GameLife reported earlier today that the announcement of the Elite Xbox 360 would be coming tomorrow. Now, Sony has gone right ahead and taken a shot at Microsoft’s still yet-to-be-announced Elite 360:
"We think every PlayStation 3 owner should have an ‘elite’ experience, which is why we include an internal hard drive and HDMI output in every PS3 we sell, along with the 50 GB of storage capacity on a high definition Blu-ray disc. Sony has been the strongest advocate of high definition as the future of next-generation gaming. This requires high-definition components, including HDMI output, and large storage devices to deliver and store all that rich and vivid HD content. Microsoft’s announcement today not only legitimizes Sony’s PS3 strategy, it moves us closer to adopting universal standards in the area of high definition gaming that will benefit game developers and ultimately the end user."
To be fair, Microsoft has at least provided an option for gamers on a lower budget with its $300 Core pack. Sony, on the other hand, has yet to deliver on many of the promises it has made over the past year, so the choice to criticize Microsoft’s strategy will certainly be frowned upon by many.
