I totally agree - there are many influences at play when someone is choosing a new console. Hardware is but one. I just don't get this opinion of some that MS giving the consumer meaningful options within their skus is a bad thing. MS need to differentiate themselves and a value-sku would be one way to do that. Their great value subscription model is another. Output from a host of newly acquired studios is another. Will it be enough to improve on their showing this gen - they're giving themselves a good chance!

1) That is because the good way to differentiate yourself is by your library of exclusives not by making a very weak baseline that will hold out your other model.

2) Sorry won't reply to you, you start claiming dodging point and not reading your points you won't be a good person to argument with, so if you want to claim win and that MS strategy will do wonders, be my guest.

1) There's more than 1 way to differentiate yourself - again, binary thinking. You have also failed to prove that a weaker GPU running games at reduced resolutions (and if necessary lower frame-rate) would result in significant restrictions overall to developers.

2) I'm a fine person to argue with if the other person involved is making coherent points and isn't intent on (consciously or otherwise) misrepresenting my points. Most recent example is "if you want to claim that MS strategy will do wonders" - where have I said anything that equates to that? You are saying that 2 skus are a bad idea, I'm saying that they're not - simple.

Anyway, probably best we leave it there - hopefully MS takes this approach, executes it well and the figures will show who is ultimately correct.
