You can't charge for consoles more than they already are. I mean, you can't put a price tag of ~1200$ on next gen console, unless you want them to collect dust in storage.

They'll do anyway.
Remember how expensive the X1 was in the beginning?
There are always crazy people who cash the price tag out, no matter what it is.
Then, they drop the price to flush the stucked volumes.
Happens every time.

Well the h/w seriously needs to keep up to allow for more elaborate games and media content otherwise I cannot take it seriously as I still want h/w that does much more and currently PC/laptops do it and far more with broader time scales + makes me coin. Very Happy

Actually I don't remember Razz Mostly because not a lot of fucks are given for consoles by me. I think, and I am probably wrong, that both m$ and $ony price them @ ~600$ at launch, no?

well that's a different thing and hardly a replacement for someone who wanted PS4 or XB1... Smile Though, steambox is also piece of crap anyway.

They could have used anything for communication...It's just the fact that those particular fuckers could afford PS4s and probably used them for gaming before all this.
