Now that the "hardcore gamer" mostly have gotten a gen 8 home console and the dust has settled.. we can assume that the more "casual" videogamer will start enter gen 8.. But what matter for theese people.. How is it in your contry..?
just for clearance
In this tread.. "casuals" means normal people who buy a console just like they buy a computer or other gadet.. meaning looking more at what it offer.. and price.. rather than a special brand/model.
- Big part of that group is parents buying for kids (and them self mayby :)
- Other part could be "public places" like kindergardens.. schools.. hotels.. and so.
- And offcourse 15-45 years who see the right game/experince/service and price
We dont know how many they are.. but I would mean that it's atleast 75% of all console owners from gen 7.. and even so this gen proberly will be smaller.. it's safe to say that its more than 100 mill. (imo)
In my contry I think what matters the most for "casuals" is (most important number 1)
1. New type games
2. Price (that includes any additional price.. monthly pay.. extra controllers.. cabels)
3. "Normal" AAA games
4. Media capability
5. Resolution/framerate
Is it the same where you live.. or do you see it in an other way.. ?
