| Intrinsic said: There are like what? around 60M PS4 owners? Lets say around 50M at the time of the PS4pro reveal..... there will be a lot of people saying they dont see the need for a console that could mean they would get inferior versions of games for the console they already have at home. And the trolls would have fanned those fears to hell and back. On the Xbox side..... well, with how things were going they would have taken anything... so of course its a good idea. I mean, anything is better than nothing right? |
Perhaps the hardcore XBox crowd was already conditioned into buying console refreshes due to the RRod :) Last gen there were plenty people that kept buying every new version (and selling the old one), hdmi out, pro, premium, elite, super elite, S, to reduce the chances of getting rrod. Plus special themed editions. They must have been restless with years of no upgrades!
Meanwhile in the playstation camp, a revision meant fewer features. No more BC, no more card reader, no more other OS, a frigging top dics loader. The full phat ps3 always stayed the most desirable (with a HDD upgrade) I'm still sad it died, while I wasn't that upset when my 360 died since I got a free HDMI port out of it! (After foolishly spending about $250 on high quality component cables running to my projector through the walls and ceiling for the 360 and its hd-dvd player add-on)
