WTF is up with the next gen consoles

first of all I heard they are going all out with hardware specs (mind you revolution is doing that as well) but now there's all tehse attachments coming out. Like guylebrown said "a harddrive" wtf you need that for. I want a gaming system not a fricken PC. I want a console so I can play my games.

I want a console not a home appliance.
I want to play games , not watch DVD's
I want to play with my friends whenever I want, not have some gamer card
I dont want to buy fricken seperate hard drives for a console



With all of that, Microsoft Is going to lose a lot of money. The starting unit for Xenon in my prediction will be atleast $500-$600 on release date which is a lot of money. Think about it if it costs $300 to make an X box then it would cost more to make a Xenon? Correct? So lets say not enough units are being sold so they start selling Xenon for $300, sounds good for the average gamer but guess what. Microsoft loses $200-$300 for each console sold! That's a lot of money when u count it in the millions. Then What if Xenon is like $1000! Who's going to but that?

Same with Sony as well, god damn it with all these pc upgrades, I just want a gaming system.


Nintendo, well can't get mad with them YET. They want to go innovation but they didn't release anything. Yet I begin to Fathom how will they good if they dont get third party support.

But will there be THIRD PARTY SUPPORT IN THE NEXT GEN CONSOLES? I guess so, but dont expect a lot of games to release. Why? because it costs more money for teh developers to make a game, so if they fail, they lose money.

WRONG

the reason xenon hd comes seperately is so the xenon can sell at a lower price

so im geussing around 300

the only reason xbox lost money for each unit sold was cuz of the cost of putting in a hardrive

so buy seeling it seperately they eliminate that problem and ppl dont even need a hard drive for xenon its completely optional

so when it all comes toegther its really good for microsoft and for the ppl (considering lower price than with hd)

you honestly think a next gen console with better graphics, cards, drivers will be for $300...?

You know the higher the quality, the more it will cost. So why didn't microsoft put those $300 requirements for the Xenon in the X box? it's the same price..


The Xenon will price for atleast $500 I can see $450 as well. Note also Playstation 2 sold for about $600 at release date.

LOL harddrives are a necessity in a console. Look at Nintendo. They lost money having memory cards, thats' why the next console will have a harddrive to actually not lose money. That's exactly whats PS3 doing. They stopped having memory cards. Not your saying it's not optional for teh Xenon to have a harddrive. Every Xenon user like me (yes) will have to buy the harddrive sooner or later.
