| Words Of Wisdom said: They both told me that they would not buy a PS3 without backwards compatibility. Neither will buy a console priced over $400. Sony isn't making new customers out of them any time soon it seems. |
I had a funny discussion a few months back with 2 friends. Both are casual gamers(everyone on this forum is hardcore IMO), one loves Guitar Hero, the other is a pretty big ps2 fan....probably buys a budget game a month and a 4 new full priced ones a year.
The Heavenly Sword commercial comes up and the commercial says "only for PS3." GH kid laughs and says who the fu** owns a PS3. Other kid says "Yeah I know.....I knew like 3 kids at my college (a Boston college) that had PS3's and they all traded them for XBOX's." I said (knowing they were casual) "Well they are releasing a $400 PS3 next month" they asked why and I told them about the BC and immediatly GH kid laughed was like "well then Im not buying a PS3" and the other kid agreed.
It is interesting to get perspectives from non hardcore gamers. If you come on this forum you get a lot of ideas about what masses want based on a bunch of hardcore gamers and fanboys.
I always thought that the 40 gig would do really really wel but I am not so sure anymore.
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.
