Perception to the casuals in the U.S at the moment....
Kinect is something new to them so its grabbing them. Cheapest xbox model 199.99
The wii has hit market saturation but by selling it for 149.99 during the holidays you're going to sell.
Ps3 is for the older crowd for gaming and bluray. Cheapest model is 249.99.
Kinect did a good job catching the casuals eye. I seen lots of mothers and grandmothers buying the console because of kinect.
I'm picking this game up when I get the Vita. Always love the hot shots series
Easy way to get sales. The arcades sell the most obviously because its 199
You can use your ps3 to save everything on there. And whatever game you feel like playing you just transfer the games to the memory card. Its especially good if you're running tight on the remaining memory in your memory cards
Yeah that bundle is a good deal. I don't care much for little deviants though. I want to get Hot Shots Golf and Gravity Daze on day 1. I might need to get a screen protector though. But yeah I can see why going with the bundle is better. I might get it too now that I think about it because it comes out a week early
I'm picking up the $250 model with 4GB memory which is more than enough.
don't forget Too Human and Forza
Back at e3 $250 was a steal to everyone now since you have to spend a little extra on memory cards now its a big deal. I plan on getting the $250 model with the 4GB memory card for $30. 4GB's is all you need. What's the big deal? It's funny that people can buy rechargeable battery packs and pay for monthly xbox live just to play there games online with no problems. Vita lets you do all of that and have 6-player party chat all for free. People can spend 500-600 dollars on ipads and...
Instantly day 1 buy
During this gen. Install base
1. Wii (cheapest) 90 Mil
2 360 (2nd Cheapest) 58 Mil
3. Ps3 (Most expensive) 56 Mil
You guys can disagree all you want but price means alot. 3DS was selling like shit but once they dropped the price now its selling.
stating facts. You mean to tell me hardcore gamers are coming out to buy 6 yr old systems? Wake up. I've seen lots of ppl buying the 360 w/kinect for there kids. There's nothing wrong with that MS did a good job marketing to the casuals.
actually Wii does. Check the install base
the wii get most of there sales during the holidays now because that's when the casuals come out in spades. Its like a toy just like the kinect. Kinect sales were stagnant for the whole year until now which is the holiday season.
The wii is the cheapest console. Price means alot
by mid 2013 they should pass them
I think PS4/720 will be in 2013
I cant wait for the vita
this
All Sony needs to do is offer free online, free party chat, have enough ram for a great interface/features. And come out the same time as there competitor with the same price. Price matters because for most of this gen ps3 was the most expensive console.
Thank these so called gaming "journalist" in the U.S for that mindset.
1. Pay a monthly subscription just to play games online.
2. The only HDD's you can buy on xbox are Microsofts which are overpriced.
3. Controllers that come with AA batteries.
A: Either keep buying AA batteries
B: Buy a recharger
4. For like the first 4 years of this gen in order to have wi-fi on your xbox you need to purchase this $100 add-on...
