| ZenfoldorVGI said: I'm gonna say "accomlishments" are just as pointless as "achievements" and mean little to nothing to a consumers consideration during purchase. When, achievements are mentioned to the consumer, and explained, the first question is "what do they do" and when you tell them, "nothing" you add nothing. Basically, achievements, accomlishments, and Home are nice for the gamer who already owns the system, because they add utility, however they aren't a selling point, not by a longshot, and mean relatively little compared to even a 10 dollar price cut. If the PS3 got a 10 dollar price cut, it would sell more units, than it would if it added Accomplishments to the console. That's just my take. |
While it may not sell systems, it will likely help some with software. I can't tell you how many times I have heard people say they will get the 360 version of some game because of achievments. Personally I have never understood why people like achievments, but to each his own. As for the topic, I hope the final version of these "accomplishments" doesn't interupt gameplay like that picture seems to suggest.
