The best selling consoles always have cheaper used games due to a larger supply glut. Happened with the PS1, PS2 and X360 (yes, we're allowed to a lose a round).

Since the X1 is selling half, the PC doesn't have used games and the Wii U doesn't have third party, PS4 wins on this.

Seriously, just pull up Half.com or Ebay, and just compare higher selling vs lower selling console used games.

Last I check, we won. Unless you want to count Gears 4 which was made intentionally dark to cover up graphical inferiority.

They're currently targeting 30 FPS, targeting it, a downgrade is inevitable.

Also cheap new games. PS3 also had cheap used games, i bought many great PS3 games for under $10, like Red Dead, SF4, Arkham City, Metal Gear Rising, MG4, and Fallout NV. Great bargains.

Yeah, game discs should be destroyed when the original owner is done with them, like how we burn down houses people no longer want to live in, or how we detonate old cars with dynamite. We can't be screwing over house builders or car builders, after all.

Consoles are still the main source of income for most developers. You guys wait too long to buy your games. It doesn't help developers much if you are waiting for every game to go down to $10. Consoles still have a sizable number of people who buy games at release, more so than PC.

X1 and PS4 games are the same price, and PC wins this by default since you can get new games cheaper than you can on consoles. Maybe you should go and check out the Steam Summer Sale, Humble Bundle, or GoG then you would see how flawed your OP actually is.

So many games I can't decide what to buy.

@SolidGame_basic: If that's what you think, that's fine by me, even if it means pretending the Xbox One DRM made to fight used games wasn't implemented for no reason :)

I imagine it must be somewhat uncomfortable going around with Sony´s dick stuck up your fanboy ass all day long......

PS4 "wins" in the used games department, ROFLMAO !!!

Supply and demand. A product is only worth what people are willing to pay for it.

If I think $60 is too much for most games, I have a right to wait.

I'm sorry but if you think Sony actually won by showing a few middle of next year and 2017+ games then I feel incredibly sorry for you... Luckily I'll actually have stuff to play this year, enjoy the wait.

As there are 100's if not 1000's more developers on PC than console I somehow doubt your made up statistic is true.

I can get a CD Key for Batman Arkham knight for £17 ...

I can get the premium version for £22 ... including the season pass.

used games market is crap. Most GOOD used games barely come down in price... hell on release they will charge you the same price as the full retail game. any first party gameS? good luck with lower prices.
