You think ppl havent had fun with their choice regardless of this stance? No one cares. This is iphone vs android Nfl vs Nba etc etc... Reskinned. |
Because when people buy things, the stockholders don't think to themselves "hmmm....people must have bought this in droves because they are misinformed". They're gonna think "whatever we're doing, it's right". And that can result in a detriment. Why do you think Microsoft start putting out a bunch of Kinect crap? Instead of getting great new games, you got games like Kinect Disneyland and Just Dance, and the like for the last 3+ years and nothing else compelling.
So them thinking "this is where we should head" resulted in Xbox 360 sales stagnating, allowing the PS3 to pass it, but Kinect was "successful" enough for them to think it was a good idea to pack it into the XBone, thus jacking up the price, adding a bunch of features that no one wants, etc. You sure you're not concerned about people being misinformed? Think about the fact that you could have gotten a much cheaper XBone, and it would have higher sales, meaning more and more support for the console down the road. You can pretend that it only matters that "people have fun with their choice regardless of your stance", but in the long run, it affects consumers, at large.
