To this day I know people who have not bought a Xbox 360 because they are waiting for Halo 3, seriously. People buy gaming systems when they feel like they have to have a certain game. When they can see the reason behind the purchase - Because no matter how much you tell someone this has next gen graphics and it's more advance, if they can't see their self playing a game they will love then what's the point in buying it. |
Even though I agree with you, I think that there is more to this than simply having one great game at launch ...
The cost of entry has risen much higher due to higher console costs ($100 to $300 higher), higher controller costs ($20 to $30 higher), and higher game costs ($10) which means that the console manufacturer has to provide that much more of a reason why people should upgrade to their new system.
