10 Commandments of Console Launches
Gaming Nexus has looked back at the recent launch frenzies and come up with a few commandments to make the next launches go more smoothly. I think number one is the most important. It’s one thing to cause hype and create a big fuss, but it’s another when people are robbing and injuring people for consoles. The summary of the commandments are posted here, but do head over to their site and read the expanded explanations.
1. Thou shall not force us to kill for your system, thou shall have at least 600,000 units at launch.
2. Thou shall have enough accessories to go with the system.
3. Honor the father and the mother, do not charge more than $350 for thy next system.
4. You shall not bear false witness against your system specs.
5. You shall not steal extra money from us by not including key components in the box.
6. Remember a gaming day and keep it holy (release new online content on a consistent basis).
7. You shall not covet your neighbors’ titles – make sure you have at least three solid first party launch titles.
8. You shall not commit gaming adultery; backwards compatibility should be an all or nothing deal.
9. Thou should have good tech support and a solid replacement policy in place for defective units.
10. Future launches will launch with one, and only one, SKU.
