The hate campaign is in full effect via the media because Xbox simply can't compete on the battlefield.

Look at how aggressive this corporate clown is:


Note how it's "one of the best gaming PCs" that you're building in the opening salvo.


RAM isn't equivalent.


Some of this is true. You do get access to more games on a PC than any single non-backwards compatible console, if you download the right drivers, shader settings, and wait for patches that may never come. You do not get access to *most* PS5 games, certainly not without waiting for years, and you DO get access to every, not "pretty much any" game on Xbox.


Look at this incendiary shit. When the PS5 gen ends, your PC will be out of date and need upgrading.

Oh btw you now have no way to control your new PC because this moron forgot to add a mouse and keyboard/controller to the package. Oh right and you can't see shit because you didn't buy a monitor, whereas everyone already has a TV to plug into.
This is the reason PS should’ve never released games on PC if you trying to sell new PS hardware it will cause a fiasco w people comparing the new console w PC, expect this w PS6.

To think Sony/PS leadership diminish & harm the PS platform so they can sell a couple hundreds of copies while on there own platform there selling million & getting 100%, crazy. And games like GOW ragnarok will sell less then GOW 2018 on PC because the novelty of PS games going to OC becomes less & less exciting, overall all PS is doing is diminishing the prestige of there games & ip etc.

But I’m all for the fuck shit PS wants to fuck around & find out on PC let them. When they end up like Xbox because Valve/Steam & Nintendo catched up & double down on there exclusive games + more 3rd party making there own platform have a 1 to 1 in 3rd party as PS + those platforms have default exclusive & 1st party exclusive + on the case of Valve & the Steamdeck benefits of PC like no online or having both Xbox & PS under one roof in this case there own Steam console it will be to late for PS to deflect

MS pays their shills to spread propaganda. They'll "leak" stuff to their influencers to make Pro seems less powerful/not as good as the nextbox.

Same thing they're having IGN and youtubers do now. Pay them to spread FUD and fake outrage over the price.
I just never expected him to say that

You know that all you have to do to get around being locked out of officially changing your wallpaper is simply download a wallpaper off the internet and set it as your desktop background, right?
Yes, but it doesn't change the fact that it's still limited (and curiously it doesn't omit the windows activation watermark)

They did this for both PS4/XBO and PS5/Series X, you crybaby.

Once Phil announce XSX pro at $899, all youtubers will suddenly have no problem with the price. Actually, all youtubers won't have a problem with Switch 2 at $400. It is worth it for a handheld that won't even match Steamdick

Nah.

Uncle Phil will announce the PC branded Xbox from a parter that will ask twice what it value… just like the “new” SSD format used by Series lol

Do you see console players go and tell the pc players when the lastest nvidia cards release to not buy them?
Exactly! As soon as the announcement was done they were all ready to scream get a PC instead. Hundreds of articles and videos are popping up every second.

Must be those Nvidia AI bots teaming with the xbots because they have nothing to look forward to. So insecure.

Just watch dustbin legaries soul being dragged out in the last few seconds of this clip.


This should gave it's own thread. The article in OP is trash, that AMD GPU doesn't have the features the PS5 Pro has so the article is misleading. 4070 is the same power level as Pro and obviously that PC build will be a lot higher then Pro.

Is that an nvme 3.0 drive? It’s way too cheap.
Bruh, the level of cap has already started. Already seeing "PC dudes" saying it doesn't matter whether it's PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 not much different. FOH. Ain't no hardcore PC gamer is slotting in a PCIe 3.0 into their 4070/4090 build. 😂

You dont need a windows key to use windows for the love of god

you dont even need windows, Linux Mint or Nobara works well too thanks to proton
Everygame is also free on PC by that metric.
also, fuck Linux, for real, people love to praise it but it is such a fucking bother to work with.

You literally don't even need to pirate a key. You can install the OS and 99% of its functions will work. The key is just for removing the watermark. How people will call this "paid" and "a $100 expense" is beyond me

well you dont get a fucking watermark on Playstation or the system moaning at you for getting a propper key.
when you get a playstation you are also getting the OS and the only solution people are coming up with in response to the $700 pricepoint of the pro is "spend twice as much or get used shit and cheap out as much as you possibly can"
