AAaaaaahH!!!!! I DIDNT think you'd talk GPU memory  xD! If it comes to graphics-card dedicated memory,  1GB is definetly  enough if MS isnt going True-HD, but stays on 1080p instead. (going for 4k x 2k resolution would be absurd - yeah i know,  stating the obvious here. )

 

@Play4Fun:

"Anyone willing to spend that much for a gaming device would just get the alternative...a gaming PC."

 

- Well, i think the problem isnt the price itself, but the fact that its a console that costs that certain ammount. (And by the way, When the new Consoles come out, they'll stay again over Gaming PC's, for at least a year. and when the PC has to be upgraded again, the console comes away as the overall far cheaper device. - not including game pricing here)

But look at what people pay for a Phone nowadays. so yeah, the problem is, people are used to pay 'as low as possible' for a console, making the PS3's 599$ back then somewhat insane in people's minds, while many bought a Phone or Tablet for more than this, without questioning the pricepoint. (And the Iphone for example is/was just overpriced for the hardware it contains.)

Comparing them to Phones and tablets  make no sense because that's two different markets with products bought for different reasons that have different values to customers.

Consoles will never be valued the same way phones are valued. NEVER.

...unless they evolve in the future to multi-media devices used to interact with all entertainment, er, stuff in your house and become a big part of people's everyday lives. Until then, NEVER.
