Sony considered $80 games, before deciding on $70

[Legend]

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

At one point, Sony discussed going even higher before settling on $70.

$70 I think there might be exceptional cases where I would go for it.   But I think $80 would have had me waiting for games extensively.

point?  

every company considers lots of things.  it is basically a mandatory exercise to consider multiple possible outcomes before making a decision. I'm certain they also considered keeping $60 as well.

Seems like everything Bloomberg is saying about Sony right now is wrong.

There is no point to that thread other than to rile people up and get them pissed at Jim Ryan, so clearly it's going to get to 20+ pages.
