Does there exist any data from the 3DS to N3DS transition that give a hint of what will happen? Can Sony afford to wait for E3 to give more information? Will MS scrap their plans for Xbox 1,5? Or will MS make something else? One month ago I was thinking that this site would be dull (except for NX threads) this year, but now there will lots of fun with sales numbers again! |
You make some interesting points. There have been rumours about the XBO having a 1.5, so perhaps both have been working on it and to be fair, looking at mobile phones etc... there is a reasonable point to it. The old 5-7 year wait for a new console is a lot of money, time and effort. What if you could bring out a new console every 3 years just by improving certain things. At some point there will be a problem (perhaps in say another 3 years when the next one comes out), where they would say, games wont work on PS4.0... but I think the gaming industry is changing, and though some people are moaning... it was going to happen sooner or later.
It also solves the issue of product prices racing to the bottom, they can make a cheaper slimmer Ps4.0 and sell that cheaper, and the more expensive 4.5 which will earn them more revenue, and prevent MS from perhaps jumping in and doing the same (and if they are would people be that bothered by a XBO1.5).
The biggest gripe is the price of the PS3 which is still very expensive and doesnt look like its going to drop at any point.
