How To Make A Next-Gen Console Sell

| |

To accompany my dying need for an AIO solution, here's just a few things developers can do to improve the current state of console depression:

  1. Make a console that's easy for developers to port.
  2. Limit new redesigns and upgrades to 1 every 3 years.
  3. Integrate open-source media file support.
  4. Make internal hard drives SATA swappable.
  5. Make it as power efficient as hell.
  6. Give us more than 2 color choices.
  7. Do NOT charge for online connectivity.
  8. Have HDMI out. The more ports the better.
  9. Stop the format war and make a standard HD media.
  10. Give the console PC and Mac support.
  11. Make games downloadable for cheap (~$20). Then, allow gamers to return finished games for rebates for other games (~$10). This encourages a constant turnover in purchases and gamers don't feel like they are wasting time or money.
  12. Make VoiP/voice messaging support standard.
  13. Include TiVo abilities.
  14. Make rumble, wireless controllers standard.
  15. Beta test it and don't release it until it's ready.
