By hardcore I mean those people who argue about stuff like video game DRM on internet gaming forums. People who actually spend time on internet gaming forums. People who make a big deal about how much better a game is if it got a 90 on Meta and the other game only got a pathetic 89. People who debate whether sales = quality.
Those people.
If say 80% of those people walked away from PS4 and Xbone because both of them introduced anti-consumer DRM measures into their console and they went to Wii U and / or Ouya how much market share would MS and Sony lose?
And they can't flip over to PC because that would be the height of hypocrisy given, at worst, MS and Sony will basically be trying to emulate the sort of DRM that already exists in PC-land.
Using this console generation's sales as PS4 and Xbone's sales potential if they do not introduce any DRM. By how much would each console fall short if the hypothetical backlash were to occur?
Go!
Bascially what I'm asking is how important a consumer force do you think the internet dwelling gamer fan is?
