Ya'll can hate me, but a $1000 console is not bad.

And its still the best entertainment value. I spend $60 at the movies. Puttshack like $70.

No it’s not. PC you get emulation, Xbox games, Sony games, Mobile games access to millions of games

Apps like Stremio you can watch any movie, tv show, anime that’s ever been released and you don’t have to pay no subscriptions.

How much would a PC build cost with similar specs to the PS5 Pro?

Obviously more but you can’t look at it that way because you’re not just getting something that just plays games. You’re literally getting something that has access to over a million games, access to millions of books and movies, something you can do work and productivity on. The initial cost is more expensive but in terms of consumption you save more in the long run.

Plus a PC can make you money a console can’t.

You’re forgetting your paying 1000 dollars plus a subscription and 80 dollars for exclusives and you can’t upgrade none of the parts. Sure a pc you pay more but you save of on the services, way cheaper games and if you don’t want to pay you can sail the seas. By the time the PS6 releases the gpu and cpu will already be old and Nvidia will have new tech in their GPUs that washes it.

not to mention as well games are 100
I got a wife and kids now, not spending 1000 in these economic times on a console

For the amount of time it lasts nah but it’s nots a priority and the fact these boxes are normally 3-500 bucks makes it a hard buy for a lot of people.

Plus smartphones are used for everything by some. Console just sits at home. Not nearly is ubiquitous and useful.

Say you buy a 1000 dollar console and you need a new computer too you are spending way more now when you could buy a prebuilt that is around the same price in total and you maybe able to pull of better specs. PC you don’t need to spend a 100 dollars on games matter of fact you don’t have to spend money on games at all keeping it 100.

OP is right. Gamers have been conditioned to be cheap asses though.

As far as entertainment goes, video games provide the best value per dollar.
As they should look at how some of these developers release games at full price and they have all types of bugs on launch. Who the fukk wants to pay full price for that? You better off sometimes waiting for discounts because by then shyt should be patched and running much better.

Exactly but some of these nikkaz don’t know no better. There’s no reason that hardware that just plays games and stationary should be priced at a 1000 dollars and old as games shouldn’t be 50 dollars either. This is where you start questioning value territory.
