From an outsiders perspective it seems fairly obvious doesn’t it? That the key thing that us gamers care about is just the games. The point that I am making is a result of data from the following survey<\/a>. 6,260 next gen console owners were involved in the survey, from ages 6-44. It shows that gamers do not have very much interest in the multimedia features of consoles but rather the games.<\/p>\n
