If anything, there are more people who wouldn't understand why I and others spend so much money on hardware, and are more likely to belittle me for doing so when they can get hardware that "look as good" for a much lower price. You can already see plenty of it here. But that's the difference between the average gamer and the enthusiast. Like anything that involves hobbyists and casual users, there is a big divide in mentality between those who think "good enough" and those who want all the latest stuff (just look at headphones and the audiophiles whom 99.9% of headphone users don't understand). So unless you're one of the very few who do it for an actual hobby, you're the average user. You're simply looking for any negative connotation behind that term.

    Fact of the matter is, there is a distinct difference in mid-range and high-end. Regardless of price-performance ratio, bang-for-buck, whatever, this is a fact. So you can get a piece of hardware that can play the game at max settings for $400. That's wonderful! I am absolutely thrilled that people get to experience the game the way PC gamers do, because I also play on PS3 a lot and it sucks so bad that I can't wait to buy a PS4 for myself. But it's not high-end.
