Perhaps they should just go ahead and put those damn stupid charts with Crysis running on a $200 machine the home page., because I have a feeling someone is going to bust them out. PC games are cheaper because they dont sell as much. |
No, they're cheaper because they:
- They are cheaper to develop
- They don't need to pay for licenses to console makers
- They don't need to give a fee to console makers for every copy sold
- They don't need as much advertisement
- They are released on digital distribution
- They keep selling for years
- There's heavier competition on PC than on Consoles
