okay after thinking about what i said i didn't word that very well sorry about that, yes i know adults are a big sale when it comes to the x-box community but a lot of 35 year olds do have family's and some of them just have a hard time just getting by what they make at whatever job they work it since shit is so expensive these days, with bills with the cost of living and if you have kids and are divorced alimony and stuff like that. i don't have kids and i'm over 35 and i don't have things like that to worry about. but i do miss the days when Systems being sold were far far cheaper. and they were great consoles too. at least the ones i bought anyways i think were. though i may buy the x this year cause i can also collect games from all 3 consoles i do have a 360 actually.

a lot the times i normally wait until the consoles get cheaper but that is an awfully long wait cause they take forever to go down in price. for example i got my Wii in (2011) and i wanted it cause well Zelda as i've been a fan of that game since i think (1989) when i 1st played the Original game and it's my favorite game of all time. i don't remember what that cost back than but it even than felt a lot to me, the NES i mean. as for the Demographic it's funny the way that is these days, as a kid in the 80's it was aimed towards kids and even into the 90's. i never had a Genesis or Atari it was Nintendo. than in the late 90's into the early 2000's it was aimed still towards kids and than the age changed to Teens as well when playstation came along and they put out games aimed towards teenagers and not just kids. yes teens are kids too but teens like 15 or 16 years old like Resident Evil for example isn't really a kids game though kids can play that one.

in the past decade or so it was by than aimed at people in their 20's mostly, the older i get i'm 38 at the moment it's aimed at 25-35 i think they said was the biggest fans they go for. not really Nintendo but X Box and Playstation. but they still put games out for kids as they should. the ratings system i can say was a great idea for parents who choose to look at it to say yes or not when it comes to their kids playing certain games. depending on their age of course, since the age bracket has changed so much in the past 10-15 years one wonders what it will be in another decade? since there's still people out there into their 40's and 50's who love gaming and who have loved it since the 2600 days. however the downside is the prices on these consoles the prices are getting higher and higher and it drives me nuts when i was talking a young guy at work and he thinks $400 bucks is cheap, i asked do you pay for the system? he's i think 22 or 23 and he still lives at home, he's also handicapped to a certain degree and is a big gamer as well. so he still lives at home with his folks and he goes no his folks buy him one.

that's him not knowing the value of a dollar i think. what worries me is that 10 years from now these consoles if we still even have them will cost $1,000 to buy and that's still to high for a console. $500 is half-way there as it is. what's funny is that the Jaguar which i think cost more back in the day was a flop cause of that, plus i hear it was an awful underpower system as well. i knew no one who had one i dunno if you did. but i am curious if fans will start bitching about the price since they did say this was the price when the X Bone came out. i wonder if that will hurt the sales ? Phil Spencer is a smart guy he actually i think listens to his fans as as much as i love Sony they need to do that more than they do. i guess time will tell, sorry about the rambling on this i was just trying to explain this a bit better i dunno if it came out the way i wanted it to or not. but i hope it did. as for the show yesterday really only like i think 5 or 6 of the 42 games caught my attention. i wonder if it will be more at Sony's tonight?

i was thinking along the lines of parents buying these consoles for their kids or people who don't have the money for them. i dunno how old you are but if i was a kid my folks would NOT spend the kind of money for an One X no matter how much i wanted it. me and my brother got a Wii for x-mas a few years back but it was i think $130 bucks and i think that was maybe the most they ever spent on a system for me. of the various systems i have most of them i've bought myself.

but my folks when i was a kid didn't make that much money so they could not afford the systems if they wanted to. i mean if my niece and Nephew wanted one they aren't going to buy one for them either. i think it depends on the person cause more people had jobs 10 years ago than they do now. for example it drives me nuts when i see people buy booze or smokes or consoles when they can't afford them. why? because they should spend it on stuff they need to live on instead of stuff like smokes or booze. not everyone lives that way thank god. on how poor a friend of mine i worked with was. they had no money their house really had no furniture at all but they had a huge ass tv. which they later sold to pay some bills but he could afford money for dope. go figure ya know?

this was when he was in his teens and in the early 2000's. so i dunno about now but back that's how he was living. i'm just saying that the price should be lower so the people who don't make much money or their folks depending on how old they are. they than can afford to buy one and they'd i think sell more One X's if it was cheaper. but i don't work for them so i have no control on how much the thing is going to be.

1stly i love Terry Crews that guy just makes me laugh. so i dunno if i'll buy that cause of him to be fair. but i've never played the first 2 games either, in fact i had never even heard of them before. in case if you are wondering if i've been living under a rock the answer is no, I'm a bigger fan of Playstation than i am of X Box and i only 1st played the 360 when i bought one used for $50 bucks last year. i fell in love with that and it got me to watch Microsoft's show last year which was great this one was i think a lot better. i do have bad things to say about it as well. 1stly i agree too much talk about the 4K which i get is one of the reasons why they made the system.

i get that but still far to much talk about it. Not Enough talk from Phil compared to last year when he stood on stage most of the time and talked. not complaining about them showing 42 games i loved that. not complaining them having so many Exclusives as they need that too. there were far too many of the games that just didn't interest me but a select few did at least so that's still better than none. some of the games i think should have had game play to show what the hell they were and some of them didn't have enough of it. Sea of Thieves isn't a game that interests me but to each their own who is going to buy that one.

as for the console price? i really really HATE IT. it's far far too much for it i think and it should have been at least $100 bucks cheaper at least. yeah i know it's more powerful than the PS4 i'm not going to argue with you on that. but with the way people who don't have the kind of money they did 10 years ago it's far far too much.

i wonder if the fans will complain about it like they did when the original X bone came out? do i plan on getting one? I've thought about it and before i watched it my mind was torn between the X and the S and has been for the past year actually. i held off buying the S last year because 2 reasons 1 i had just bought the PS4 last May.

and i love it. so it was far far far too soon to get another console. but after watching that show i will prolly end up getting one and i've already started saving up for it. so far i've got $230 bucks put aside for it. and i've got time before it comes out so i can add a little here and a little there each paycheck.

the only thing off the top off my head that i pay attention leaving cars out since i don't own one, that i pay attention to price dropping for me anyways is consoles. the rest of the stuff i buy depending on what it is, is price shop and wait for a good sale where i can better afford certain things hence why it's another reason why i don't buy consoles when they 1st come out. they are really out of my price range when they 1st come out

i think i wrote that when i came home from work yesterday and i was quite tired so i just plump forgot to use spaces on what i typed as i was really tired

also last year was the 1st year since i started gaming way back in (1988) when i fell in love with the NES. that i paid any kind of attention to when stuff like that happens and prices lower. i've never bought a console the day it came out or the year because more often than not they still have plenty bugs in it at times. when for example i bought my PS3 in (2010) i was ready to upgrade my system and there was a lot of games i wanted to buy that i can't remember if they were on the PS2 or not.

so this is the 2nd year which i'm waiting for to see how much the scorpio is and the details and such etc.. and how much the One S will be as well after that's announced at E3. before last year i just hoped they'd lower the price and at times they took so many years to do it that by the time they did it another console would be coming out.

which is why i can say that it was nice having the PS3 be the main system for 3 years before the PS4 came out. so in short i never in the past normally don't care how it works cause i wait awhile before i buy the current console, like i 'm glad i didn't buy the original X Bone cause on how much hate for it there seems to be. and i get that actually from what i've seen online. but as for people waiting, well people still bought the One S even if they did already own an X Bone. plus they are no doubt getting the Scorpio as well..

well some people anyways.

oh sorry i wasn't trying to confuse anyone sorry about that, i bought a regular PS4 because for one thing i was impatient as i had waited long enough and couldn't wait until the PS4 Pro came out. what really pissed me off wasn't the fact that came out, it was the fact that Sony should have said in say March we are going to lower the price cause of the pro, or whatever it was called at the time will be a certain price if if that wasn't released. if they would have said in March or April that it's going to be another $50 bucks off i would have waited and bought it than. i do think that if Sony isn't careful they will over saturate the market with their stuff and people may get sick of them like Genesis did that back in the 90's. i'm also impatient that they don't reveal the price of the Scorpio and if they are going to again lower the price this time to the one S. cause i may get the one S. i just want to save myself some money if they are going to lower that say $50 bucks for example. though i am impatient on them saying how much the scorpio is going to be i'm not surprised they haven't since that will no doubt be revealed at E3. i hope this helped

your welcome, on how i am when it comes to games. i am really picky on what i buy cause i am good at certain types of games & lousy at others. 1st person games i am simply awful at because i can't see what's going around me and what's in front and behind me. which is why i love to play 3rd person cause when you play an Arkham game i've been playing Arkham Knight as of late and that's a 3rd person game in fact. like i could care less about the call of duty games those have their fans i'm just not one of them. when i bought the bundle last year when i got my PS4 black ops i think 3 came with it and i haven't played it yet in fact because on how awful i am at those games. and besides i didn't buy the bundle for call of duty. i bought it cause it was the cheapest one best buys had at the time.

you can still find PS3 games new it just depends on what games you want and where you go. with the PS4 there's tons of games but it again depends on what you are looking for. i rarely buy digital games since i prefer to own the actual game. but the DLC i do buy. and when you download certain games i dunno if this has been said it depends on the size of the game. for example if you download a game like skyrim which is a HUGE game a HUGE game and people still discover new things in it each time they play it i hear. but i dunno how much room that would take if you count the game, prolly the DLC and prolly the online stuff to i have no idea how much is involved or how big that file would be since that isn't my type of game. but that may fill your game up if you get the original PS3. mine is the 500 mb. which is the 2nd model and it doesn't play the pS2 but that's okay cause i have a PS2 anyways. but i can still find and buy new Wii games in stores and they stopped making games for that what 3 or 4 years ago i think? leaving out that dance game and to throw a guess the sports ones.

i still see PS2 games in stores new as well but not many. in fact our Wall Mart has a good section for the ps3 games and the section may one day get smaller but i think it will be a good while before it really goes away. for PS3 try the ratchet and clank games, course the batman games those are fun as hell and if you are a fan of batman you will love those games. as for batman i prefer Asylum but to each their own. in fact a friend of mine surprised me by saying they thought City was terrible game. i don't think it is though. try the lego games as well if you are a fan those are fun as hell too. Injustice is a great one too with the sequel coming out this month i think?

1stly i never buy the system when it 1st comes out at all. i bought my PS2 in (2009) really only for one reason Ghostbusters the video game at that time had come out and i wanted it. plus it was only $50 bucks i think i bought it for and that's not bad ya know? a year later i bought the pS3 cause i think i saw certain games out that i wanted. i wasn't a hard core playstation fan until i bought my PS3. and so when they said they weren't releasing the PS4 for 3 years in (2010) i was excited as hell because that meant i didn't have to rush out and worry about new games on another system to get i got to enjoy it longer and i still love my PS3 in fact.

plus it was a good run on how long the PS3 at that time had come out by the time the PS4 had come out. i was watching well listening to a stream and someone on there made a good point. and this was tonight by the way, they said that if Sony is Smart they won't release the PS5 next year because they put the pro out plus the 1TB and i forget what else, the thing that i agree on is when they said that if they aren't careful they will do what Genesis did back in the day and over saturate the market with various systems and it pretty much killed them by doing that. and i do agree with that. they were guessing that in (2019) the PS5 will come out and that's a bit better than coming out with one next year. that'd be 6 years since the PS4 came out and that's how long it took for the PS3 to come out. and i don't want to come out with one for a couple years because there's so many games that are exclusives that i want to play/buy that aren't out yet or are already out. such as Spider man and i'm still waiting to see what that will be released but on that i have no doubt will be revealed at E3 i'm sure. it's not always coming to the party in a manner of speaking late.

you forgot one thing too my friend, when the PS4 1st came out many bought it thinking it was going to be better than it turned out to be. i don't own a pro like i said already, but i've heard it was nothing but shit and very underpowered compared to the scorpio which to me sounds like a rush job wanting to make money while they can before that comes out this fall. i have no idea if i'm right or not or even if the pro is shit or not. as for those who buy it today? people like you said want the best system out there and i'm sure it's still very easy to find the original PS4 to buy new if they really want it.
