| Player1x3 said: Honestly, I never understood why people buy systems when they're getting launched... You pay much more for a console with less features and a veeery small catalogue of games. The guy who bought a Ps3 in 2010/11 got a lot more bang for his buck than the guy who bought it in 2006/7. Same goes for Wii, and don't even get me started on 360 |
Status, braginng right, and cause they got money to burn are some of the reasons peopel get it at launch.
For me it is because I got money to burn and because I remember when I was 8 and after moving to a country that had NINTENDO (NES) as a major gaming device well my parents couldn't afford it. My dad ended up getting me a used NES boxed with gun and mario/duckhunt for $50 from a guy who tried to sell it to a second hand (aka used stuff) store but they turned him away because they didn't sell video game consoles.
I didn't even own a SNES when it first come out as it was unaffordable.
My first launch console was a N64, which my parents saved up for a couple months before launching.
Now that they put me through schooling, I got a wicked job and money to burn, so I am making up for all those lost pleasures as a child.
