Nobody buys a console at launch ---> Console gets very little developer interest since Last Gen has an infinitely bigger audience ---> Console doesn't get the games it needs to spread its wings ---> Heavy losses, console may even be deprecated like the Virtual Boy was
Sorry guys, but I disagree. While I do believe that buying consoles at launch is risky, we do need early adopters and launch consoles do have advantages. Not only are those the first to be hacked more often than not, sometimes they have additional functionality that'll be cut from future revisions.
Both "buying at launch" and "buying later" have their advantages, everything depends on which camp you belong to. I personally don't buy at launch unless I stumble upon a great value deal.
