It is ridiculous. Some of the international pricing for consoles and games really have me scratching my head at times, but hey; that's up to the bean counters at their respective corporations to decide how limited they want to make the market for their products in a given region. But for $2000, even as someone who games on console by default and prefers to use consoles for gaming, I would build a great gaming PC without a second thought instead. In that price range, I'd be pretty happy with what I could build. Of course I'm thinking in terms of the type of build I'd be able to put together based upon US prices for components, which I understand are also lower than in many other regions of the world. I'd still be missing out on the console exclusives, which were among my most played over the past 6-7 years though. No amount of money thrown into a PC would change that. Of course, I'd never throw that kind of money into a console just so I could play those titles. |
I'm with you there. While I also prefer consoles due to the easiness of it all, if I had to pay $2000 then I would play on PC for sure. I nfact when I bought DCU Online on PS3 and then the same game on the PC, the difference was night and day. While the PS3 version wasn't bad by any means, the performance on the PC was light years ahead and made it hard to go back. Again a MMO is harder to play on a console without keyboard and mouse and adding to a console while sitting on the couch is not an ideal option.
