lol, most ps owners don’t use ps plus and it’s not one of the highlights of the systems. Being able to play Spider-Man 2. Now that’s a highlight. They pump out amazing exclusives that far surpass anything from Xbox which keeps them very viable without ps plus being as competitive as gamepass is.

I would like to welcome the many many many new PC players who will be abandoning consoles

The exclusives were how I used to justify a PS, but now that they are coming to PC after a year it makes that decision harder to justify. Particularly because they usually look better on PC and mods can be used, so as long as I can stand to wait I usually have a better experience on PC.
I’m not sure I’d buy another console.

$2000 GPUs.

Steam deck is a good reasonably priced alternative for people wanting to switch

The rough equivalent of the PS5 GPU (~40 CUs of RDNA2) is the RX6700 at ~300 dollars. Pricing has not been great but let's not exaggerate lol

I swiped a 3070ti for 400 and it wrecks the PS5 (not saying the PS5 is bad by any means!)

Yes you can pay that. But $300 gets you a very functional card. And you can upgrade your PC in increments.

Or 1 year of ps plus max or whatever the hell bulkshit marketing terms they use.
