    I’m a third party in this chat, not [email protected].

    Your initial comment here was pointing out that a component of a computer build is as expensive as an entire console. Valid point, though it does ignore that the component you had in mind is superior to what Sony’s put into their machine. It’s not really an apples to apples comparison. More like an apple from the grocery compared to picking a basket of apples from an orchard.

    You seem to be pointing out that higher performance per dollar is possible with a high end computer. This is correct.

    Anivia on the other hand was only saying that for the same money or less as a Playstation 5 Pro, you can get more performance by spending your dollars on a computer instead of a console. This is correct.

    You two seem to be saying the same thing: Sony’s console is overpriced for what it is, and a better experience can be had going with a pc.

      I’d like to argue that you can’t get as much or more performance by spending the 700 dollars on a gaming PC. I’d be glad to be proven wrong when the first PS 5 Pro benchmarks are published, however.

        He just proved it above when he made a pc for 550$. He was using the Ps5 Pro as a standard.

        This all boils down to; The Ps5pro is overpriced, and for 200$ cheaper, you could buy a PC that will outperform it.

        Not to mention the PS5 doesn’t have any exclusives that would make an upgrade worth it.

        (Also, huge steam deck fan boy. I’ve played all the “PS exclusives” on it, easily, for cheaper than a PS, and more ways to enjoy it)

          How would you know that?

            It’s this new thing called the “internet” that has all kinds of information on it.
