This just isn't true. The PS4 is much less expensive than the PS3 was and has launched with a number of AAA-quality titles which are free to download and play (with more on the way). Even the Xbox One is no more expensive than the launch 360 was, and if you factor in inflation (as you can with games) you're actually paying less today than you were back then.
