| Mr Puggsly said: Well... PS3 was very easy to find at launch. I think people today are more accepting of high price points than 2006. Its probably because modern consoles are perceived as more than a gaming machine. Wii U seems destined for 3rd in the 8th gen. It already had a price cut and its still getting crushed by the PS3 and 360. A 3DS seems sufficient for those who need their 1st party fix. |
$500 today is definitely more acceptable today than $600 in 2006. I think most non-fan customers buy a system depending on their situation. I bought the PS3 in 2009 cause I was single and living alone and would not pay for online gaming. But the most fun, laughing fun, lmao fun I had last gen was playing Mario Kart Wii at my friends place and Mario Smash.
Now that I am married, the new Mario Kart coming out is having me thinking about getting the Wii U. Mario Kart, Zelda and any other well done Mario games should push hardware for Nintendo. And we know how they milk their Mario games
