Why are console players so fucking retarded, I genuinely don't get it.

>ps3 price
>$600
>this is outrageous

>ps4 price
>$400 + $50 * 5 = $650 (practically everyone plays online)
>100 percent acceptable

Do they literally not think more than 1 sec ahead?

You are comparing one time purchase to a 5 year membership to something, youre retarded

>>378441361
Yeah a near compulsory 5 year membership for almost everyone. Why the fuck do you think the xbox was so much cheaper at launch?

>>378441179

You're comparing money at two different time periods.

$600 in 2006 was $730 in 2017 dollars.

$400 in 2014 is $420 in 2017 dollars.

it's funny how PS3 had no games at launch yet when the switch had literally only one game everybody defends it.

>>378441179
I have never paid for ps plus. What makes you think I play multiplayer games on my PS4?

>>378441590
$1 = $1, unless you're Valve

>almost everyone
Pic is for before some retard blatantly lies and says no one else plays online

>>378441179
PS3 had Demon's Souls
PS4 has Bloodborne
They're worth every cent if you aren't a fucking casual

>>378441179
I do not play online on PS4, every single worthwhile exclusive is single player.

>I've never heard of inflation before

>>378441702
>he doesn't know what inflation is

>>378441882
>>378441864
Inflation is a made-up excuse to enable sellers to charge you more for the same thing. If you're an uninformed consumer who buys consoles first-hand (and possibly at launch), you're a fucking idiot.

>>378441590
for me it's all the same since I don't really earn much more money than 11 years ago and everything else costs more, so I have less for video games

JUST

>he thinks 600 dollars is a lot of money

to put it in perspective, you'll go see a movie at the price of 10-20 bucks. 30-60 movies can be seen for the price of a ps4. 30-60 movies is 60-120 hours of entertainment. i would assume anyone who buys a console will use it longer than 60-120 hours in its lifetime

>>378440972
>$100 for 40gb
lol

>>378442414
that's not all

the 20GB model didn't have wifi builtin

not that I'd care for wifi on a console that's right next to my router

>>378442615
>>378442414
oh and, the 60GB model had card readers, which the 20GB also didn't have

so wifi, +40GB, and card readers kinda explain the price gap

better off with a 20GB and adding your own hdd if you didn't need any of those though

>>378442414
Companies like to pull this shit as if nobody would notice. The basic Wii U model was a bad deal as well. And vita memory cards.

>this was 22 years ago and nobody will remember it because it has been overshadowed by 599
