Revolution’s USP Will Be…..Price
And you thought it would be the flashy motion-sensing controller that Nintendo unvelied a few weeks ago! Yes, Nintendo, having stripped out anything of interest from their forthcoming Revolution console, are having to convince the public that’s it’s worth buying on price-point alone.
In an interview with CNN, Nintendo America official, Reggie Fils-Aime said “Value has been a key card for us this generation and we’ll continue to play it. Do I expect us to be at a lower price point than our competition? Yes I do. Have we determined a price yet? No we haven’t.”
Quite frankly, it would be a bit of a shock if the Revolution wasn’t cheaper than the Xbox 360 or the PS3. It lacks HD support. “No problem,” claims Fils-Aime. “What we’ll offer in terms of gameplay and approachability will more than make up for the lack of HD.” All very well we say, but it would be nice to have both and Sony and Microsoft will have a damn good try.
