| Safiir said: Then I'll have to ask you again. What is that the people want in a console? If it's not games then what is it? |
This generation? From the casual consumer's perspective?...
1. Affordability.
2. Innovation/Novelty/Fun. (Motion control, Blu-Ray, HD, Online, etc)
3. Games.
4. Company.
For the casual consumer who knows little or nothing of upcomming exclusives or what games may or may not be ported or appear on their console eventually they first look at the one factor that is inarguable. Price. Secondly they look at these three new consoles and decide which is the most appealing to what they want in what the consoles have to offer uniquely, assuming Price isn't too great a deturant. It's a rarity a casual consumer is terribly influenced by games, most of the time they can nonchalantly part with a game they know is good but not on the console they're considering, not being hardcore gamers they can deal without having all the must have games of the generation. The last factor is the company itself, depending on how the consumer sees each of the three companies, that could influence their opinion of the console's future as well.
