| 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. |
Actually, people buy games because they know they can get easy achievements off them and other people buy 360 multiplatform games over PS3 purely because of achievements.
You're right in that achievements aren't a system seller but they are very much a game seller.
