Sony has recently been under a lot of fire for its tactics with the PS3: high price and the inclusion of Blu-ray technology. However, the company is not without its supporters - Midway boss David Zucker, in a video interview to Eurogamer, has reinforced his support for the company, dismissing fears that the high price tag on the PS3 will discourage potential buyers.
“There’s a lot in the PlayStation 3; think about the fact that you get Blu-ray, the next-generational leap in DVD - you get a Blu-ray player in the machine,” he said, adding that the price of the console will lower through its life cycle. When asked about the important of next-gen DVDs, he said: “…if PlayStation 3 is huge, the gamer helping to drive that, that’s going to have a big impact in helping Blu-ray DVD technology. It’s going to work both ways.”
The rest of the interview has Zucker talking about the “dramatic turnaround in product quality” Midway has achieved, the company’s global ambitions and other related topics.
