That wasn't me. I used to work with and game on them but the price of them now puts me off buying one.

Its probably not just the price, but the price and value you're getting from it. You know very well that you aren't going to have the time to sit down and play enough games on the thing to make the investment worth it. You also known that it's going to be useless for at least many months at a time because of constant gaming droughts, it's going to take up space (the console, controller, any other accessories, and the games you physically buy), the amount of games your motivated to play through in general has probably decreased over the years, and knowing that in just a few years thats going to be not much more than a paperweight doesnt help either.
Legitimately just get or build a PC. Its a higher initial cost, but the value is actually worth it. As much as people try to say the fact that it can do infinitely more than just play video games shouldn't be a determining factor, it does to a lot of people who are more careful with the money and likely arent the type to just throw it away and "splurg" just because. You can play games and watch videos sure, but you can use it for writing, digital art, designing and creating in general, for work, and other things too. Plus, the PC has objectively the most games available for it. Especially when you consider games from decades ago, all the indie and AA games, and of course current gen games that are now 99% "console exclusive" meaning the game either is or will be on PC.
Get a PC and then years down the line get whatever Nintendo is doing. It's the best combination without question in my experience. I also didnt proofread this, so apologies for any typos.
Imagine the PC gaming machine you could have built for that money you wasted on this console trash.
Xbox, buy Starfield too
>Starfield
lol, lmao even.
buy a pc
home consoles stopped making sense when consoles started having downloadable updates and mandatory installs
Or to put it in other words: consoles stopped making sense when consoles started becoming weaker PCs with less customization options and less freedom. That's what consoles are these days, they're really just shittier PCs.
Oh anon. I need that sweet sweet Final Fantasy XVI right now. >Its coming later
I said right now anon. I can't wait. I can't do it.
>ANON I WANT TO CONSOOM PRODUCT RIGHT NOW AND GET HYPED FOR THE NEXT PRODUCT!
Imagine being like this.
Yeah, you are delusional
Ps5 uses RDNA 2 architecture it's not very advanced. Also it's vram is shared with RAM and only exists to push out a subpar experience with 4k. I bet you bought into the "magic" PS5 ssd too
Ff16 can't even be run at a stable 30 kek

you say this like it's a bad thing, it's a better design over the mess that we have on PC with all of the low vram cards.

you would need one for consoles for a equivilent set-up, so i don't count it. >controller
just use the favorite you already own, that old PS4 controller has more functions on PC and should be great. >no OS

Nope, also piracy is pretty much dead on PC thanks to denuvo, and you're stuck with digital only games on PC, no thanks

also denuvo doesn't apply when pirating windows if you went that route.
PS4 is still getting the brunt of third party releases. PS5 literally has something like 6 exclusives and is losing them faster than they're coming out. It's not worth buying and Jim confirmed that they'll continue to stagger out their first party software. Currently, the PS4 is far and away the best option and you only miss out on like 6 games-not all of which are even decent. PC and Switch are also strong options depending on preferences.
Based off the last showcases Sony are abandoning single player games and solely focusing on shitty live service games. Meanwhile xbox are doing the complete opposite with a ton of single player exclusives. So I'd go for xbox personally. I don't like the live service direction Sony are heading in.
Xbox hasn't put out anything worthwhile other than forza for quite some time now. Sony doesn't have any live service games actually released at the moment other than GT7 (and Destiny 2 if you want to count that)
What a complete waste a revision would be unless it were just for cheaper manufacturing costs or the like. On the consumer end, the thing barely has a reason to exist. It's a PS4 Pro 2 and Sony's almost ground to a halt on releasing games.
Neither. Just build a PC.
Ew no
Why so averse to the idea? It seems like a no-brainer these days, unless there's a console exclusive game that you just can't do without.
Oh anon. I need that sweet sweet Final Fantasy XVI right now.

Fair enough. I think you have your answer then.

1000 USD doesn't really get you much if you're building a PC unless you buy used or something
Yeah it does actually, also you only need a 1660TI if you want a PS5 equivalent. Anything more is going to blow the PS5 out of the water
delusional
Yeah, you are delusional

slapped this in 3 mins.
should beat a PS5 and series X in 99% of games.
though id optimize it a fair bit.

Also, when you consider online subscription, consoles become complete ripoff.
Guy looks like a cuck and recommends shitty AMD GPUs
Opinion discarded
This or a PS4 for cheap if you want thee vast, overwhelming majority of the same games.
PS4 is pretty much done it's not getting anything new like Spider-Man 2 or FF16

Pc lol its obsolète we have phones that can do everything pc does frick off we arent in the 90s
You somehow managed to surprise me with how moronic a person can be Anon
PS5, you can play the xbox stuff cheaply on any pc or phone through xcloud if you really want to.
Good luck playing Starfield on your toaster
You can stream it on a $50 android phone through xcloud, should be totally playable, won't even feel any input lag since it's a 30fps game
Neither, if you can't afford a PC get an Xbox or switch.
There's no reason to get touch the PS5
Has no games

>the games are announced but haven't released so it means they don't have live service games
What a terrible argument
Both, like me
Microsoft made one damn ugly console but Sony somehow made theirs far uglier.
Xbox, buy Starfield too
buy a pc
home consoles stopped making sense when consoles started having downloadable updates and mandatory installs
a Switch.
A switch ahahah why would someone buy this shit unless is for a Child is beyond me..
Xbox so you can play Starfield.
There is no reason to buy an Xbox because everything on it is also on PC through game pass
Isnt Starfield the shitty game capped at 30fps and that it has menus and cutscenes for planet landings?
series x. literally the best console of all time.
wait for the PS5 pro
I doubt they'll be one. It wouldn't be worth upgrading unless they're making a 4k 120fps version and that would be insanely expensive right now
try 8k
The way the industry is right now I wouldn't have thought the ps6 will be 8k
The people on gamefaq told me there won't be a PS5.
Build a pc
I was able to justify buying a PS5 by having it replace a PS4. I will do the same for the Xbox Series.
How likely is a PS5 Slim at this point? Don't wanna get it now then they release something later.
What a complete waste a revision would be unless it were just for cheaper manufacturing costs or the like. On the consumer end, the thing barely has a reason to exist. It's a PS4 Pro 2 and Sony's almost ground to a halt on releasing games.
Keep the white race alive ps5 baby dont be à poor shitbox homosexuel
Left or right?
Switch
Neither. Get a PC and Switch instead
PC or Switch, nothing else is worth having.
