For gamers that's fine, but non-gamers won't jump into the contract and as this gen has shown companies can't be successful with the hardcore gamers only.

wii sold tons at 250$ and lowering the price never gave it a huge boost, remember the first year they only really need the hardcore to buy there system.

What I'm saying is that non-gamers won't jump into the subscription program no matter the price. Like I said many times before unless the console offers a ton more things than just pure gaming the contract base model won't work.

Doesn't seem logical (or cheap) to use all that on one console...


its seems they will be taking a 100$ loss on each console sold at 399$ but remember they will be doing the cell phone plan type of deal, its the right thing to do, just cause the wii changed that for one generation doesnt mean it will become the norm, just watch the wii u be a colossal failure.

I fear you may actually be serious here. This is what concerns me.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Was the 360 MS's last console ?

If not then I don't see why this one should be since it's equally advanced as the 360 in 2005.

All that power (For a console) and all you are going to get are re hashes like Call of Duty 10 or Halo 13, it's starting to sound like a series of Jaws movies now, pretty dire

LOL, yes what are you looking forward, take away mario and zelda, and what do you have with wii u, no third party support and last gen graphics, atleast on the new xbox  we will get every single third party game with amazing graphics, not mention halo5, forza5 and gears of war 4 which will all be amazing games.
