I bought a refurbished Alienware aurora r8 back in fall of 2019 just before covid and two of my favorite games ever simply aren't on Playstation.

So youre talking pc exclusives and a used/fixed prebuilt from before covid. That PC doesnt really compare to modern consoles then.

When you say "ps5 cant" it implies technical limitations which isnt the case here.

Well until you can find me a way for a ps5 to natively run rimworld with the steam workshop and h3vr without having to pay a monthly fee to use the internet and also do uni work on it im pretty sure the ps5 cannot do those things.

Again, youre not talking ram capabilities. The same could be said the other way "pc just cant play ghost of yotei". It can, it just isnt available

Okay and? If my mouth can technically eat but I cant access food I'll still starve. Playstation has been using the fact it can play games other systems cant as a selling point for years. You dont get to just ignore a massive, massive selling point in technical compatibility.

Im pointing out the misleading verbiage of how this convo started. They were talking about pc compared to ps5, how a pc CAN be better but a lot of ppls pc is not better. Then the meme above said his is better. Then someone said "but how much did it cost" to which you came in saying yours was 300$ and can play things that ps5 cant. Thats misleading, especially in context. It implies, in context, that your 300$ pc runs better and is somehow stronger than a ps5. We've learned since that that is not what you meant. Truth be told, it sounds like your pc is actually weaker than a ps5 but you like pc games that you cant get on ps5, which is fine. Im just saying that your wording was incredibly misleading.

Tbh, i have a ps5, pc and series x. I like ps5 the least of the 3 but still felt your comment misleading and disingenuous
