I’d honestly be pretty upset if Sony decides to ditch PS5 right when the system is starting to hit it’s stride now. I’ve already been playing more PC/Steam Deck compared to my PS5 and Switch.
I’ve literally gotten to the point where I’m low on ps4 games and finally decided it’s time for ps5. They better price drop it or I’m gonna skip it altogether if this is the latter half
To get a gaming PC comparable to a ps5 would set me back roughly $2-3k, and it’s outdated the moment I get it. I’d still prefer a console that will always run the games I pop in. I have no idea where PC gamers get their computers but a current gen gaming PC where I am costs as much as a car. Building one is not an option, I’m just not the kind of person who can do that.
I’m still gaming on a 1080 but even a Deck is so good and it’s $350. Less than a PS5. Maybe it’s because I’m old but graphics have met the point of ‘good enough’ that any increase isn’t all that noticeable.
Yeah but there are also people still gaming on an NES. There are pros and cons whichever way you go but PC hardware doesn’t have quite the same longevity as developers aren’t constrained by a single design shared amongst their entire customer base. The PS4 came out in 2013 and still has games being released for it. To compare that to PCs, those were the days of a 3GB GTX 780 being top of the line.
So more money for a worse experience? Again that’s why I and so many other will always choose consoles, cause you pop in the game you bought and it works. No need to downgrade it or sitting there troubleshooting for an hour just so you can get it to run. PC gaming is such a huge headache, I always end up returning half the games I buy on steam
I have a steam library of over 100 games and I’ve been exclusively gaming on PC since 2014. I can count the amount of times I’ve had trouble playing a game on one hand since then. If you’re refunding half the games you get then your PC is fucked and you’re doing something wrong.
I’ve also never had to troubleshoot anything but modded games which is to be expected. PC gaming is easier than ever these days.
That said I fully get why so many people prefer consoles but don’t spread bullshit cause you suck at using a PC buddy.

Just buy a PC? The games are hella cheaper.
You can even use your PS4 controller just like you’re used to.

That investment can last you longer than a consoles life span, especially if you can tweak windows and run lower settings or use Linux.
There’s people still gaming on 1080s

This. Also, steamlink works great imo so playing on my couch is very much possible now, even on linux.
No, more money for a customized experience that will meet your needs for the next decade
Why would you be upset?
The Console Failing should mean less exclusives. More software.
