Whatever we're willing to pay for a console is, at the very least, what it's worth. If System X costs $1000 to produce, sells for $700, and I refuse to buy it, it's not worth $700 to me. If System Y costs $150 to produce, sells for $200, and I'm willing to pay that (and then some), which company did a better job? |
The company did a better job but the consumers dont gain anything from the company profiting off their money, so why are the fans so happy that they are giving a lot to their company of choice?
Its kind of a contradiction, and some people even go as far as to say x console sux because its selling at a loss. Good on the companys but not necesarily good on the consumers.
Wouldnt everyone be a lot happier if the wii and ds were 50 dollars cheaper? (supply issues aside)
