Activision Blizzard chief executive Bobby Kotick said in an analyst call today that he thinks the prices on the next-generation video game consoles will come down faster than in years past because of investments made by the home console makers and efficiencies in manufacturing.
That may be wishful thinking on Kotick’s part, as it’s in his interests to urge console makers to lower prices so that he can sell more of his own games. But he noted that Sony and Microsoft have been investing more heavily in their backend infrastructure, or servers for handling online interactions, more than ever before.
