what's so hard to understand? the average consumer will definetely be atracted by the lower price and that's an advantage. that by itself won't guarantee absolute success but it's already a battle won.

You said it won't be the favorite because it's the cheapest, yet it will be favored because it's the cheapest. That statement is blatantly hypocritical. Not sure why you're having trouble comprehending that.

Low price is only an advantage if the perceived value is there. That is what will determine this generations winner. If I charge $1 for a bag of my own urine, it doesn't have an advantage over the Wii U just by virtue of being cheaper, because there is no concept of value for it. Price alone doesn't matter.

what's the problem with you? of course there is perceived value but for the average consumer they only see a videogame. some may do some research but in the end all consoles will have it's great games so when it comes to price they will tend towards wii u.

I'll try explaining the first part again: THE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT PRICE ALONE (AVERAGE CONSUMER) WILL FAVOUR WII U. THAT ISN'T TO SAY WII U WILL BE THE WHOLE MARKET FAVOURITE BECAUSE OF THAT ALONE. BUT IN THAT REGARD, IT WILL BE FAVOURED.

They don't need to do research. The pros of each system will be heavily advertised, and will likely be written directly on the frickin box. You seem to think that the general population is just going to assume all platforms are equal and just pick the cheapest option. Which has never been the case for any console. Ever.
