Please sir....

Please do not bring IPhone's into this home console discussion.  Those are 2 completely different markets, 2 totally different consumer types.......they are not even remotely similar.

 

You asked if I was serious.

But I might ask you the same thing.

Seriously?   IPhone market (where phones go obsolete every year) = Home Video gaming market where people hold on to them for 4 -6 or 7 years?

Are you serious, Mr. Adinnieken?

Both are consumer electronic devices, so yes.  I'm serious. 

The roll-out of a subsidized payment program that's relative to a service and not the hardware has no impact on when the replacement for a CE device is launching.  Especially considering that as long as the payments are maintained the next generation model could be used on that service, and likewise the older device can still function with both the service and the new device.

So what one has to do with the other is an incredibly daft string of logic.
