[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6144548, member: 8835"] I think this touches on a part of the perception problem. For a serious gamer (non-PC), they own a PS3 or 360. They have internet that is always on. They can afford $60 games. tablets, mobile phones, Wii's just aren't in the picture of consideration. they may own these devices, but that's not what they turn to for a marathon session of talking smack and killing their friends on COD. By all means, the market for Ps4/Xbone will be shrinking a bit by the loss of the "less dedicated" to these lesser alternatives. In any case, the Xbone/PS4 (or even PS3/360) wasn't built for the less dedicated anyway. Folks who have to penny-pinch to get a Xbone/Ps4 should be buying an Ouya or Wii or prior-gen console. Same for folks who fret about a $7/month cost for a Live Gold subscription. Or if they have to cancel their internet connection sometimes to pay other bills. Now that attitude that the top-end consoles are for well to do people only goes so far, but there is some merit to it. If you're going to get into top-end gaming, you gotta be able to pay the price of admission. I think the PS4 did a better job of maintaining the expected price of $400. The PS3 made the mistake of pricing itself beyond what folks would accept paying for a top-end machine, which its competitor was in the "right" range. At this point, my wife is still sold on the Xbone. I haven't seen any significant materials on the PS4 (I don't care to look at game demos, as that's like one of my old people saying "I need a new computer that can surf the web." No duh! [/QUOTE]
