A PS5 Pro is locked to the PlayStation store, I can’t install my Steam, GOG, Epic, etc games on it.
The games are all more expensive too and you have to rebuy them to get resolution upgrades with newer hardware.

A PS5 Pro, which is more powerful, is $750. If it’s not below that it’s too damn much.

If someone really wants adobe they can replace steamos with windows or dualboot or maybe boot windows off a external ssd they installed it on.

Also once you buy it they’ve locked you to their platform and make their Monday back on games.

This is the key thing that everyone comparing it directly to consoles seems to be completely missing. Even if you’re only buying new steam games the costs are going to be way lower, but you could buy this and just play free giveaways or emulate your own old console games, and suddenly it’s a bargain (like any PC).
