Gamers are in a different demography from movie watchers altogether.
Most Joe 6 pack movie watchers just want to watch movies with minimum
hassle. But gamers won't mind checking out the specs of the consoles
and such. Gamers are a lot more dedicated and technical oriented than
movie watchers.

To gamers, the console is a toy that deliver pleasure to them. But
movie watchers don't consider their players a source of joy and hence,
they don't want to deal with their players' specs at all.
