While I don't like the idea of 8 gb storage, But I think companies have been successful with low internal storage, like PS2 had none, 360's 4gb is selling lot better etc etc. The point is that the average consumer may think about the base price and don't really realize or mind the additional costs later on.


THe PS2 didnt have to worry about things like updates, DLC, game installs, patches, DL games. online gaming(till later in its life). WII U does. 4GB 360 comes with Kinect from what ive seen


and look where all these patches have gotten us. broken games. I stopped caring about skyrim on PS3 cause the first round of updates did not fix the frame rate issues. Perhaps it has now I dont know.

Before HDDs and memroy storage in consoles, developers were forced (held accountable) for releasing a game that worked. Now they know they can quickly patch it up if shit happens.  Now a few years from now when PS3 is no longer in production, will I be able to connect my PS3 online and download these patches from the PSN network to get the game to work?

consoles unfortunetley turned into a cheap man's PC. At least with a PC patches are acceptable because you can always find them years from now on some gaming site server, should you wish to play the games again.

this is the one thing that made consoles so popular and great. Having the ability to pull out an old system, put the game in and play without it saying there is an update avaialble must updated before play.


You kidding me?? YOu named one game out of the hundreds of games that actually do work?? I dont know what your playing but more often than not the games do work. and more often than not the patches improve or fix the ones that dont. Oh sure there are some ones that are bad (SFxT comes to mind) but they are not that much.

Developers were forced to release games that work?? LMAO, yeah your right because we know that EVERY game ever released prior to PS360s have never had any bugs ever, please. We now have a system in place that could fix that, unless you prefer to stay with buggy games. ANd its not like Ninty never released bug games themselves, Metroid Other M, Skyward Sword, and Mario Kart 7 come to mind. MK7 is still a bit messed.  People are going to take advantage of any system, thats what is happening right now, some devs and pubs are taking advantage thats all. 

PCs, there are some older PC games that wont even run on the current ones, without jumping through hoops, (trust me i tried with FF7). But yeah i would call them cheaper PCs.
