I also thought a controller for 150 would be suicidal.
And why is 499 the magic barrier? I think there are many grown up gamers with a good income
who would buy a console above 499.
Of course it´s not the best strategy if you have only one console to sell, but there will be 4 at that time / and at least 2.
So you can cover some prices for example 199, 299, 399 and whatever. Why not serve the premium segment if
the core is covered?
Maybe it´s because of the expectations of the customers regarding consoles, but I don´t know where this comes from and i think it´s very old fashioned.
It´s like the assumption only Kids will buy consoles
But it´s not like that anymore!
Is there any magic barrier for smart phones? Is a smart phone too expensive if it´s priced above 400€?
is it a problem that there are 3 or 4 different iterations of one model at the same time?
Is it a problem that the last 3 generations are supported at the same time?
Does anyone feel left behind because he can´t afford the iPhone XS Max 512GB?
It´s not like they can´t make a call or write a whats app with a 200€ Samsung Smartphone.
It´s like with all goods, I can afford some and some not.
If it´s not impossible by the nature of the product you can buy everything you think about in different variations, quality, etc.
Even meat, but consoles, noooooo:)
it´s fascinating
