Because it is obvious. If you wanted to play all the most recent software, a PS3 or 360 is the last thing you would buy. It isn't rocket science too see that they are already missing a lot of games and will soon only receive Fifas and CoDs. It's just a matter of common sense. You missed all cool games of the gen and after years only seeing YouTube gameplays you finnaly get a PS360. First thing? Buy the blockbusters. Why I know that? Simple. Where do you live? I assume that is on a 1st world country where people have way more resources for consoles. I live in Brazil. Consoles are expensive and I know a lot of guys getting a last gen console only now. The most well know games, like Uncharted 3, are perfect for them. They are older and cheaper and the best of the gen. I was a late adopter in previous gens, and that's basically what you do: grab the best. |
I am not so arrogant to make a statement like you did. It is obvious to you, still you are generalizing the buying behaviour of millions of people. Whatever they buy, they buy. It is *probable* that they buy some of the blockbusters but it could be that they mostly budget games for a console they bought at a budget price. Given most are buying it now because of price means many of the consoles are also gifts - gifts to children or people who are not so knowledgable about gaming like you or others. People that buy games because of covers or because there is "Lego" or "Disney" written on it. In summary, the casual crowd.
