I thought this discussion was about Sony continuing to invest in the console ecosystem, not specifically for people who already had a gaming PC.
I do agree support is getting better quickly but it still has a ways to go, at least to match the compatibility of consoles.
The problem I’ve always run into is steam big picture, games with launchers, resolution issues, display scaling for large screens (more rare now), no Dolby Atmos, poor HDR support, and general difficulties for other family members. Consoles are just far far more consistent with the experience than PCs, currently at least.
That’s pretty dark even for Lemmy…
Why not both? I have a gaming PC for titles that are best played on the PC and the PS5 is for when I want to relax on the couch.

The problem is if you are on one political side of the fence the entire other side is immediately labeled as bots.
I was banned from my first Lemmy instance for disagreeing with a political statement. In 11 years I never got banned from reddit, go figure.
Let’s suppose you are right for a moment, can the $350 buy a case, power supply, motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard disk that is on par with the PS5? GPU is only half the equation.
You’re not wrong. It’s far more powerful than any PC you can build for the same price. Everyone likes to complain on this platform, maybe more so than Reddit. Anything a company does to make money is down voted and called unreasonable.
I’ve actually been surprised but how many gems I’ve found in games with a 70% rating or a 82% rating. Sometimes ratings can be impacted by feelings about a company or a media incident when the actual game is rock solid.
Do you work in the corporate world? Because Microsoft Copilot is included in E3 and E5 licenses so nearly every enterprise Windows corporation is running it. Copilot is being pushed hard at our company and at a recent conference everything was about Copilot. I don’t think it feels anything like Cortana, it feels exactly like ChatGPT. What you state may be true for personal users, but the real money for Microsoft is in the enterprise business.
True but it won’t be comparable to the console hardware. Has anyone done a cost/performance analysis of the PS5 Pro? Most of the time the cost is subsidized into the licensing fees involved in order to sell PS5 games.
Not a very good gaming PC, certainly not as good as the PS5 Pro hardware if you need everything, monitor peripherals, GPU, RAM, etc.
Free forever, until it’s not
Honestly price isn’t an issue and the reason to go PS5 over PC is the ease of use. I can’t stand having to get up to use my mouse to click start game, or games that never implemented proper console support on PC for whatever reason. It’s just so much easier to have working HDR, Dolby Atmos, etc on a PS5 than it is with Steam big picture on a PC. I’ve tried it many times and there’s always some frustration with the PC on a home theater setup.
Die a roe ha?
I had mobile internet around 2002/2003 I believe. It was slow as shit and pages were just text but it was internet.
That’s the same as in the US.
So like your drinking water isn’t cleaned or filtered? It’s simply just the groundwater in Denmark? I can’t imagine creamed remains actually being a problem with a water supply, seems extreme.
Oh my bad, yes we were (I brought it up lol) comparing consoles and PCs. You are correct.
