      *exclusives Thankfully Sony saw the writing on the wall and began porting a lot of first party to PC.

      Platforms like the Deck are the future IMO

        I’ve had PS5 since release. I have played a handful of PS5 games and honestly most of them have felt like slightly enhanced PS4 games. Very few have truly felt “next gen.” Even fewer make decent use of unique DualSense features.

        I’ve mostly continued playing tons of PS4 games. PS5 seems kinda meh to me. Also as usual Sony has made a system software design and layout that feels needlessly restrictive and idiotic.

        This thing is basically a PS4 Pro Pro. And now the PS5 Pro will be a PS4 Pro Pro Pro.

          The ps5’s ui is enough if all you care about is getting the game you’re currently playing. Just like how the switch is. Plus astro’s playroom and astro bot could’ve been the only games for the ps5 and I’d still say that the price was well worth it, in fact, playroom is what made me really want a ps5 there and then instead of waiting around.

    I just ordered an rx 6400 for 198€ to make a franken-optiplex windows game machine.

    Sure, I had the old PC laying around for photoshop and 3dsmax (linux-complicatted softs) but man 800€ for a console I’m getting old.

    Here, after taxes and if you brought it with everything it costs ~1000€. That (and less) already gets you a decent machine nowadays.

      With upgrade potential even. Maybe you save a bit of cash to get a weaker used Gpu and later on maybe a year or so you upgrade.

    If the Play station was a fully open device that could play games and run software from anywhere it might be more reasonable. However, not only do you need to pay for the console you also are stuck in the ecosystem.
