Being an entertainment hub won't be a selling point. There are TONS of other devices that are cheaper where you can watch movies, TV series, etc. Heck you can use Netflix with your smartphone, which is more than enough for a lot of people. Gaming consoles sell because of games, all this entertainment stuff are just bonuses which will only be a second thought or not even a priority for a lot of people. Is true that gaming has never been a cheap hobby, but the economy is not in a well position for people to spend $400+ on a simple hobby. As long as the 360 and PS3 have games coming for them and the PS4 and Xbox Infinity are expensive (let's say until they reach a $300-$350 price point (not counting subscription base models, if there are any)), then both consoles will suffer in the sales department, at least that's what I think. |
It is a selling point. Who would buy a console that can't even have internet access? These things are expected these days.
I agree. PS3/360 will sell 3-4x more than PS4/720 this holiday. No one is expecting PS4/720 to sell 1 million on Black Friday like 360 did one year.
