It's much easier for the consumer to buy a device every 4-5 years than worry about spending money every year, and game compatibility etc. If you like that stuff, I'd suggest moving to PC because the console industry is what it is because of it's simplicity. |
To me easy to upgrade hardware IS easier than having to upgrade your entire setup and spend $300-$400 doing so (after pricing in new controllers and all that jazz), in many cases rendering your existing games and accessories moot.
PC is not the same thing, it's not easy to upgrade anything unless you are a computer dork (I use that word affectionately, but lets be honest, the inside of most tower PCs is fairly intimidating).
Something I can buy for cheap and just plug in like plugging in new batteries to a TV remote though? I'd be fine with that. The Wiimote even did it with Wii Motion Plus. No fuss. To me that's more simple than forcing people to have to throw out their old Wiimotes and buy entirely new ones.
