12.1 From a consumer standpoint, the Sony Play Station's most attractive features ( com-pared to those of Nintendo's N-64) were its lower software costs and greater library of titles. The average PlayStation title retailed for less than $45, whereas N-64 titles aver-aged close to $60. Hardware prices were comparable at $150, with some industry par-ticipants expecting a possible PlayStaion price cut to below $100 sometime in 1998.
