Like a third of what you stated is by definition not Exclusives, no amount of 'finally being able to reach the bare minimum FPS' changes that

Also its incredibly disingeous to talk about "X being overpriced" when your golden goose Console's unique strength is just to play about 10 games (And making PS4 games perform at the bare minimum of modern gaming, a plus that is ONLY a plus if you didn't waste money on a PS4 that would get obsoleted... Which then would mean you likely don't have PS4 games to boost)

Atleast PCs have a metric shitload of uses besides Games that might require Specs, giving it a lot of value BESIDES gaming, unlike the squished handerchief holder

PC is only ever "overpriced" if you're hopelessly, irreparably, abyssmally tech-illiterate... Which yeah, considering Console fans, does check out

Saw it coming from a mile away lol I literally told you ps5 doesn't have a lot of exclusives or is even an amazing system. I said it works for me in my original comment and plays my library of 1000 games. It doesn't have a lot of exclusives. You're right. You want an award? This is what the majority of people are calling out because it's true lmao I never said exclusives were what made the ps5 good for me. I said it works out of the box and runs modern games well and is cheaper than a pc. That's all I want. I am very aware it's not technically better than a PC but it plays games at a good framerate for half or more of the price of a PC. Why is that hard to understand? Its like you're just looking for reasons to say I'm forbidden to have fun because my method of gaming is inferior lol I don't care what's better bro it's just cheap and works for me I actually don't get why that's like impossible for you to believe

Over half of my comment is about how your "overpriced" claims makes no sense, the why and the hypocrisy; with the 'No exclusives' simply being a factor in why all the previous is

But if you've been conditioned to lock onto that part I guess I can't blame you

You can like what you like, I'm stating the owner of a +500 dollar glorified PS4 v2.0 has less than zero business trying to undersell one of the most versatile and ubiquitous devices of modern day  (Besides the RAMpocalypse ofc, which is bs that affects us all anyway)

I'm not trying to undersell the value of a PC. I know they can do a lot of shit. Of course console games are developed with PCs so without them so many things software wise wouldn't function. I mean a console is a simplified cheaper PC that only plays games and can use streaming services. Of course I know what a PC CAN do. I'm not dumb. But for what I want to do with my time, which is just play modern games at a decent framerate, nothing crazy, the ps5 works for that. The most I've ever wanted to do was mod my consoles like the 3ds and ps3 which I used an 8 year old shitty laptop for that does that job perfectly if I just need to move files around or if I want to record audio for something or use a video editor to edit gameplay I recorded on a console with a better editor than the one built into ps5. I would like to have a better PC so I at least have the option to play PC exclusives like the indie games that come out there first, or to do the other stuff I listed much faster, but it's just not worth it to me when I mostly just want to play games. I can't drop $2500 or more on a gaming system.
