Well you must have not read what all I wrote. If you would have you would have seen I put sharper games, bigger etc. The funny thing is I knew someone would write what you just did. I love how the amazingly rich people come on here and act as though buying a brand new standard television and gaming console is nothing. Even though most people have just upgraded to blu-ray/1080p. You think people are going to rush out to get a brand new 4k T.V already. My point is that the jump will not be anything mindblowing. And people simply cannot afford to pay top dollar for gaming consoles anymore. Just look at 3DS and Vita bothoth are great but people wont pay the price because we are living in hard times. The big 3 will pay attention to this and will make the consoles as affordable as possible. By the way I dont (talk as if resolution is the only thing that increases) I talk as if there are many factors other then new 4k televisions. |
hey I'm not rich, I am actually poor lol, I was just pointing out that there were new higher res TVs.
BTW the segment of the market that buys a new console at launch is the kind of person that will run out and buy a new TV, that's why consoles usally don't start selling well until year 3 once the price comes down and there are plenty of games. Software sells hardware not the hardware it's self, but hardware is required to make the software that people want to buy the hardware for. People are not going to go out and buy a new console that has the same games as the console they have just with slightly better graphics and a slightly better kinect just like they won't buy a console that is $599. You need a balance and if you can deliver new experiances that are different enough compaired to the current hardware there is no reason to launch new hardware because like you said times are hard and people are not going to blow $399 on new hardware if it doesn't blow them away with what it can do. Not when there are hundreds of great games on current hardware and graphics are good enough. Unless you think that MS and Sony have something as different as the Wii mote up their sleeves...
