A PS5 and a PC of the same specs is comparable in price. Also a PS5 is currently 1000-1200 depending on bundle. The I/O bit with ps5 is interesting for loadtimes and open world games, though it is getting tougher to buy a PC without nvme. The current xbox looks interesting, but MS is basically pushing 'also release on PC'. Like I said I have owned many generations of consoles. However, this gen I am finding it tough to justify also getting one in addition to my PC. Even the PS4 before it I bought only because of one silly unique game that was not on PC but on every console. Something like the n64 when it came out vs the PC it was a no brainer and 'here take my money'. I am not getting that with this gen of consoles. If you want a console over a PC go for it, seriously. I personally am finding the distinction hard to justify with the current gen of consoles.
- kahrl 5y ago"A PS5 and a PC of the same specs is comparable in price." What?. No. A PlayStation 5 digital edition retails for $399.99. What Celeron powered hunk of junk are you able to put together for $399.99?
- _njyk 5y agoOn which planet this pricing applies ? In Estonia (north-east of Europe) it's 1000 to 1200 USD in the shops. https://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/1891263/sony-playstation-5-digital-edition/ https://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/1891263/sony-playstation-5-digit...
- gmadsen 5y agoI would assume he is talking about the US. I would think computer parts are also more expensive in Estonia, not just PS5
- gmadsen 5y agoObviously use the pc if you have it. My point is entirely for the case of having neither. It is patently untrue you can get a full pc capable of running ps5 quality games in the price range of a ps5
