In some news that seems rather unorthodox yet obvious, Sony is planning on offering multiple price points on upcoming PS Vita games. The decision is said to be a way to combat the current cheap smartphone gaming landscape.
European PlayStation boss Jim Ryan says, “I think it would be safe to assume we will take a more tailored approach than perhaps we’ve done in the past…it would be foolish and naïve to ignore what’s happening in the smartphone market.
It’s our challenge to ensure that the gaming experience that we provide is closer to that TV console experience than it is to your 69p thing that you’ve downloaded on your iPhone. If we do that and we provide great value to the consumer on games like Uncharted, I think the possibility to sustain historic console type price points is there.”
Unfortunately there are no specifics on what exactly these price points are and what types of games we can expect within each tier.
The PS Vita is set to launch in North America and Europe on February 22nd, 2012.
