My console friends group and I haven't bought jack this year, and have mostly been playing existing games or free Plus games. SNY isn't making squat off of us on PS4, whereas if we had PS5's that would be another story. While they may be making more off some customers, they're starting to piss off others. To the point where I know a few of my friends will just pay for Plus (Extra) and wait for games on PS5, especially AAA games to land on there instead of pay $70. I'm also willing now for the most part to wait a while anyway just to pay less than $70 during launch, because they're starting to tick me off. PS may be making a nice profit, but truthfully they could be making a lot more. Let's all hope the 3 year curse doesn't show up again with PS6. |
Yes. That goes back to my reasoning for dropping the ps5 price. Alas, they aren't gonna get much more money out of me, much the same, buying games on sale every two weeks or so or a few indies here and there and subscribing to PS+. They put most of what I wanted to buy free on that service so perhaps they'll get less out of me for a while as I play through all them and replay some games that have free upgrade patches.
What's the three year curse?
As for you and your friends, my ps5 nearly paid for itself, I got Returnal, Rift Apart, Demon souls and Dead Space remake on ps+ monthly plus loads of free remasters and PS5 patches, The last of us Part 1 for example is free with ps+. There's loads of third party titles on there too, like Cyberpunk if you haven't bought it already, it's actually playable now. Free games like Xdefiant and Throne and liberty. I've tried Xdefifiant and it's pretty great. I've only bought two full priced games so far that I couldn't wait for a sale on, Baldurs Gate 3 and Stellar Blade but fully intend to go back to the ways of waiting for good sales, like 50% off. The PS+ Catalogue is now starting to get PS5 only games and you're missing out on PS+ monthly by not upgrading soon which is now giving some big hitters too and ps5 exclusives. I'd say it's worth it as the system is so much better than ps4 PRO, it's like ps4 PRO 2. Everything is fairly much the same but it all works a lot better, saves you a load of gaming time which would be just waiting on loading screens and gives some nice benefits with more selection of new games. I'd say go all digital though and buy in at less than 400 euro if you can, buy the disc drive later if you need it. I bought one with the drive just incase I wanna buy some ultra HD films over the next four or five years. It's built for MP groups too, no need for Discord anymore.
