EA Reveals Wii Software Pricing?
Comments from the CFO lead to frantic online flapping.
Recently a number of web sites have reported that Electronic Arts plans to price its Nintendo Wii titles at or below $49.95 -- likely leaving many to cheer that software for the new console won't carry the heavy price tag of titles for other new systems.
Did EA so readily admit its pricing plans, however? When contacted, an EA spokesperson flatly described the report as "false," clarifying that the company has not yet decided on Wii software prices.
Where did the rumors come from, then? In an earnings conference call yesterday, Electronic Arts CFO Warren Jensen responded to a question about Wii pricing, referring to comments from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata: The only thing I heard is the CEO of Nintendo saying he could not imagine any of their titles being sold beyond $49.95.
In other words, though EA's pricing plans are still undetermined, $49.95 is hardly an unfamiliar number -- it's a price Nintendo has suggested all along. . |
