I think what he means has more to do with the fluctuation in prices we saw throughout the last year where the PS5/Series went up in price due to "inflation reasons", then only two months later, Sony went with a "promotional price" which was basically back to the original price, back and forth |
Well if we really want to be technical, the only reason to feel ripped off is to pay the same price for something old. It's a very well known fact technology products manufacturing prices mostly go down with time. I don't feel ripped off when paying more for a console when it launches because it's clear manufacting costs are way up in the start of production line hence the company is often having loses for selling the hardware that cheap
Paying for the same price 6 years later however is definitely a steal. Even moreso when the specific hardware is bounded to stop getting supported soon...
I will always support companies who make price cuts and I don't see how could it be possibly a negative thing in anyway but alas, this discussion looks so pointless I don't see reasons to keep engaging on it
