The relatively low cost of PlayStation 4 is a sign that Sony is treating the next generation with the utmost seriousness, Level-5 president Akihiro Hino told Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu.
Level-5 is the Japanese studio behind Professor Layton, Ni no Kuni and Inazuma Eleven.
“The number-one surprise for me was the PS4’s price,” said Hino. “I think anyone can look at that and think ‘This is cheap!’ Putting cutting-edge PC specs into a game machine that costs just a few hundred dollars really brings across how serious SCE is about this generation.
“I think the Xbox One is pretty cheap considering what you get with it as well, but with this PS4 price point, they’ll have to do something to oppose that.”
Hino concluded: “I can’t wait for the next generation to really spread out into households.”
PS4 and Xbox One launch this holiday season.
