I still think that the sweet spot this generation will be PS3 at 250$ to counter 360's Natal. |
Well, I say €300 (in my country which, aparently it's yours too) not because of the value of the hardware itself.
When the 360 (20/60 GB SKU) got to €300 it was just late enough that it's owners could enjoy the majority of this generation's AAA games to date. What I'm trying to say with this is that it's dificult to find time and money to play bioshock when FFXIII, Alan Wake, Splinter Cell conviction, god of war 3 are coming this year and you still want to play some of the already released games for the console which means some of them that are pretty good will eventually be forgotten by newcomers. i certainly wouldn't have played Bioshock or Beautiful Katamari if I bought my 360in the last 6 months.
With the PS3 it was a little diferent. It got to that price a little later but there weren't that much exclusive AAA games and, If you owned a 360 before, you wouldn't miss the multiplat AAAs or whatever games you'd like.
In a consumer's point of view it's obvious that cheaper is better but buy it too early and you risk paying too much, buy it late and you miss some games that you might have liked.
The advice I give to my friends that want to wait for a specific game is to wait just until they think the console is at a good value for them, buy it and enjoy the games that meanwhile are released.
