Price per Performance

Price per performance normalizes the buying decision: not “is it powerful” but “how much of the performance I actually need does this dollar buy.” It is why the flagship is often the worse value for someone who only wants a PS1-through-PSP ceiling, and why last generation’s device can be the smart buy. We build value-league framing around it — matched to the emulation or native-game ceiling you name — so the biggest spec number stops being mistaken for the best purchase.
