IMO even the Nintendo DS or Gameboy Advance are luxury goods. The PS3 price will come down eventually, maybe at the point they release a cheap slimline version you will feel happy about the initial futureproof PS3 specs and probably a good amount of older PS3 titles could be bought at budget prices and likewise Blu-Ray movies will be available at cheaper prices. |
I haven't said that is primary need, but that isn't DVD:s or books either, or do you see books as a luxury item?. Still those medias sell to many more housholds than game consols. Give me one reason for beliving that a 600 USD, 600€ or 6000 SEK consol will change that. I might also say that a BMW M5 might be a luxury item, that doesn't make a Toyota Aygo a luxury item.
This future proof thing is also very funny. Well I belive that you own a Wii so you are not guilty for this but why is it ok to play with PS3 graphics for 10 years meanwhile every die-hard sony fan on this site is saying that in 2009 Wii will drop in sales just because it has gamecube graphics? What is the different 10 years of gamecube graphics untill 2011 or 10 years of PS3 graphics untill 2017?
The truth according to me is that the winning consol is future proof which is the reason why PS2 still is selling.
Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!
