Why do Sony stans defend the $70 price tag?

You Canadian, breh?

Yep

Yep

Breh, I was in a Canadian Best Buy a few weeks ago and was like at those prices. Even paying them in CAD was a higher price than if you just bought in the U.S. in the first place.

Look at the Sony infused excuses, there was like "hey man the prices go up for PS4 games once they reach PS5"

You know, you have to pay $10 extra to use next gen features like haptic feedback, slightly higher resolution. But why bother you guys with your own facts. Let's just act like this hypocrisy never happened Sony Stans

Hope Nintendo stays with their price range at $60. They used to get chewed up back in the Nintendo 64 era with that pricepoint.

That's the consequence for these movie budget games where gameplay takes a (slight) backseat: costs skyrocket.

Sony out the gate saying they charging 70 this gen for all 1st party titles is wild and blatant. Then following through and charging 70 for returnal....




I can understand the need for higher price point on higher quality games. But it should be a game by game basis like it use to be back in the day.

If a game required more expensive hardware or development the price reflected that.


But whatever.


The problem isnt Sony so much more so Sony stans opening wide for whatever Sony puts in their mouth, and Sony doesn't even to pretend to have their best Interest in mind.

We need an open world competitor to GTA

Maybe one that allows you a positive path and thus increases replay value via alternate experiences each playthrough based on your decisions

The psychological prowess of your idea is just as legendary as this very post

I'm curious to know what you mean?

Everything I posted was or became facts, it's exactly what both MS and Nintendo are doing, and now here we are with both company setting a price depending on the game.

Sony out the gate charged 70 for everything with no alternative for games and remakes that were PS4 titles, so getting mad at Nintendo is ironic.

And Xbox and Nintendo are charging more based on the game (which will eventually lead to just about everything)

And the last part needs no explanation, PlayStation users have been paying more for less this whole generation or more for "slight upgrades" and niche hardware.
