HD Consoles just bouncing back from Christmas (Wii 50% of Market??)

[KBG29]

I am glad to see that you have in your sig the year 2015 an Wii in the same sentence. That had better still be this generation, because their is no reason for new consoles any sooner than that.

Now as far as prices go. 249 is a hole hell of a lot more casual then 349 or 399. I don't care if it is not the absolute threshhold price, but it is significatly more acceptable than the other two. Another thing, the only reason the PS2 sold so many units at 199 and under is because Sony dropped the price to 199 after the first year it was on the market. had they waited a year longer they would have only sold 60% at 199 or below. really that is jut like saying in 2013 that Sony sold 96% of PS3's at 499 or under. Of course they did, because they sold less than 4m at 599.

As far as the games and hardware not pushing consoles, I hole heartedly agree. IS the attatch rate on the PS2 20+ to 1? Not even close. However I do not personally know a PS2 owner with less than 25 games. I have over 150, my dad, brother, and grandpa are over 100. In my extended family we have 57 PS2's, we all played online together, and we all have over 40 games. Out of all of my friends I know over 20 people that own PS2's, about 3 that own Xboxes and 3 that own Gamecubes. Everyone of those people had at least 30 games for their systems, execpt the Gamecube guys how have about 12-15 each. This tells me based on my limited data that games do not sell systems, unless it is a nintendo system. If games were selling systems, the attatch rates would be significatly higher. So then what sells systems? In the case of the last generation, DVD's. Even if some people don't want to believe it, more than 50% of PS2's are exclusive DVD players. Now mabye these people sometimes rent a game, but for the most part that thing is a DVD player.

No move to this gen, which consoles play HD content or are content connected with the internet? The PS3 and the 360 are the correct responses. But no one cares about HD content, and not enough people have high speed internet. Take a look at the year 2000. Most people were just getting into dial-up, and almost no one High Speed internet, and DVD was only 5% of the market. Now look at 2008, 10% of people have HD-DVD or Blu-ray, DVD is the new king of movies, only a select few don't have at least dial-up, and High Speed internet is only becoming more, and more widespread with 100Mbps connections by years end for the US. So what will things look like in 2016, well no one can tell for sure, but their is a logical theory. Blu-ray is the King of Movies, Digital Downloads are about 15%, Only a select few have low speed broadband, and many have High Speed broadband at over 256Mbps. Were is the cheapest and easiest way to get what the people need? The PS3 and 360, and for the Technophiles a PS4 or a Xbox3 or a Wii 2.
