Microsoft defends Kinect pricing
Big M exec says Kinect's high price reflects its innovative tech.
Microsoft has sent out its big guns to defend the £129 price tag slapped on its Kinect motion-control system yesterday. The gaming giant’s Chris Lewis, who looks after its Interactive Entertainment Business group in Europe, said the add-on was, “good value,” claiming it was “innovative and not derivative,” in a swipe at Sony’s PS3 Move.
Speaking to Gamesindustry.biz, Lewis said, “"From our point of view, [Kinect Adventures] plus the technology and what that means to the consumer by way of experience - and the innovation it represents - we're confident that it's great value.”
