If this was really about getting games for a good price, I got a playstation 3 2nd hand for 140$ and got 10 games I actually wanted for another 80.

Ultimately, if you want games on a console for cheap, there's a way. And bear in mind, the steam sales are on older games. Sure you'll get it for 10$ on steam, but you can get it second hand on a console with a controller for a much more affordable platform for 10$ also.

So if he never actually never wanted Nintendo and MS games, Steam has no bearing on it whatsoever. To me it tells me he was spending too much for his games in the first place.
