Sony Exec: PS4 Price Will Appeal to Consumers "In the Broadest Sense"

Edge did an interview with Michael Denny who is a VP from Sony's Worldwide Studios.
Full interview about the PS4 here.
You'd have to think this means a price tag of $400-450.

What lessons have you learned from the PS3 price? Will PS4 launch with a more competitive price point?
There’s plenty of time, we’ve got lots of information yet to give out on PlayStation 4. The initial announcement phase that we’re in now is just to explain the vision to everybody. Part of that vision is we have created a console absolutely focused on gamers – and we want that to be gamers in the broadest sense as well. I think to some extent I can ask you to draw your own conclusions.

$399 most likely, been the rumor since about November and everything since hints that's what it will be.

Will probably be 399 for the base and 499 for the "upgraded with goodies" package.
I havent had anything Sony since a PS2, but with all of the recent things coming out, I might be leaning PS4. Xbox really needs to up their game.

Sounds like they're trying to differentiate themselves from the xbox rumors about it being a home entertainment center first and game player second.

Meaning not just hardcore gamers. Sounds like they want to do a lot more casual stuff and make more use of the Move.

PS1 was $299.
PS2 was $299.
Both systems thrived from day 1.
PS3 was $499 and $599. Really struggled until the $299 drop.
Make it $299!

In a roundtable conversation with journalists, President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios noted that PS3 games of both the retail and downloadable variety will not be compatible with PlayStation 4, at least not natively. In other words, your PS3 discs won’t work in the new console nor will the games you downloaded.
Maybe in price, but it doesn't appeal to consumers in "the broadest sense".

i will purchase the PS4 if it has the following
Free online gaming
blu-ray player
netflix
hulu
youtube
HBO GO
ESPN 360
Pandora
Ability to connect my 3 TB external Harddrive with movies to it and play them without having to convert them to a different format.
anything beyond that is just a bonus.
