Hideo Kojima Surprised by PS4s “Cheap” Price, Talks About Comparison with Xbox One

[HNIC973]

Many gamers around the world were surprised by the price point of the PS4. Looks like Hideo Kojima was taken by surprise as well by Sony’s unveiling, as he stated in an interview on the Japanese gaming website Game Watch about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

The PS4 is cheaper than I thought.

He went more in depth on the issue as part of a separate interview on 4Gamer, in which he also talked about the difference in power between the two consoles.

The difference is small, and I don’t really need to worry about it. When you come right down to it, the PS4 is cheap (laughs). Though, I wonder about the inclusion of the camera…

When asked about what he thought of the camera-related feature he gave his vision for the future.

Considering that the camera is so widespread in smartphones and tablets, I think it’ll build up to be the norm.

While it’s hard not to agree on the price of the PS4, I do wonder if camera-based gameplay will really become the norm (Kojima isn’t new to rather farfetched predictions, like the one about the disappearance of home consoles). How do you feel about it?

"Perhaps they are on the payroll"

"Still scratching my head about Kojima's shift to Microsoft"

"He's looking for a way to burn the MGS series to the ground so he can do something else with his time."

"Can't believe he's being money-hatted to downplay the PS4 power! Unbelievable the length Microsoft is willing to go to shut people up about this discrepancy"

"This worries me because it seems like Kojima won't even try to max out MGS5, otherwise he would definitely care about the power difference.

You've changed Kojima, you've changed big time"

"Kojima's on the payroll obviously"

"BIASED! KOJIMA BIASED!
After the Phantom Pain in the Microsoft conference I cant believe in Kojima, not anymore"

I felt as if this wasn't really worthy of creating a new thread so i added it to the Ps4 thread before this one was made.

When Microsoft brought Kojima out to start off their press conference it was obvious he is now on their payroll and is being used to market xbox Dung to japan.

Last gen he said PS3 was like a Thanksgiving feast and Xbox was like a good meal. Now hes saying theres little difference when all the specs say otherwise. O Kojima.

Kojima is surely salty with Sony for some reason. There was a quote where he said he hadn't watched the Sony reveal but based on what he had heard, it was "nothing special". Then he reveals MGS on stage with Microsoft. He has certainly changed
