You are over exaggerating. You cant look at purchases as some mathematical equation. Some people spend money on brand name alone, most
should spend on quality. I dont buy products thinking how i can get my money back or how much ill lose when buying new.
I spend money on quality and personal worth. I bought Audio Techica M50x 5 years ago and i see no reason to buy a new model. I spent $350. Do I use them even 1/10th of my day every day? No. But i paid for high quality. Just because i use my phone more often i buy cheaper brands because they all do the same shit and you use them the same way...ig,fb,watsup,browsing and maybe a phone call. No way you need a $1000 for that.
Therefore a $700 to me is more worth for a console because i know im buying it for the long run and its gonna be played. Id love for you to explain to an audiophile how because you use a phone more often, his one speaker of $20.000 os not worth the money as a new phone is. Do people buy cars every year? Motorcycles? Washing machine? No because they buy something that they are investing in the long run and consoles fall under that umbrella because they dont come out often with a new product. Phones fall under the same category as shoes, easy expandables.
My PS4 Pro i can sell half price after 3.5 years of use. Your $1000 phone after that same amount is like $300 because 4 more upgraded models got made.
