*For those that scoff at the $400 price tag of the Xbox 360 (one chatter
summed it up simply by saying "Feels steep"), Allard defends the price.
"It was worth noting that the PS2 launched at $368 (in Japan) with no
hard drive, no online service, no [memory unit], no wireless
[controller], no voice [via the included headset], no network adapter,
no remote, and only support for two controllers. That's not the reason
we priced the system this way, but it does provide a comparative frame
of reference for what you are getting."*
He just forgot to mention the PS2 came with an enhanced PS1 and a free
DVD player. No biggie... fry.
It was the cheapest DVD player in Japan at the time.
