i have been thinking about what it would take for me to go next gen. How much would it cost? For me the answer is somewhat simple (based off of several things I believe might be true)
* Console price: $439.99
* Games (4-6/yr for 5 years): $1,540 - 2,310
* Prepaid Cards (replaces points unfortunately): $400-600
* Accessories: $140
Total: $2,520 - 3,050
Assumptions: console price $399.99 (may not happen), games $70 each. I would guess you could add another $300-500 if I would decide to go Xbox Live Gold (though I dislike, what do you call them, people). So (with Live Gold) $2,800-$3,500.
Ok, so this might be high, or I might be interested for more potential years. That is a frightening amount of money to me (without considering gold) about $500-$600 a year, though it would be heavily frontloaded.
To be honest, the last game I paid full price for was Fable the Journey (I should have waited a month). However, at a console launch you typically need something to play (the games i'm interested in so far are: Ryse, Forza 5 and Quantum Break).
