Price is always a driving factor in capitalist markets. It isn't the only factor, but it is the only factor which can be measured somewhat scientifically. No matter what our individual values may be, we have to reduce it to a price value once we make a market decision.
And yes, it is true that there are a few people who will not buy at any price. They are at the extreme end of the unsatisfied demand market, what we call unreasonable demand. There are actually people at the other extreme too, who consider any price to be acceptable; this is how certain companies are able to sell designer watches at exorbitant prices and still get sales. But neither group is significant compared to the mass of consumers who are willing to pay a price for goods and services, but not just any price.
I am not surprised that consoles don't take off in more limited economies. They truly are luxury goods, and with the few exceptions of what we call the "first world", most nations don't have the sort of spare funds lying about to buy expensive electronics for entertainment purposes only.
