The actual games, absolutely. Sales of a console...not in the slightest. If your team sucks, you suck it up and wait till it gets better, if your console sucks, you dispose of it and get one that doesnt. In any case, I really don't care...just have nothing better to do at work atm. If I did care I'd point out how Sony is selling each console at a loss and how PS2 and PSP sales are dissapearing by the second which has been helping offset their PS3 losses for the past 2 years...and how games sales, which are the main source of revenue, still don't touch xbox 360, and how Xbox360 gets to sell their console for a profit and has an online model which they make money off as well. But like I said, I really don't care which console sells more cause the bottom line is...there will be a 360 price cut if PS3 keeps outselling it and vice versa. |
Consoles > Games
Teams > Games
When consoles cost as much as they do these days people become emotionally invested in their purchase. When a brand (of console or game studio or series) gives you alot of joy over a good period of time you become emotionally invested in them.
You may be fickle but alot of people are not. They absolutely want their choice or favorite console to succeed, if not just for the emotion of it, for the fact that it increases the money the company gets and increases the chance that another great game, console, whatever gets made.
