well I do not agree this was true last century.... considering that the US has one of the worst internet infrastructure in the western world I wouldn't be too concerned about that....
developed countries are rising fast but piracy is an issue over there, so concidering they make very little money on the console and make it on the games the eventual loss of customer on those market is negligeable..... and the third world countries are not a target audience beside the higher classes in those countries maybe and they probably have what it needs to work....
so far the situation to me is summed up like that : (quote from a Forbes article)
Both of these consoles still badly need to justify their own existence, and I’m not sure either will be a runaway success. Sony has plenty of time to come back swinging. But what I saw from Sony’s PS4 reveal was more of the same. What I saw from Microsoft was all of that old stuff with a lot more added on top. When it comes down to buying time in the fall, I think we’re going to be looking at two fairly similar consoles, with fairly similar pricing schemes and software lineups. The difference will be all of Xbox One’s new features, and that could sway purchasing decisions.
