Again good interview, especially the part where he goes ranting "yeah MS is like THE ONLY company thats going to bring INNOVATION back to JAPAN" and then you bring up Nintendo and he goes back to his Soviet-like "tell crap that says nothing" routine and brings up Square-Enix...what the hell.

And no pricepoint :'(

Plus the fact he couldn't commit to the price being under £500, so you never know it could be more than PS3 (oh lord, im talking crap again!)

I think 360 will be under the price of ps3 - without question. Sony is banking on people HAVING to buy its new machine. And I think it might just backfire...

I think one of the reasons hes not willing to confirm the price point is the possibility of multiple configurations, which they might not have made up their minds on, or have reliable cost information on. Maybe keeping Sony in the dark a little longer is more important to them than satisfying your hostile curiosity...

I also see a lot of what you interpret as corporate BS (which it certainly might be) a little differently, this isn't just anyone we're talking about, MS has shown it has the wherewithal to make good on its threats. And it was a threat, a threat that MS wasn't going to let Nintendo have the title of "the Innovative one" or abandon Japan as a lost cause. MS intends to establish and maintain a presence in the Japanese market, period. Certainly NOT Communist style nothingspeak.
