Sweet spots are different depending on the audience. Families and secondary console buyers won't pay as much as hardcore gamers/primary console buyers in general.

You do realize that the both the PS4 and XB1's userbases aren't filled with hardcore gamers, right ? 

Those customers are much like you and I ... They just want to play good games too like we do but most of all they'll cave in once a game they want comes out. The family audience doesn't JUST belong to Nintendo, if anything that belongs to PS4 more than EVER much like how the PS1 or the PS2 did! 

Your probably wondering what I mean by the above but a platform's price is just a barrier to the games and $300 has NEVER been the issue according to the success of the PS1 or PS2, the problem that lies within the WII U are it's GAMES or lack thereof! 

The current PS4/X1 userbase is not families buying for their kids, it's 18-40 year old males buying for themselves based on hype.

A $299 price is a barrier to much of MK's audience.


I don't actually care about the argument itself, but you guys can't say these things as fact. There's no way to truely know who buys or doesn't buy what and why.
