$700 is too much money. Especially if you already have a PS5.
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
People get real mad when I tell them it's cheaper because I can rent and resell games. Just yelling no way it's cheaper because you're spending $60/ yr for online. It's become an identity for them.
The best part of the PS5 is that you can buy and sell discs at much more reasonable prices.
But my feeling is that they will soon start shipping consoles without a disk drive. Maybe PS 6 will be the last one.
Big concern of mine. Was a huge concern when steam ruined it on PC 20 years ago. Game fly if you are in the states is worth it's weight in gold. I played at least $2000 worth of games last year for about $300.
You can install Plex/Jellyfin on the PC and get a much better experience, watch on the phone, tablet, serve multiple clients, etc.
So your argument is unsubstantial.
🙄👌👍
Ok
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
You're not clever.
What a weird thing to say
