NPD report proves it's all about the games
Posted by XanTium | November 15 00:12 EST
 
From the press release:
[QUOTE]
According to Next Generation Purchase Intent, a report just released by The NPD Group, specific "must-have" features are so important to some consumers that they would be willing to buy a next generation (next-gen) video game console as soon as it becomes available, regardless of price. Appealing game titles is by far the most important feature, with 87 percent of respondents claiming this as their number one concern, followed by backwards compatibility at 68 percent.

"Price is definitely a factor, but not as much as is content," said Anita Frazier industry analyst, The NPD Group. "I've long been a believer that it isn't any particular technical capability that will win this next console battle. The story continues to be content."

If you look at the past consoles the ones that won had the best games and the most variety to choose from. PS2 beat Xbox and GCN since it has like more top titles than both of them combined.
