Activision: DJ Hero isn’t priced too high, it’s a “tremendous value”

July 5th, 2009

“We don’t comment on our product pricing strategies… However, we believe that DJ Hero will provide tremendous value for our consumers by delivering an all-new interactive music experience with over 100 individual songs that are highlighted in over 80 unique mixes, a wide variety of music from some of the biggest artists including Jay-Z, Eminem, Benny Benassi, Gwen Stefani and Black Eyed Peas among others.” – Activision statement

I have a feeling that DJ Hero won’t stay at it’s $120 / £108 price point for very long after it’s release, despite the fact that it will provide “tremendous value”.

Activision thinking about sports titles

July 3rd, 2009

“[The sports category] certainly has the characteristics of a category that would be interesting to us… But we would have to convince ourselves that we could enter successfully, accomplish leadership and that we’d have something new and different to bring to the party. Right now the barriers to entry there are pretty significant, but it is certainly the size of a category that we would be interested in.” – Mike Griffith, Activision president and CEO

The “barriers to entry ” is EA Sports.  I’m sure that Activision would love to have an annual sports title but I can’t imange anything being able to compete with EA.

“The goal at this point is that we would make Wii MotionPlus required in order to play Zelda… The bigger hurdle for us is not really whether people have a Wii MotionPlus or don’t have it, it’s whether or not the experience is one where people will think they want to have a Wii Motion Plus in order to experience it,” – Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo
