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.


braginng rights lol?
