But what if I don't like toast? What if I'm not into breakfast at all? And I might have friends that don't like Toast either. They say toast is too cruchy. They prefer waffles. It's a good thing I got me a waffle maker so my friend can come over and have waffles!

That's totally silly, I'm sure you know! Obviously, if you don't like toast very much, you won't buy a toaster, just as someone who doesn't like video games won't buy video game systems at all. Also, a toaster can make frozen waffles

The hypothesis was: what happens if two people actually want to buy toasters (which is directly comparable to two people who actually want to buy video game systems)? It is completely irrelevant to me if person A buys toaser A. In contrast, it is very important to me if person A (and B and C... and Z) buy console A, because then I can play games with them and, moreover, more games are likely to be made for console A. 

 

And of multiple toaster households?  Do those not exist?  Especially if the price point is low enough.  This I believe is a lesson that will be learned by all (At least I hope).  A console wants to be sold at less than 299.  Imagine how different this race would be if either of the companies had that price point (for the premium model....no one buys a crap model).
