Reasonable on 28 January 2012
| Rainbird said: I think you have some strong points with that model, especially the online options. It seems like a good all round console, which is certainly the kind of hardware that would be required, something with something for everyone basically. Other than that, you do of course need strong games, so gathering a big userbase and developer support is key. More so than the hardware I believe. So get a console that is appealing in price and featureset, and do so for both consumers and developers and you may have the key. |
The games are of course key, but I think this gen has shown that console cost/service features play a big part in chosing sides. For example in regions where online is flacky that I've travelled through, the PS3 is much preferred as the online is free. I've spoken to people who spend half their time trying to get online vs only half gaming. Paying for Live seems outragous but PSN being free is fine.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
