| theprof00 said: you called me bullshit, twroo called patcher bullshit, so yes there is a difference. secondly, nothing has sold like the wii either at the wii's price point. You continue to look at things from the perspective of the expensive consoles, where I'm just pointing out how successful the ~200$ consoles have been. The SLIGHT difference, which is the one you are picking up on with the ps3's price is a moot issue, because of both the price of the wii and the 360. This IS different from the others but the main issue, which is not even touched by your argument, is that higher value consoles dominate. |
Okay, sorry if you took offense to it, didn't exactly think it through. I wasn't really arguing against what you presented, but what Patcher was implying with his magic price argument.
I'm not sure I understand the above (your quote I bolded). Maybe this will clarify my argument: I don't exactly believe in all the bullet points I listed. I was just trying to demonstrate that not all similarities are just going to carry onto this gen. If we're to believe Patcher's claim that most consoles sell at $200 (and therefore, when the PS3 hits that point sales will rocket), we also have to look at other "similarities." For example, Microsoft's "first to 10 million wins" argument. That's all I meant, really.
