New Gaming Technology

http://walyou.com/ps4-game-console/

This is the link to view what's next in the videogaming world. Our world has seen nothing like Sony's Playstation 4 that is set to release towards the end of 2014. The newest gaming console will be the perfect combination of Xbox Kinect, 3D television and the newest and latest gadgets and features. My question to any gamer is how much are you willing to pay for this? I myself am limited to an Xbox 360 with no 3D capabilities and no Kinect feature, which is like a high-def Wii. I am not a serious gamer, but can't say i wouldn't love to get my hands on one of these. But i guarantee the starting price for this console will be no less than $1000, and then you have to buy the 3D TV, which is another $2000, and I'm sure the games will probably be around $100 a piece, so just the startup cost is over $3000 at least. To me that just isn't worth it. To think now-a-days that what began wit ha simple paddle moving a line up and down a TV screen to hit a ball transforms to som ething this hightech and expensive in only 40 years! this is a classic example of techn ology growing exponentially, and who knows when or if it will ever stop.

It's about how the company can maximize their profit. If there is evidence that plenty of people will pay for all of this, then they will require all of this. But if consumers said that they didn't want to buy a new TV and will only pay $300 -$500 tops for a new system, well then that's what price they will offer the consoles at. It's not like they aren't making a profit still, electronics have an extremely high profit percentage.
