In the realm of the everyday person $400 is a lot. In the realm of "technology people" its moderatley expensive.
I think the best answer for this is look at $400 not as buying PS3 or XBOX or anything. Imagine you are giving a loved one a $400 gift........how many people would you spend $400 on.
IMO for the middle class person $400 for a gift is a lot. As I said $400 for a technology guy $400 is still quite a bit, not as much as a pc gaming rig or a LCD screen.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
