Well according to phil at e3, he and his team who developed the X “will once again deliver on their commitment to set the benchmark for console gaming”.
So sounds like he wants to build a beast for next gen as they did with the X. If they go that route for next gen, we could be looking at another $499 console. I wouldn’t mind personally. I hope they build a next gen monster. |
I hope for a "next gen monster" too. But, I also hope that the platform owners have learned the $399 lesson. That is: if it costs more than $399 to buy in to your ecosystem, people will go elsewhere.
And, yeah, inflation and all that, I know. Still $500, at least to many of us in the US, starts to feel like a serious investment. The average human brain doesn't adjust the price to 1985 dollars and compare the inflation adjusted cost to every console ever released. It just says "$500.....shit, that's a lot"
