The big driver of sales as Pachter sees it is the game consoles not just complementing but entirely replacing your cable box. These consoles won't cut the cable; they'll destroy the monopolistic grip your cable company has over you and your neighbors. Instead of being stuck with whoever owns the rights to cable in their region, consumers will be able to pick and choose which cable company gives them the best package....Pachter scoffs at the idea that Sony and Microsoft are simply updating their consoles. He thinks these boxes will give consumers a level of choice they couldn't even imagine just a couple years ago. The ability to personalize you cable lineup and pay for only content you want, so-called a la carte pricing, will finally have arrived.

MSFT is supposed to announce the next Generation of Xbox next week. I don't have much hope that such technology will be ready, but if so it could be a game changer, though I imagine that if such technology was brought to market that the cable companies would fight this tooth and nail. This is one area that I would like to see Congress get involved (though they would probably end up screwing it up) and breakup the power that cable companies have.

Personally, I own video game consoles as they are a fun distraction for me and are a way for me to cool off in the evenings.

You want to make some fast cash then flip xboxes at the end of the year. I hope they come out in November. I got five racks to hit a quick lick this year. Side hustle baby.

Does anybody know when the playstation is coming out?

There are none! Just buy a cheap gaming PC, you will have access to more games than any other platform. Besides,people who own consoles waste hours on Black Ops and Halo.

I'm not getting a PS4 until Roosh Five the Game or Leisure Suit Gmanifesto comes out for it.

I like my xbox for movies and music as well as playing games sometimes. The kinect is the shit, I just tell my xbox to pause or rewind an that shit listens. When I brought my xbox to the Philippines an would watch movies with girls an then be like Ima go grab a drink you want anything, then say Xbox pause an that shit paused those girls looked at me like I was George Jetson an flew to Davao on a spaceship.
