The Wii did it, so I dont know why they cant.

The Wii launched at $249 and had a USP. The Xbox One will come in at double that price, with just more advanced tech and nowhere near the innovation as the Wii.

I just don't see casuals picking up a $450-$499 device.. just so they can to daisy chain their consoles to cable/satellite boxes, stream things and for the other Kinect features.


You cant see Americans do that? With the cellphone market coming out with new phones every year like EA? The prices of these small phones are ridiculous. They still enjoy lofty initial sales.s

Considering that the new Xbox almost feels like it was designed primarly for the American market, of course. Outside of NA, the more media centric features like cable/TV intergration and streaming/other services won't be as much of a big deal as much MS would have you beleive.

Cell phones are another matter. I'd wager that the general public are more willing to spend more of their money on smartphones, tablets and other computing devices, rather than on consoles. In any case, none of the new consoles are going to disrupt the market in any way or form (from what I've seen).
