After my PS3 got the YLOD, I considered about purchasing a PS4, and then I thought: I would have to start from zero since it doesn’t have backwards compatibility. So, I went back to PC and my whole catalogue was there waiting for me. They are indeed a trap.
This reminds me of the Q&A section on Amazon product pages where someone will answer a question stating that they don’t know because they didn’t buy the item.
I wouldn’t really call it a “trap”. If you’re buying a console when it’s new at full price, sure, you’re being taken for a ride, but give it a couple of years for stuff to be cheaper and it can work out reasonably well.
I used to be a major PC gamer but eventually the cost/benefit calculation went completely off the rails.
That said, I’ve not upgraded to the current console generation because I’m still waiting on something to justify it.
I wouldn’t know…I stopped falling for the console trap after PS3. Only thing since was a PS4 controller, for my PC
