I’m just realizing how oversaturated the used console market will be once GTA VI drops on PC

By then 2 sticks of ram will cost 2000$ so a lot of people will be happy to buy a used console.

[u/clankas-in-pajamas → u/Duck_87]

Wouldn't be surprised. I recently wanted to get more ram. And wondered what it cost, so I checked the price... it was 10x what I paid for it originally. 10 FUCKING x. FYI, I paid 650AED in FEB 2025 in 1.5 years it is 6500AED for 64 Gigs DDR5.

[u/-CODED- → u/clankas-in-pajamas]

Its crazy because I remember when ram prices would consistently go down. I remember buying an extra 16gb of ram thinking, "might as well since it's so cheap."

[u/Philly5984 → u/Duck_87]

That’s why I bought a pssr pro 16 weeks ago for 800

[u/Odd-Switch2069 → u/Duck_87]

You shouldn't own a PC if you 2k is an issue. You should stick to consoles. I'm sick of people complaining about that.

That's why there are consoles, for people who can't afford to keep up with PCs.

[u/fatalityfun → u/Odd-Switch2069]

a whole gaming setup costed me $800 dollars 10 years ago. The prices more than doubled but the amount of money people make has not

[u/Blucanyon]

Might keep an eye out for a used 5 slim when that happens lmao

[u/uday_singh_rehal]

Nope, because PC itself is fighting through a RAM crisis. I’m on PC, but consoles will still be relevant until the next generation arrives.

[u/El_Aniki95 → u/uday_singh_rehal]

Even then, there's always a few years of life left.

I also don't see the next generation happen very soon. Prices being what they are, would anyone drop over a 1000 for a PS6? People lost their shit over the Steam Machine just a few weeks ago.

You ain't got time to be distracted by his worthless chime-ins?

[u/FranksHoorHouse → u/MrEatYoRamen]

You tell that worthless sumbitch to walk the fuck away right now. Or we done for the day!

[u/ConstantPriority177]

Thinking that people are just going to drop their consoles just to play the PC version of a game they’ve already played or probably beaten by the time the PC version comes out is insane to me

[u/wo5ldchampion → u/ConstantPriority177]

I just got a PS5 Pro, I plan to play GTA VI, Wolverine and then God Of War Laufey next year then sell it when GTA releases on PC. It’ll go cheap to someone so they can enjoy it

[u/Mysterious_Egg2432 → u/wo5ldchampion]

Actually cool as hell

[u/LocoboyDC → u/wo5ldchampion]

Would be amazing if people were like you

[u/ConstantPriority177 → u/wo5ldchampion]

See this I can get behind, that’s cool to do, others probably not gonna do the same though

[u/MushroomMotley → u/ConstantPriority177]

PC gamers buying the console for GTA just to sell it when the PC version comes out is what I interpreted OP meant, also that's what I'm doing.

[u/reboot-your-computer → u/ConstantPriority177]

I’ll be buying it on PC despite already having it on PS5. I don’t see anything wrong with it. If the game is good, why wouldn’t I want a better experience if I have a PC I can use as an option?

The only reason I’m buying it on PS5 is because the PC version is a year or more out. Did the same thing with GTAV and RDR2.

[u/Far_Tackle6403 → u/reboot-your-computer]

What's wrong with it is you're just compliantly consuming like a good sheep, you're the reason they can fabricate a delay for PC release and easily get away with it. 

Encouraging double dipping is literally the strategy and you're just fine with it?

[u/reboot-your-computer → u/Far_Tackle6403]

I’m completely fine with it in this instance. I love games made by Rockstar. They never disappoint. RDR2 is my favorite game ever.

So yeah, I’m fine with paying for a product history has proven I will very much enjoy. I own a PS5 and PC. It’s a game I want to play so I’m not going to wait 1-2 years while trying to avoid spoilers just so I can own it on PC.

It’s my money so what do you care?

[u/Far_Tackle6403 → u/reboot-your-computer]

I care because your spending behavior is what encourages these corpos to pull anti-consumer stunts like this

[u/reboot-your-computer → u/Far_Tackle6403]

That’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it. Just like I’m entitled to spend my cash any way I want.

[u/gungabeast → u/ConstantPriority177]

Well that’s silly. The reason they do it is because people double dip. I did it, and will do it again. The PC version is always far superior. Given you have a nice PC. And I do. I would much rather play GTA at a high framerate. So I’ll play on console begrudgingly, but I want that juicy motion smoothness and low input delay.

Why do you think they release it later? You know the new consoles are on x86-64, right? So a PC port wouldn’t be as hard as in the past. And yet they’re not doing it right away. Because they know people will buy twice. Just like RDR2. Which again looks insanely good on PC. Way better.

[u/MeatSafeMurderer → u/gungabeast]

By double dipping you are part of the problem.

[u/Terrible_Sorbet_7122]

I'm sticking to PS5 , for a very long time .

I'm still on a PS4 Pro until the end of this month mind you ...

[u/Shirokurou]

PC market is worse...

[u/panner1234]

Already bought a used Series X,it's collecting dust on the top of my cupboard

[u/clankas-in-pajamas → u/panner1234]

Remember to update it so your not stuck while everyone and they mama playing.

[u/FlackAttack94 → u/panner1234]

Same got a used ps5, turned it on the day I bought it, set it up and now its sitting there waiting until November

[u/bigChungi69420 → u/panner1234]

Are you using it for gta6? You wanna sell it?

[u/Adventurous-Cattle53]

I don’t think so, first the ram prices are gonna go up probably, second, I’m sure many people will grow interested in using the console furthermore after gta 6. Sony will also use the chance and drop some announcements for new exclusives after GTA 6 hype dies down a bit

[u/meatbag2010]

I've waited that long already, I can wait a little more. I'm not buying a console just for one game.

[u/reboot-your-computer]

People don’t just sell their console because they want to play a PC game.

[u/ItsJustMe000]

Sorry man but people who have and own consoles have all their games on consoles and enjoy their games on consoles ain't gonna just switch for one game

[u/AffectionateSell3478]

You’re a bit slow then hey?

[u/run_bird]

When’s that going to happen?

[u/NetInevitable601 → u/run_bird]

2, years from now

[u/lkl34]

This gen it is best not go used now with consoles getting banned switch 2 has this issue with those fake games.

[u/Hunnidrackboy8]

Gonna buy a ps5 for this game. Anyone have tips on timing for best pricing?

[u/Plantedcrawl → u/Hunnidrackboy8]

January 

[u/Hunnidrackboy8 → u/Plantedcrawl]

I need it on or before launch day lol

[u/Templar113113 → u/Hunnidrackboy8]

Like everyone else

[u/Milk_Man2236 → u/Hunnidrackboy8]

Should have been got one u bout to pay out the azz to get one now my dude good luck get to looking lmao.

[u/Hunnidrackboy8 → u/Milk_Man2236]

Wym? I have seen a few for $450

[u/SacKingsAmiiboHunter]

I’m sitting on a couple of consoles I don’t touch. Is now the time to sell?

[u/MushroomMotley → u/SacKingsAmiiboHunter]

I'd say wait until a week before release

[u/Audigitty]

The inventory will be flush for GME when XB Series 2 and PS6 drop.

[u/SiD4d-]

No because console players got a console for reasons. One of them being the price. Now look at how the price of RAM is going.

[u/SvenLorenz]

It's more likely that people will have realized that playing games on an overpriced typewriter is dumb and keep their consoles.

[u/BeginningOcelot1765]

This assumes people are willing or able to buy a PC that tops their console's performance, and buy the game a 2nd. time...

[u/GreenMischief]

That’s my game plan!!! PS5 pro with upgraded cooling, and beyond a Gta5 play through. I’m leaving it for Gta6. And once the PC version is released, I’ll be selling mine, in the box.

[u/No_Neighborhood1464]

As if next gens never happen?

[u/Lord-Victorious]

PC douches trying so hard to cope.

[u/Dragmire_V2]

Well the only way Im getting an xbox is used so that works for me.

[u/sladebonge]

In honor of this post i vow to drop spoilers every single day from launch on ps5 until i ruin everything for pc kids.

[u/FeaR_FuZiioN]

I know I will be selling my ps5 pro as soon as I can play the game on pc
