Gaming console gaming fans are mistreated and taken advantage of

[Liquid]

The consoles are the way they are because its what the market wanted.

The console gaming market has let it be known:
We will not pay more than $400 for a console, period. Don't tell them about the value proposition as they don't care. If they wanted to cross that $500+ line they will just hop on the superior platform (PC).

They want to keep physical media (which increases production costs + higher failure rates)

Don't bother giving them things that won't really be of much use in gaming (The motherfukking Kinect is the answer here)

That's it really. What else did you want Sony/Microsoft to do and still make money? They aren't in this business to be friends with you...they need to make money.

Let them milk the retards for all they're worth. The graphics fags hold just as much blame as the greedy ass companies. I can't stand gaming on a PC but I'll be damned if I don't admit to it being the best way to go this gen. Sony wanted to sell the ps3 with 2 cell processors but they knew the broke motherfukkers couldn't sell off enough belongings to afford it.

Understand where you are coming from but these consumers expect PC performance. I dont know what happen this gen but the want 1080P 60FPS easily. Is it the lack of education?

True indeed

Think about it..

There is no reason why the PS4 controller battery is worst than PS3 dualshock

There is no reason why games cant reach 60FPS after 15 plus years in the gaming industry. (Micro/Sony)

Why pay for a service that goes down the regular Live and PSN.

Games are coming out unfinish like this shyt is getting out of hand

Yeah I'm not gonna lie that light bar is fukking stupid

I have yet to understand why it's there

 

[duckbutta]

If you take into consideration the hardware put into next gen consoles vs how much they are charging for it then it's one of the biggest ripoff markets their are...

Couple that with the if you open the system it voids your warranty and the inablity to customize games on damn near any scale and shyt is just

Only console I see myself buying in the future is a nintendo console and that is because mario , zelda, and mario kart just have a certain charm to them that no game i have ever played can match...

track movement better (like PS Move)

Yes, it's dumb.

The light bar is for the PSVR. Jesus Christ.

Yeah it helps track movement just like ps move sticks.

It's dumb IMO, way too much of an impact on battery life.

I kinda agree with the phone argument. Some people throw down $600 a year on a new phone. I get one every 2 years, but it's subsidized, so it doesn't "feel" like I'm paying $600 for my new iPhone.

Spending $400 every three years seems ok to me. I think it'll push innovation too.

PC gamers blow more than that on new CPUs and GPUs every 1-3 years.

If we put it in cell phone terms, that's only $133 a year for a new console. That's a night out for some people. It's really not that bad

 

[be back in a bit]

meh i have a PS4 and a decent gaming PC and I enjoy both.

People got very spoiled last generation. An upgrade every 4 years or so is about normal.

Agreed

 

[Fatboi1]

It's not even that serious.

when people bring up "I'm going to PC" as if there is no need to upgrade or w/e it's funny. A new GPU is coming out for $379 this year will be much faster than a $1000 GPU that came out last year and dudes bytching about "That's a L!" and other dumb shyt. A year later and something better at a fraction of the price drops

I'd be mad if the PS4 Neo drops for $150 and is much more powerful than a $400 PS4 but that's not what's happening here.

PS4 controller has that stupid light on it and a touchpad, thats two reasons why it would have less battery life.

A game reaching 60 fps has little to do with the console itself and damn near everything to do with the game developer. 2 generations from now we will still have games running at 30 fps because there will ALWAYS be graphical gains you can achieve by sacrificing the frame rate, ALWAYS.

Wait people are really spending $500-$600 a year for minor upgrades to their cell phone? I figured everybody did the phone contract thing. No way you can compare the 2. I'm still getting my free phone every 2 years with my contract.

I'd rather they just sell me a $400-$500 console and make the shyt upgradeable somehow. Like come out with a new chip/graphics card that can easily be swapped out for $100-$200 every few years. That would make me feel alot better than having to replace this big ass console box and throwing it in the bushes. Makes me feel like the original console that I purchased still has value. Just lie to me and make me feel better about my purchase
