I'm sure a lot of CoD users are buing a next-gen console just to play it instead to buy a old-gen... there are a lot of guys that will buy only CoD for Xbone/PS4 for months... it will be the unique game in their library. Edit - To explain what I'm saying is that old games in next-gen consoles move more hardware than unique and exclusive new IPs. |
ONLY if those old games are exclusive to next-gen consoles.
Otherwise its just someone basically buying a gaming PC. Is it worth spending $500 for updated graphics? PRetty sure most this forum believes not. They have been dissing PC gamers for eyars on how much they spend on a PC when they can play the same game on their 360. But now they are willing to spedn $500+ on a console just for prettier graphics?
Thus why I dont' think we will see huge numbers of jumpers until the big name games become next-gen exclusive. Obviously it will be hard to tell until 2014, cause fanboys and must have techies will jump and buy regardless game selection and/or price, and then holiday numbers distort things. But will be interesting to see how sales go when its teh normal year and the average consumer is trying to justify spending $500 on a system to play the same games as his system can alreaddy play
