Actually, it's really not that funny. It's quite obvious to me... The funny part is how "unobvious" it was when Sony decided to put out a box at $600. You can use any parallel of any product you want. Cars for instance: Honda Accord - Sells by the bazillion. Quick, Agile, great for the masses (and sells that way) Chevy Corvette - Sells well, but by no means anywhere near the Accord. Ferrari - Sells just a few thousand a year, if that, but they are an ultimate car. It is all about the price of the product as it relates to relative pricing in the mass market. A Camry, for instance, is priced about the same as an Accord and sells relatively the same number of units. Lamborghini is comparable to the Ferrari and sells roughly the same. And so on... |
well i see what your saying kind of....but the difference between the cars you listed is very vast in Price you could buy like how many Accords for the price of a Ferrari?
The extra 200 dollars you "save" on buying a 360 is quikly made up when you buy just a few extras....ie. Most of the guys i know that got a 360 picked up the 30-40 dollar intercooler becase it got so hot. Most paid the $100 for the WiFi adapter too along with atleast one Plug and play adapter for $20 and later a few even bought the HD-DVD drive just for movies that alone was $200. Now not figuring in the 200 HD dvd thats 400 for the 360 say 40 for a cooler 100 WiFi and 20 plug and play cord(400+40+100+20=560) Thats just for Hardware add the $60/year for the XBL for at least 4 years that would be another $240 dollars added to the price.
Using your analogy you would pay more for a well equiped corvette than for a Standard Farrari (assuming the Wii was the Accord)
