Which is better, buying one Wii game per month or to one PS3 game a month?
Which is better?
There's a young boy named Paul and like many others, he likes to play games. He usually plays the Wii or the PS3. However his allowance only lets him get one game a month for ONE of these consoles. Which console should Paul stick with buying?
Cost for the Wii
Paul imagines himself buying ONE Wii game per month plus the a membership fee of 75$ that last for the entire year.
x axis = # of games
y axis = cost ($)
C=75+20g
Letter C represents total cost for the Wii
Letter G represents the number of games
Cost for the PS3
Paul makes another graph and imagines himself buying ONE PS3 game per month without a membership fee.
x axis = # of games
y axis = cost ($)
C=50g
Letter C represents total cost for the PS3
Letter G represents the number of games.
Intersection for Wii & PS3
GREEN LINE = PS3 COST
RED LINE = WII COST
The point of intersection (2.5,125). This means 2.5 game Paul will pay 125 for both systems. However, we can't get 2.5 of a game, so we round.This means that for 3 games, Paul will pay 125 for Wii or for PS3.What should Paul buy?
SCENARIO #1: If Paul is planning to buy less than 3 games the entire year, Paul should invest his money in the PS3.
SCENARIO #2: If Paul is planning to buy 3 games exactly, he could invest in either one since they both have the same price.
SCENARIO #3: If Paul is planning to buy more than 3+ games, Paul should invest money in the Wii.
