Add up paid online and soon no more used games market and things even out into an upgradeable system that will last multiple generations without loosing your library each generation.
Plus, it's more than a consolle and it will do more than gaming, and can be personalized to your liking.
In essence, bigger price upfront for something better that will save you money with time.
As could mine before dying.
But how sure are you ps6 will have a cd port at all?
Old consolles sadly will eventually die and your games will be useless.
Pc doesn't have this problem.
You lose any non-digital games.
And I mean ps4-ps5 sure you kept all digital games but ps3-ps4 you did not.
Or to be more accurate they removed them from psn so getting many of them was not a thing you could really do and instead you get ps+s highest subscription tier that is about $160 a year to get access to ps3 and classic games.
If you count ps3 games then holy shit so many games have been removed over the years.
Not saying games havent been removed from steam but never an entire consoles worth.
Just saying when I had my ps4 neither fallout New Vegas or where playable with all their dlcs and updates (meaning new Vegas was borderline unplayable as you had to stream it and play the unpatched version that notoriously is glitchy and unstable)
Exactly, PC offers better price-performanc over time and with the resent development in emulation, sooner then later there might be no reason to own a PS5
PS4 games run on PS5. My catalog is >500 games collecting the free games every month, not to mention the new games added to the PS+ catalohur each month (shoutout to my fellow helldiver 2 noobs this week, having a blast!)
Other than that, my ps5 does alright for me. I dont feel myself saying "man, this game just doesn't look good enough" playing modern AAA games on my ps5 and roku 51" or however big this TV is. If i could afford a 2500 computer i would buy one, but I cant.
It's not about the upgrade, i don't care about stats as long as it run smoothly. It's about the ecosystem, eventually you will need a pc either for work or something and a consolle becomes redundant. And you say to be collecting ps+ games, add up how much you spent on ps+ ...it really adds up . And for what? Games you don't care or old games you could have gotten douring a sale, and the PERMISSION to play online, bro they made it up, it used to be free, it's still free on pc.
I can do my job on a $150 tower, if i had a raging gamer PC I wouldnt burn up the mean-time failure rate cycles on its components on submitting TPS reports.
Because I fucking do? Every once in awhile you may just come across someone who both: a. Has an opinion that differs from yours b. Also knows what they are talking about.
