$700, and the side by sides look barely different, from my perspective. The chat seemed to have the same opinion.

PCs will always outperform consoles in both performance and capability, so have fun being a loser clinging to a failing industry.

This is dense. The base PS5 for a good portion of is life provided an unbeatable price to performance value. For a long time you'd be taking about $600 for just the GPU.

They've sold 60M units. This crap has been parroted by fanboys on both sides since the 80s.

We use our PS5 daily to both play games and watch media. It's invaluable in our household. Using a PC for all that just seems to unnecessarily annoying, convoluted, and uncomfy. Sure, you could use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to use it off the sofa but the sheer simplicity of just using a controller to do anything is just awesome. Not even touching upon not needing to do maintenance to the PC, buying newer components once older ones get inevitably obsolete etc etc.

For me personally, the PS5 has been a hit since day one. And yea, its price was a little steep upfront, but it's been very much worth the money over the past four years. I don't get people who unapologetically bash consoles from a sense of superiority. I thought we were past this lol
