| ssj12 said: Additional features can become a major selling point. Also do you realize half the features in the console right now are, guess what, asked for by PS fans. For example; Remote access to the HDD by the PSP, was requested. The general fact that the system makes it so that you dont need additional items is a major plus. Why have a CD player when you can use your console? I havent had a CD player in 5 years because of my PS2. Same with a DVD player. Did I just screw up your whole argument because theres plenty of people just like me who use our logic at buying an item that does multiple things then just one? Common sense tell me that 5 in 1 = less space taken up then 1 in 1 items. Ipod video sells well, how many people complain about it being able to play videos and music for it's stupidly high price? no one. If Sony advertised it as a gaming console with features x, y, z then that will make people think "hey this is a good deal." |
Yes, additional features can be a selling point. You're still not understanding my argument. Convergence devices can work if the price is kept within reason. Obviously that didn't happen with the PS3 and Sony is doing a great job of keeping customers away in droves.
And the video iPod argument is a terrible one. The iPod was already incredibly popular and Apple released the video iPod at the same price point with added features. Again, no additional cost to consumers. The same thing applies to playing CDs on your PS2. That functionality cost you absolutely nothing to use.
