NOA VP George Harrison Interview

Gamespot has an nice little interview with George Harrison of NOA. While its mostly more of the same, as will probably be the case until they unviel the Revolution, there are a few tidbits that I found interesting:

Gamespot: So this is just kind of a remix of the Game Boy, a hipper Game Boy. Is this going to have a different price point?

Harrison: It may. We’re also looking at what the price and bundle combination might be for the fall. One of the things that they’ve launched in Japan that we’re considering is–it’s called the Play-Yan and it allows you to play MP3 music or MP4 video files in your Game Boy. We’re trying to see how that’s doing and if that makes sense to bring out as a companion to this.

and

Gamespot: So do you think that’s really going to ramp up more third-party support for Revolution? The fact that it’s going to be easier to make games for than the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3?

Harrison: Well, we hope it will and, in fact, it’s really important to us. There’s some games that we do extremely well, our game franchises obviously, but there are others that we don’t do. I think if we look at the GameCube and say, “OK, what’s one of the things we missed in this generation?” Well, we really didn’t have the Grand Turismos or the Grand Theft Autos, so those are the things that the publishers with their particular expertise can really fill in the gaps on, and that’s important to us.
