I find it hard to believe that Microsoft is having trouble keeping up with demand, especially now that people are cancelling their pre-orders. 720p, anyone? |
Gonna go ahead and assume sarcasm on this one.
The broad demographic of consumers are 100% oblivious to these kinds of things. In fact a huge chunk of those interested in PS4 are 100% unaware they have to pay for online on the console.
Same with X1 and the weaker ports. The things that are discussed heavily in forum wars will have little to no bearing on hardware sales. Marketing, exclusive titles, and price will have far more impact than silly resolution wars 95% of the demographic couldnt care about.

I am going to disagree with you and say that anyone pre-ordering or buying a PS4 or XB1 at or soon after the launch date is very intuned and informed with everything regarding that console. These are not the casual wii type consoles that causes the casuals confusion. These are so called "hard-core" consoles for core gamers.
There are unlikely to be grannies in the queue waiting for a PS4.. unless someone else ask them to. Casuals don't care about getting a PS4 at launch.
To play what? Sony Sing song party?
Yes there will be "confused" buyers but not as many as you think on the these so-called "gamer" consoles.

Are you standing in stores taking pre orders talking to consumers and taking their pre orders? No? I am.
What i posted isnt my opinion its a fact. Most honestly dont care but your average consumer litteraly look nothing like the people who post on forums. And the belief only core gamers pre order consoles is an absolute myth.

No I don't. I couldn't work in a shop, not that good with people.
But believe it or not someone who actually do work in a shop taking orders, talking about consoles and selling consoles is sitting and stuffing his face full of chips opposite me. It's my housemate.. or rather the guy that rents a room in my house. I know you probably think I am making this up but...honest.
Maybe it's different in the UK. That's it. Maybe it's the people in the UK who are better informed. Maybe the people that go his shop are better informed. Maybe the people that go to yours are not.
Anyway as there is scientific way to prove either way I will go down the middle mix your experiences with his.
Edit: I am told to add that you can't take the account of one shop in one location and make it a global fact. In your defense he had worked at a diffferent branch in a different town and the people knew jack. It is localized.
