Why gamers don't buy a game because it is for another console?

You must make a lot of money if you can buy a console for just one game!

 

Actually you don't need that much money for a system plus one game and don't forget new gaming systems are not launched every few months or even every year.

If I'd be interested in a PSV (which I'm currently not but this can always change depending on its future library) and if I bought it for and with just one game - like, say...hm...what available PSV game would I take...*browses current library*...okay: either Uncharted or Gravity Rush plus a 8 GB card - it would currently cost me around 280 € according to amazon.de.

I'm pretty certain there's many people around the world who - on average - spend more money each year on new smartphones, tablet PCs or Ultrabooks (often even despite already having one or more of those devices) than I do on new gaming systems. I know a few people - my niece's boyfriend, to name one - who already plan to replace their current iPhone with the new, still unannounced model. If I'm not mistaken it will cost these people around 600 € or more to "upgrade" a device they already own.

 

Heh, true.

Except I'm only a kid who doesn't have a job. Must be part of the joys of working and getting money? xD

you need to learn how to negotiate with your parents.

For example, when you go to buy school books, tell them they cost 4x what they really do. Then spend the other 3/4 of the money on a new console. In my case it was a 32MB geforce 2 (when those bastards were $300) haha. SO many years ago now.
