Interesting article from Hollywood reporter today(by the by nicely prominent link for HR minutes).....As a game strategist, how does the video game war impact the patent licensing strategy. Seems that none could afford a delay of shipments due to patent problems. Just don't know. Also, philosophically, is Microsoft more inclined to be friendly to patent licensing? IE..not likely to want to let this be litigated?
Prices set for big three video game boxes
May 22, 2001

Nintendo said Monday it will sell its long-awaited GameCube for $199.95 -- about $100 less than video game boxes with more bells and whistles from major competitors -- starting Nov. 5. The announcement answers the final questions for an army of parents who will be in the market for a console this year. It comes less than a week after Microsoft said it would launch its Xbox for $299 on Nov. 8. Sony's PlayStation 2, which has sold 3 million units in North America since its debut in October, sells for $299. "We are pretty thrilled that we are able to bring it in at this price," Perrin Kaplan, vice president of corporate affairs for Nintendo of America Inc., said from her office in Redmond, Wash. "These systems are pretty much computers, and there is nothing simple about getting the price down for a computer." The industry has called this the most important year ever for video games and predicts it will be the biggest console war in history. (AP) Full story
