"Games that don't pay for shelf space get bargain bin space, instead. This seriously compromises your ability to sell your title at a decent price." Not true. How do explain Playstation or Dreamcast games selling so well? They both come in standard size CD cases. Also, I bet games like The Sims, Starcraft etc. would have just as well if they came in smaller boxes.
1)In my experience the adolescents have an easier time doing hardware related things. 2)Remember that this isn't a computer we're talking about, and could be made much easier. Take for instance the Expansion pak on the N64: all that's involved in installing it is ripping out the old one and pluging it in. With that said, add-ons/upgrades have traditionally done horribly for consoles.
