While both Microsoft and Sony have launched their own peripherals, Kinect (149.99 US dollars) and PS move, their prices have been criticized by outsiders.  The game is regarded as the manufacturer of these two peripherals, the price is too high, and now has not planned to launch a new game for the two peripherals. COO Thomas Tippl recently said in an interview that he was worried about the price of the Kinect and PS move now. "As publishers, we have to consider the impact of prices on the game consoles," he said. Only when the game hardware reaches a certain amount of sales can you get a return on your investment. So the lower the price of game hardware the better, in the current economic environment, this point is more important. "After all, it is the new peripherals of the two big game host platforms, and I believe the dynamic view will also consider designing new games for them."  But the move is more cautious, and if it costs 80 million of dollars to create a new game for Kinect or PS moves, no one buys it, it's a big loss. While the move is also delaying the development of new games because of the high price of Kinect and PS moves, its rivals are already ready to scramble for new markets.  Ubisoft's "Your shape:fitness evovled" Fitness game is one of Microsoft's main games to showcase the Kinect application, and the newly developed Michael jackson:the Game will also apply to both Kinect and PS move. This is not the first time to see the game hardware products of high price dissatisfaction, prior to move as CEO Bobby Kotick think PS3 high price impact on the platform game sales. (Edit Zhang Xing)
