There will be a lot of people out there that purchase it solely for the ability as a means to watch movies or such as the cable box focus. The PS3 in contrast was bought by many people who wanted the machine solely for a blu-ray player. In the console market, the money is found in the attach ratio. I personally own about 55+ PS3 games, whereas the average is around 6 I believe? Centering on that media hub focus may be a factor that hurts the Xbox One more then it helps it. The PS3 for the entirety of this generation has had a poor attach rate in comparison to the Xbox 360 which was more focused on gaming for the majority of its lifetime. Time will tell, and it will surely be interesting too see. |
it's about 9 -10 for both of them I think and I beat you 55+ with about 100! (I will actually count them soon...)
But I'm not convinced. The PS3 offered a blu-ray player cheaper than anywhere else. The Xbox offers a nice way to control your cable box and video on demand... The only thing it does above a 360 is the HDMI pass through. Maybe the situation is different in America, but in the UK, all these boxes offer video on demand and many TVs do directly.
The future of games consoles is gaming. People are not going to spend $400 on this box just for its non-gaming elements, the games are what are going to make the difference
