Yeah but do you need the $1000 part?

No. You'll still get better than console performance on a $350 part

Honestly the reason I game on console more is because it's what I grew up with and for the most part it's still plug and play, after you've downloaded the game. You don't usually have to worry about settings or frames or weird conflicts.

$1k parts? I have to ask what are you buying that's only one part and it's 1k?

Pretty sure you could build your own gaming pc for less.

1 - Have to find a PS5
2 - PS5s up here in Canada cost close to 1k CAD
3 - A computer can do way more than a PS5

And based on a technicality... a PS5 is a PC. Just more limited in what it can do.

Just its career

Actually not at all because you dont have to buy the newest hardware, and unlike console gaming the backwards compatibility is actually good so you have everything all in one machine

I dunno, but console gaming is dead to me. In fact it's been dead to me for the past three generations other than Nintendo consoles. I'd much rather play on PC.

I mean, if you're looking for the latest and greatest cutting edge stuff, the only part that's $1000+ is a graphics card.

There's plenty of GPUs in the $300-$500 range that does MORE than well enough.

Much anything that's even one generation old, much of which can be found on discount, will still outpace consoles on the market today. And with devs optimizing for consoles, that extends the life of your parts. Beyond that, PC is multipurpose. You'll be getting more mileage out of your PC, no question.

I'd argue PC gaming is in a new golden age. The GPU manufacturers are dampening that is all.

Those prices are just the GPU manufacturers who think that people will still willingly pay those pandemic prices for upgrades. No one should pay $1000 for a GPU outside of a halo product. The 4090 is the only one that's worth the money right now, because it's the best of the best. The 4080, 4070 Ti, and the 7900 XT are all overpriced.

AMD: We have the best GPU under $900.

That's not the marketing tactic you think it is, AMD.

1000+ in what currency?
Because in some parts of the world, 1000+ is the price of bread.
