Midway goes all the way to lend a shoulder to Sony [Update]

Over at IGN, an interview was covered between GamesIndustry.biz and Midway CEO David Zucker. Zucker stood behind Sony's ever popular pricing decision with many points given similar to the breakdown of a bargain posted the other day. He mentioned the very inclusion of a Blu-Ray player and all features that come with that makes it worth the price. If the market for Blu-Ray takes off and it becomes the norm, it helps not only the PS3 all the more, but the Blu-Ray world as well.While PS3 does gather a lot of bad press, this is yet another very large, recognizable company name that does indeed lend support to Sony. Just a basic checklist of companies (well, person/persons in a company, but for generalization) that support Sony so far include, but aren't limited to: Square-Enix, Konami, EA, Midway and Activision. It may not seem like much, but it's better than being surrounded by flame.

Look out Sony! Midway is just trying to get into your pants while you're vulnerable to take advantage of you...kinda like what you're doing to your fanbois. ;P

I hope they realize that if you "have to justify the price", then the price is wrong. Somewhat like how Nintendo had to justify the "Wii" name.
If it sounds outlandish or wrong, a million excuses aren't going to make it better in the eye of the general consumer.
