Comment on Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGC

Certainly, 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?

I can’t imagine finding a used PS5 in decent condition for sub-$300 man. That’s a bit far fetched.

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

Show me those listings lol I’ll buy one right now. And “well below” $300 is not $285-$330 dude. I could see $300-$325 refurbished but sub-$300? Rare rare find. Certainly not from a reputable vendor, that’s buying from an individual if you can even find that.
