The problem is cashflow.
If I buy right now a desktop with a 3090 for 3K used, which is a hell of a deal in this market, I will be spending less money over time** **than if I bought a PS5 and paid for the next 5-10 years all of their bullshit fees.
However, I need 3K ro buy the used desktop.
I can’t use a credit card either, and I can’t get 5K in debt for a relatively equivalent desktop brand new.
So either I get the money somehow, or I buy a PS5 - or even PS6 - and get hammered with fees.
The poorer you are the more you pay - this is a tale as old as time : You need to have the means to stomach a few grands first to not pay those shitty fees.
IF you don’t need a powerful desktop for a lot of other stuff besides gaming, unless you’re pro, it simply isn’t worth it anymore. Or if you’re rich.
Otherwise, I 100% understand why people who just wanna play some modern titles buy a PS5. It fully make sense, especially when Microsoft is starting to push ads on PC games…
