The difference between a good console and a great one is about the cost of two to four games, but people would rather settle for the crappy piece of hardware that they're hoping to get years of use out of because it's a tad cheaper. If I sound bitter, it's because I am lol, we've just had the weakest generation of hardware yet. |
Well, there are also people for which a difference in power doesn't make a difference at all. I personally couldn't care less if games run in 4K or 1080p, if they run in 60 fps or 30 fps, if they have AA or tesselation or whatever. I simply do not care. On top of that there are also people who never buy more than two to four games for their system so it does make a real big difference for them. Not everyone is a hardcore gamer, some just get a console for FIFA or whatever. It happens. And there are also people who simply cannot afford a console for 500+ $. Especially children and teenager. When I was a little kid, I only git two games per year. One for my birthday, one at christmas, nothing more. My parents bought the console itself (NES) for me and my brothers together, we had to share it. In that kind of situation, every dollar counts.
Sure, if you live alone, have a decent job and no children, you don't care too much about money and just want a console as good as it gets. But in that case, I'd say just go for a beefy PC. Scorpio and Neo should be an ok solution for people somewhere in between. But at the end of the day, I think it's quite important that consoles are somewhat cheap.
