The PS2 sold ~81.89 Million units after it had a price cut to $149 (more than half it's sales), so it was cheap in its own right. It also had a lot of games and capabilities to satisfy most. That generation likely had the least multi-console owners just by looking at the dominance of the PS2, but when both the Wii and PS3/X360 succeeded multi-console ownership probably increased a lot too. The introduction of intermittent consoles like PS4 pro and looming Scorpio is likely shake up the traditional console cycle anyways and might influence a change in buying patterns. If the NX can somehow entice people with something compelling when people are looking at new hardware then they might have a chance. |
It may, but not as the weak hardware.
