I'm a first time console buyer. I've checked the prices of the PS5 and new Xbox and they cost like 235k and 135k respectively. My question is, would these prices down? Do console prices usually come down in Pakistan? I've never bought a console in my life.

Thanks!

Yes they will come down eventually, but in the launch window (and up until a long time in 2021 I reckon) they won't come down because of the global scarcity of shipments.

Yeah they will come down around March next year I checked with my bother in UK its the same bots buying PlayStation bs over there as well they are all sold out...just get a ps4 pro if you need something to tide you over till then you might lose a few thousand in the process and better appreciate when you finally get the upgraded hardware.

Most local retailers are straight up draculas, don't fall for them. Even right now you can buy from amaga or jshak for around 125k to 150k

Local retailers are giving it the same treatment as to a newly launched iPhone. The prices will come down, for sure, my guess is by Jan 21. It wont take that long this time, the retailer market has grown a lot more competitive than it used to be.
Right now the cheapest option is to go for Jshak or any other premium sellers at PG (thank God we have them btw). Last I checked, Jshak's selling it for ~125k.
Ideal is to get it delivered by anyone coming from abroad - if you're lucky.

You have 8 years to buy a new console. Why you want to be an early adopter anyways? Do you even have a 120HZ 4K display. If you have it than there is no problem going for a little expensive console. If not than PS 4 Pro is all you need for most of next year.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
