Console game sales are better than Steam


Recommended Posts

PC doesn't have 'Platinum Hits' or whatever their called on consoles.

 

But check out Humble Bundle, GOG,  or STEAM sales, and see that a lot of titles will regularly go on sales from 10%-75%.

 

In the case of Humble Bundle for like $12 a month you get 6-9 games per month, and there's at least one AAA calibre title included.

Not true 

 

Consoles have multiple sales every week on bigger games . The discounts are bigger and old games are cheaper , faster .

 

 

I don't have much faith in you to be able to find anything or look much further than your nose.

The sales have gotten better on consoles than what they have been in the past, close to what you can find on PC but it's still lagging behind. 

It's whatever to begin with.  Expecting to be this big delta is just him looking for shit to hate on.  The fact is that you're not going to be seeing the best deals on everything at the same time all the time.  Publishers and Developers will alternate sales across platforms.. It's stupid to expect sales to be the same across all platforms.  There's so many variables which contribute to when a publisher decides to put a game on sale, and by how much...  Jon after a week or two of owning a new PC isn't going to have any realistic grasp on how sales patterning works on PC vs console...

 

Consoles have definitely gotten better than before, as you said.  Because consoles were relatively new to this shit.  Digital has grown rapidly on consoles, so developers are leveraging that better.  I don't think anyone's been touting how PC games are much cheaper or on sale all the time anymore like in the past.  It's a well known fact that Steams sales aren't what they used to be... that's true imo.  However, using various sites, searching around for good deals from reputable sellers... you can almost always find a better price than Steam.

 

I got Dragon Quest 11 on GreenmansGaming and it was $15 less than Steam..  You just have to look around a bit.
