Survey says most PC gamers wait for titles to go on sale
While a gaming PC might cost more than an equivalent game console (a lot more, if you want enough power to run new games at the highest visual fidelity), you can save a lot of money on the games themselves if you're mindful. And most PC gamers do, according to a new consumer survey. The data says that only about a third of players on the PC will buy a game at its full, initial retail price (stretching into $70 USD for AAA games at this point) while the rest will wait for a sale or a bundle. The data comes from a consumer survey performed by secondary market Ultra and Atomik Research. According to aggregate answers from 2,000 PC gamers, only 36 percent of them will buy a new game at full price, while 32 percent will wait for a sale or a bundle (like the Humble Bundle).
