| homer said: The 3ds will be successful. Gaming can be expensive, but I think for the sheer value for the buck some games/ systems give you, they justify their purchase. I paid a full 60 bucks for a game lastyear and have sunk a good 300 hours into it. I also bought Inception for $20, which, lets say it is 3 hours(I know it is less, but this is to make a point). In order to get the same "bang for the buck"I would have to watch Inception roughly 33 times over the course of one year, in order to get the same value. I can not see myself doing that. |
Pretty much this. Gaming is an expensive hobby, but in comparison to the amount of "use" you get out of it, it more than justifies the purchase!
Also, since Gaming is now the biggest medium, I feel as though it should get recognised more. Sadly, the case at the moment doesn't allow this...
I aim for a game to last me 1 hour for each £1 spent. So, Red Steel 2 (£25, 47 hours) is good value, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is great value (£30, 88 hours), Mario Kart Wii is amazing value (£28, 477 hours), but Just Dance is poor value (£20, 37 minutes (it was a gift, honest!)). To do this with other mediums would involve so much use the fun is drained out of it :/
(No criticism of my thread? You've certainly changed since my last couple of threads!
