| EdStation3 said: 1 WiiSports sells on movement...not on graphics. 2 I never said better graphics mean more sales/more fun.
What I said can be explained by making a graph from the dawn of video games till now, and then made a line showing the growth in space requirements. It will go up as time goes on... Now draw a line that says 7GB(DVD) and one that says 45GB(Bluray). Which line crosses the space requirements line first? The 7GB line does... while the 45GB line has space to handle years and years of growth.
Take me and my cousin: He bought an XBox ($230) plus 2 years of Live ($120) for a total of: $350 I bought a PS2 ($180) Support of his console went -poof- after ONLY 4 and a half years while mine is still supported. $180 x 2 is $360. He paid $350. Ive played my PS2 twice as long but he paid twice as much...
I bought a Ps3 ($499), He bought an Arcade 360($299)...he had to buy a charger set ($40) has bought two years of Live ($120) a HDD ($120) WiFi antenna ($120) for a total of $699. He's paid $200 more than I have...yet chances are my PS3 will be able to play games well into this generation as it will outlast the 360 due to it's space capabilities and will be able to support games for years to come.
He paid more - but I play more...I'll play a lot more...well into threshold of the post-7GB days which is coming soon.
PS: He paid more but his HDD is 20GB is smaller than me 80GB (odd huh?) and he needs the 120HDD soon...so $200 in the near future |
Graphics don't sell games very well, you don't need more than 7GB for a 10+M selling game.
As for your cousin, its pretty irrelevant to anything here. Games will still release for the Xbox 360 for as long as the PS3 is around. Sony however will abandon serious effort on the PS3 once the PS4 is out.
Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?
