Comment on Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGC
Carnelian@lemmy.world 1 week agoCertainly, but we’d then have to compare with the used ps5 market, which dips well below $300.
Can a used pc or a build with used components be had with comparable performance to ps5? Even with a much larger budget of say, $800?

Why not? Like I said the certified refurbished directly from Sony is $350. Plenty of listings up right now for $285-330
But even if we compare new consoles to used PCs I think the conclusion is the same

You’re equivocating. In that instance I am responding directly to your claim that it’s far fetched to find a used one around the $300 point.
You’ll notice when you quoted me you also excluded the word “dips”. It’s dishonest for you frame my position as misrepresentative of the market by presenting my numbers without the couching I presented them with.
And why do you want to quibble over $50 when it doesn’t affect the discussion at all? Let’s just work with the higher prices, or even the brand new prices for that matter
