every single time? I mean, yeah, new built in features and Bluray, but it still looks the freakin same and is name the same freakin thing since Sony started making consoles!
And for your information Ramstien, it's different companies that make the games. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft just accept them to be made onto their consoles. Granted each company has their own copyrights (like Zelda and Mario), but they request those games to be made onto their consoles and they have no consent of what goes into the games.

Most people assume that Nitendo is a 'kids' game due to the fact that a lot of the games have 'cute' graphics (Mario/Zelda: Windwaker/Sonic/etc).. But like you said, its not true. Just because something has cute-ish graphics doesn't mean that it's for a child. I mean, look at 'Conker: Live and Reloaded' from xbox. That has 'kiddie-graphics', but it isn't a kids game.

AGAIN, you go offtopic without posting anything relevant to this topic. Stop that and either make a new topic about this, or PM Manic and discuss it with him.
Most people assume that Nitendo is a 'kids' game due to the fact that a lot of the games have 'cute' graphics (Mario/Zelda: Windwaker/Sonic/etc).. But like you said, its not true. Just because something has cute-ish graphics doesn't mean that it's for a child. I mean, look at 'Conker: Live and Reloaded' from xbox. That has 'kiddie-graphics', but it isn't a kids game.
I agree with you somewhat, but I think the whole "kiddy graphics=kiddy game" thing spawned from the earlier titles on the Gamecube. Like Viewtiful Joe and Billy Hatcher.
RE4. Yeah, played it when my 2 year old nephew was watching, blew a guy's head off, and he ran up to my aunt and jumped into her lap. xd Anyway, truth is, a lot of people really think the gamecube has little to no M games on it. You're wrong, this only counts America. They've forgotten about Japan and it's oh-so adult-like ways. You can't get any more graphic than posting an ad for a dildo on a building. =/
That's Japan for ya. :p But assuming that Nintendo is a kiddy company is ignorant. What if I said that the Sony was only for rich people? Would only rich people buy it? No, that's because it's not true. Assumptions are really just a cleverly disguised lie!

Actually, VJ was barely kiddy. It's teen-ish.

Well the rules do apply to them, since they gotta enforce it. But, they get it easy, and its not put hard on them, like us.
Has anyone ever told you that you have the amazing ability to be extremely anal about the most petty and rediculous things? Lord help us, "corrpution" on a video game forum, this must be the end of the world. Lighten up, no one likes a back-seat driver.
Those seem to be the same as my posts. Either you really hate me, or you really like them. I'll go with the first one.
ON TOPIC (Happy?):

Wrong. An assumption is a supposition. An assumption is something you take for granted. An assumption is NOT a cleverly disguised lie. You may have said that as a joke, but I like to annoy.
The Wii has better graphics then most of you think. Don't make assumptions (no, not cleverly disguised lies) just by looking at some silly low definition pictures you saw at a random forum.
When Nintendo finally releases it's new-gen console, you will get to acknowledge it's true potential. Then, and only then.

Exactly.....For $600 I can buy one of the top graphic cards....I can make the games look 10 times better than ps3.
But the ps3 is a completely different system from the PC. Sure you could get one peice for your computer, but you could also get a whole new system instead. And the most games for the ps3 wont be on the PC. The ps3 will be revolutionary and instead you would want to get a graphics card? XO

Actually, that was sarcasm. Inside joke, really, but I guess it wasn't neccessary. :p

Just as you are, I am for the Wii. There are some things I would like to know though, that I haven't really had time to look into. >_> Guess I'll go do that now...

$600 the way i would spend it: $129 Electric Guitar, and decent $150 amp, and maybe a Wii or an Ipod.....
So Sony can suck one for all i care....

I think saying you are going to buy an Ipod say a lot about you and your money spending skills. o.0

The Ipod thing was a joke, i dont listen to music that much, ill probably save the money for like, maybe, guitar lessons if i need em, but besides that, Sony can still suck one....>:(

Sony is one of the best compaies out there now! how can you say it is bad, it make all types of technology and other things like that. With the seeling of ps3, who knows how much farther they will go? Sony-as far as I know- is only going up.

^Typical fan talk. Like I said, Nintendo is owning Japan right now. If SONY does nothing (besides lowering the stupid price), then they'll lose Japn, and that'll be one less console in the race. Do you have any idea how much money SONY has cost some of the designers they signed exclusively? Yeah, in the long run, that will hurt. So if anything, even though they're putting up a strong 500,000 ton front, you can tell they're wounded. But then again, it's SONY, they'll probably pull something out of their asshat.

^That's just being biased now. Maybe we should stop talking about the consoles until they actually come out. So let these topics die until then, it's only a month away.

Ps3 comes out in a month? I thought it was just the Wii....or is that what you meant?

The basis of these topics are about video games, and we should discuss the highs and lows of all so we can gets a better understanding about that next generation systems. Dropping the topic would be fairly unnessisary. But When they do come out, we should talk more about them. :3

PS3 will be released November 11th in Japan, November 17th in the US.
Wii will be released November 19th in the US, and December 2nd in Japan.
Of course this is according to Wikipedia, it's accuracy is somewhat credible.
