I agree! I wanted one for another room in my house but at this price point no way I am doing that!!!
With the last gen and the current gen being basically PC’s what not just go the PC route at this point. I am kind of at that point right now
Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling

$700 is too much money. Especially if you already have a PS5.

You might look into the mini PC form factor and throw Bazzite on it for a Steam console-esque experience.

I have a few of these running HoloISO running around the house to stream graphic intense games from my main rig and to run smaller games locally. Runs fine with a 680m iGPU and I never have to leave the room I’m in (garage included) to play games if I want.
It cost more than a console, but far less than the 5 consoles I’d have to put out for that kind of convenience.

That’s actually why I went with the Xbox this cycle. I got a series x for the large TV and a $200 (on sale) series S for the smaller one (although we usually just use a computer monitor and play side by side on the couch).

If you are the only one playing the PlayStation, you can do remote play via the computer, phone ,or even from a PS4.

Fuck you, I’m trading up. Have fun living in the past!

PCs will always outperform consoles in both performance and capability, so have fun being a loser clinging to a failing industry.

This is dense. The base PS5 for a good portion of is life provided an unbeatable price to performance value. For a long time you’d be taking about $600 for just the GPU.
They’ve sold 60M units. This crap has been parroted by fanboys on both sides since the 80s.

We use our PS5 daily to both play games and watch media. It’s invaluable in our household. Using a PC for all that just seems to unnecessarily annoying, convoluted, and uncomfy. Sure, you could use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to use it off the sofa but the sheer simplicity of just using a controller to do anything is just awesome. Not even touching upon not needing to do maintenance to the PC, buying newer components once older ones get inevitably obsolete etc etc.
For me personally, the PS5 has been a hit since day one. And yea, its price was a little steep upfront, but it’s been very much worth the money over the past four years. I don’t get people who unapologetically bash consoles from a sense of superiority. I thought we were past this lol

How much were the ps5s? 500?
That would make their sales total 30 Billyun. Wow

Have fun insulting random people, love to see how that turns out for you 😂

Sweet irony.

Sony is definitely living in the past, showing multiple years old upgraded PS4 games to promote the PS5 Pro
Banichan@dormi.zone 3 months ago
You’re not clever.

What a weird thing to say

$200 extra for reflections between cars in GT7 or slightly better shadow resolution is not worth it IMO.
My PS5 already collects dust as it is, since there are next to no games that actually make use of its hardware that I cannot already buy on PC to run at higher settings.
