How do you know that an x% of those consumers don't have any kind of idea about hardware and therefor don't know if that's a good or a bad deal? And my brother bought one for 200€ in 2009. He wanted to get some of the Mario classics, but he wasn't very happy with price. Perhaps he wasn't the only one. Sony launched the PS3 for 600$ but the production costs were superior to that number, so as you can see, one of the consoles is offering a pretty damn good deal, specially because it was and still is the cheapest blu-ray player. Ok now I sounded like a salesman... lol |
Wow, that is ridiculous. Do you think there are more people that feel a $250 Wii was more of a rip off than a $500-600 PS3?
A PS3 at $600 was an awful price. Here's something you may be missing: production costs do not matter to the customer. I don't give a fuck if the Wii costs $10 to make, it's reasonably priced as it is for me. If the PS3 cost $1000 to make, I still wouldn't be thanking them when I end up paying them $500 for it.
edit: cAPSLOCK's post said it best. The "hardcore" order is:
PC > HD consoles > Wii.
The guys in the middle don't have an argument to stand on.
