Kind of what happens when you start talking about a new version when the last one still really isn't getting games.
Look at the "new releases" and the majority are PS4 or early that get "remade" and a new release date, or just straight shovelware.
You forgot jacked the price on games up because reasons
Eh, the MSRP isn't a big worry for me, that makes sense
What sucks about PlayStation pricing is they keep MSRP except for sales for way too long.
Like, I saw last year's Madden for $12 and almost got it, then it went off sale and back to $70 like a new one isn't coming out in a few months.
Rather than off sale prices slowly going down
Are you blaming Sony for EAs game pricing?
...
You think it's just EA games?
Did EA force Sony to release games at $70? Lol wtf
Games being $70 may not affect your decision making but it does for a lot of people. Half of all Americans make less than 40k a year. People see a $70 game and just hard pass.
See, but this doesn't really hurt Nintendo's sales. The problem is there just really are no games on PS5 worth playing that you can't play somewhere else.
Eh, games have been $50-60 for literal decades, despite inflation and the massive increase in expected content. Everything else I can get behind, but games should be more expensive than they were.
Hard disagree. Games are substantially more profitable than they've ever been. The user base has gone up massively and manufacturing costs have gone down with the digital era.
Even when they raise the prices, they don't get rid of the battle passes and DLCs.
I already got a PC. Why should I buy another big bulky thing just to play a few extra games?
You shouldn't buy a Tesla...
No one suggested you buy one of those, but no one suggested you buy a PS5 either.
What the actually fuck were you attempting to say? Because all I can get is that you are a fan of word salad.
