Gamestop chief executive Daniel DeMatteo labelled Sony’s PlayStation 3 as an impressive piece of kit, but ultimately feels the black behemoth is a tad experience compared to rival machines in the current economic climate.

A company press release detailing the retailer’s sales boost over the festive season reads: “DeMatteo called Sony Corp.’s PlayStation 3 a “great machine,” but said it is just a bit pricey for the current economic environment. The cheapest Xbox 360, which comes without a hard drive, costs $200 and the Wii is $250. Sony Corp.’s 80-gigabyte PlayStation 3 console, which includes a Blu-ray player, sells for $400.”

Sony previously commented this week that it feels PS3 offers better value for money than its competitors.
