Even at double the cost of a normal console, once you factor in the cost of games it comes out ahead. And hopefully the RAMpocalypse will end eventually.

I don't think that's true anymore. Going all digital, even on Nintendo's eShop, most third party games are dirty cheap during sales which happen quite frequently. Most games I've looked at go on sale every other month. Of course, they are still stingy as fuck with their first party stuff.

Don't worry, if it doesnt, some other much worse *-pocalypse will make it all moot!

Yeah, but that ROI window is fairly long

Only if you've never bought a game on Steam before. I don't think I've paid over $10 for anything.

Eh, even PSN has games on sale or bundled with their subscription. And Steam sales aren't as good as they used to be.

That's not to say that games aren't still cheaper on PC, just not as much as you'd thinj nowadays
