Read the rest of his conversation with me. He has spent over $3000 on his gaming rig total and was recently able to upgrade it to 4k resolution quality with $550. That's quite a different starting point than starting from scratch/out of box.

Well he could have been completely redoing it over and over again which is stupid and a waste of money. That is the only reason i could see him spending $3550 and if so then it is his own fault
-
Not stupid at all. From what Rex said he has had the same rig for 14 years and has been keeping it current and it can do 4k resolution gaming. Being on the cutting edge of graphics costs real money, and if he has been able to do it for a decade and a half, thenI'd say that's a pretty fair investment. It means he's had HD and 60fps when console gamers were playing in standard definition on tube TVs.

Ah i didn't know about the 14 years part
-
Yeah. 3k upfront would be a [b]HUGE[/b] investment. But over 14years that's only $200 a year. Which honestly sounds about right if you're upgrading yearly to stay above average. This is where the beauty of a console comes in because I pay $400 now and am good for 8 years.

Not neccessarily there have already been talks on both sides of working on new consoles
