I fear they are probably right. Despite what all our opinions may be about the thing, my bet is that the console is still going to do very well.

True it doesn't mean they have to neglect our views/opinions.
Too true, I had a somewhat lengthy discussion about a friend about the 2 consoles PS4 and Xbox One about where each of us leaning. I cited all the anti-consumer policies (the way I perceive them) as the main reason for avoiding the One. And he referenced the quality he's experienced with the 360 as being the main reason he's leaning towards it, even if my argument is that the 360 and the One are 2 completely different things, he even mentioned that I'm just critiquing without having used the console.
In any case this showed me how nonchalant and complacent the average consumer is towards how companies treat them. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly some consumers who will probably go for the One for legitimate reasons, but the average consumer doesn't actually consider the implications.
This should tell you something. Perhaps some of the voters have changed their minds since they voted, but it's still a good indication of which way people lean

Wow that thing is literally a PC. Even uses normal sata cables and all.
I dunno a console for me is a "poor mans PC", basically get all the power that is needed for gaming at a fraction of the cost but with all the limitations.
But we seeing as the bigger companies are putting all these limitations on us, you getting smaller indie companies making new consoles and taking us back to the way we use to play. I mean look at steam and how they working on a way to sell 2nd games, working towards the consumer instead of away.
I remember a time quite a few years ago, when AAA games were so cheap that u would go to the flea market and it was cheaper to buy the original then the copy. Make it cheap enough to buy games and there wont be a need to swap/pirate games
Oh and pls dont get upset that i called a console a poor mans PC, its just an example
