Considering OP asked for a "mega powerful" console, I assumed he meant more powerful than the Xbox One was relative to 2013, which would mean more expensive than the Xbox One was in 2013, which I interpreted as $500+. If it was much less than that, it wouldn't really justify the annual payment plan. People have already shown that they are more than willing to spend $400 on a new console.

PS3 got a few games recently and has a few more coming, but NX isn't out yet and won't be for at least a year and a half, more likely two and a half years. I consider your suggestion that anyone who doesn't want to spend $400 or more on a new console should just buy a ten-year-old console instead as belittling as Don Mattrick's infamous "we have a product for people who don't want an always-online device, it's called Xbox 360" blunder.

It's especially unhelpful to a long-time Nintendo fan. Just buy a Wii or a 3DS instead? I already have those. I bought them for $250 and $160, respectively, and I have no interest in paying double or triple that amount for a game console, whether all at once or spread out over several years.

hmm, well I've always seen it that most people don't adopt new systems right away whilst theres still support on the ones they currently have and the ones that do don't mind paying a premium price. I guess its a bit different with Nintendo in that their gens don't cross over at all. A new systems arrival is the previous systems immediate death lol

would you feel more comfortable pay $400 for NX if it had as much third party support as the playstation4?
