E3 2011: Nintendo “Not Too Concerned” Over PS Vita $249 Price Point
In an interview with Gamasutra, Nintendo’s Charlie Scibetta explained the with the game library of the 3DS, Nintendo is not concerned with the PS Vita matching its $249 price point.
“I think if you give people enough reasons to buy, eventually they will. We’re not too concerned about the long term viability of the platform.”
“If we give them good enough content,” Scibetta said, “they’ll keep coming back to the games, and we’ve got the experiences that will appeal.”
Scibetta futher explains how Nintendo doesn’t react and change strategy to react to competitors
“We certainly wouldn’t change our strategy or our approach based on what a competitor is doing.” The company will “continue to innovate… and encourage our third party developers to take advantage of the system.”
Interesting to see Nintendo’s perspective, although it’s hard to believe that any company would not adapt/react to its competitors.
