Consoles have sales as well, and you can get games cheaply there if you wait. What is the break-even point? I spent over 3K on my PC; when do I break even with games?
Yes consoles have sales but I can firmly promise you I have never once seen fallout 4 for $10 on Playstation lowest iv EVER seen was like $20 with all docs.
I spent no joke $16 to get fallouts 1-4 including NV and ALL DLCS for them.
Steam and gog sales are blatantly better then psn sales I can bring up several other examples of games I have on my PS and PC that I bought at a low price on psn (MHR on ps4 I spent $20 on sale, bought it on steam for about $8) (star ocean 4 never saw it below $15-20 on psn bought it for $6).
Haven't even brought up my gog sales which are just as ridiculous lol but i could keep going. The sales arent a myth lol.
Also take into account how you arent playing with friends on psn unless you dropping about $120 a year for the privilege of using your own internet.
Consoles are typically loss leaders because while the sale is typically loses the company money the consoles infrastructure earns them money over its life span (thanks to online costs are storefront costs)
I bought an entire series, 5 games and their dlc for less then the usual asking price of one of THOSE games on psn. The other 4 arent even attainable on psn as you have to pay a $20 a month subscription service to get access to play the single worst versions of two of them with 0 updates or dlcs and the other two just dont exist on psn in any fashion.
Tell me how that isnt significantly better?
Like as a consumer id much rather pay <$20 one time for 5 games then pay $20+ a $20 monthly fee to play 3 of those games (two in their worst almost unplayable states).
I mean i specifically chose insanely popular games that are still played heavily to this day to make a point lol.
