PSMove Price

[manasecret]

Again, this would be the Canadian price. According to Amazon, the Wiimote (for example) is $5-$10 more in Canada.

For a single PSMove remote, that puts the price at about $50 USD. It's certainly not undercutting the Wii, but it's perfectly competitive. It's also the launch price, which may quickly come down.

Now, do I think the PSMove would fly off the shelves in Wii numbers at this price? No. But it won't be because of the price, it'll be because it's a late generation peripheral being sold to crowd who either didn't buy into the motion-gaming in the first place and bought a PS3 instead, or to the crowd that has both the PS3 and Wii already. Neither one of which is going to rush out in large numbers to buy a late-generation peripheral.

The price is secondary. If this had launched right aside the Wii, the difference in price would be small enough to be moot.
