Mine doesn't. Most people who can calculate the total costs of a phone contract will buy the phone separately.

Yeah, it's often way cheaper. Especially if you don't want to upgrade your phone as soon as your provider allows for it, because then you're basically paying extra for nothing.

Yep most people will buy the phone outright because they know it is cheaper. They sell their old one off.

For those asking why I mention mobiles.

It is all about perceived value what drives the spending cost of a item for the general consumer.

Playing games is not a high need for most of the console sales. Hardcore gamers who value tech over price is a very small market.
