Anyone saying anything like "You'll would be better off buying a PC" is either a fucking idiot, being intentionally disingenuous or a fucking troll who's opinion should never carry any weight.
I dare you motherfuckers to build a PC that is as powerfull as a BASE PS5 for 700 bucks. Off the shelf parts only, dont compare used shit to a brand new console.
The same fucking people comparing to a PC are also using the argument "oh but it doesnt come with a disc drive" neither does your $2500 PC.
I for one think the $700 pricepoint is perfect:
-When you consider inflation the PS5 is already discounted over a hundred dollars from when it launched.
-You dont need a vertical stand, you can get one if you want but saying "its so expensive because you also need the base" purposefully inflamatory, no you fucking dont.
-The pro does not replace the ps5, it's not like this is the only thing you'll find in stores from now on.
-This thing is really fucking powerfull, even the Digital foundry guys, which are super fucking biased against playstation admited that and said that the Cerny stream was not the best w2ay to showcase this due to youtube compression and bit rate.
-"oh they didnt show anything new at the stream, only games that are already out" What are you a fucking idiot? How would they show shit that is not even out? Specially hen the whole point is showing things running better on your new console.
I swear people are being really braindead on this one.
