You read what was in your mind, not what I wrote...

The topic is building a PC that outperforms a PS4/X1, so all your PS3 comments... I rest my case.

About the price of the games, one can only compare prices of new games on launch, I've seen people arguing about 2nd hand market, wich is not a valid comparison, if I find an idiot that sells me his Steam account with 100 games for $10 what does it prove? Marcket prices of new games is the only way to go.

When you annalyse patterns you have to evaluate averages & the most common behaviour, not the minority & unpredictable cases. There is always the story of that guy or the other.

What I wrote remains valid, that 6 years life span of yours must have been some king of irony I presume... I still play my original GameBoy, SNES, N64, Dreamcast & on & on...

What you wrote most certainly does not remain valid. Your comments are extremely weak because in one case you talk about the average consumer, and then change to a specific cases.

Who says most people buy games at launch? Read some developers' reports on how much money they make through sales and how much they make first week. Comparing second hand market to "a steam account with 100 games" is all sorts of ...  flawed logic. Which represents the average gamer and which is the safer option? Are you talking about the average gamer or not? 

The 6 year life span is again a flawed argument. You make it sound as if you have to stop gaming on a console after 6 years, while you can keep going with a pc. Plus, how is that relevant to the ps4 (you're the one saying you can't bring ps3 into this)? For all we know there won't be a ps5 and you can keep playing games on ps4 forever. You can't bring ps3 into the discussion only it helps your point. 

The problem I have with your post is that there's no way to prove that the average consumer will pay for online, that he gets his games new intead of second hand or that he will game for 6 years. And you also assume that all of them together apply to the average consumer.

But if you feel like your points are valid, you can keep saying that. It doesn't make them any more by saying they are. Nor are mine more valid because I say so. Saying that someone else's points are valid, makes sense to me. But saying that about your own, is like saying "I agree with myself".

I took 5secs. & a half to read in diagonal what you wrote & I guess that's about 2secs. too much, sorry but my original post was clear enough, I don't have time to educate (schools exist for a reason) & even less time to be played!

Keep your opinion or whatever floats your boat is my conclusion, happy new year to you!
