Comment on Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGC
Carnelian@lemmy.world 21 hours agoCertainly, 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.

You’re equivocating. In that instance I am responding directly to your claim that it’s far fetched to find a used one around the $300 point.
You’ll notice when you quoted me you also excluded the word “dips”. It’s dishonest for you frame my position as misrepresentative of the market by presenting my numbers without the couching I presented them with.
And why do you want to quibble over $50 when it doesn’t affect the discussion at all? Let’s just work with the higher prices, or even the brand new prices for that matter
