| irstupid said: So in your example you need to buy a monitor for 4k, but the PS4Pro doesn't need a 4k TV. Fair comparisons assume you either need to buy both, or you own both, or you use both on same display. A 4k TV with certified HDR is going to set you back probably $800 min. While were at it, why don't we say you need to buy a computer desk and chair and the PS4 Pro needs to buy a comfy couch. |
While I don't think we should count the monitor, his reasoning is probably that a PC monitor only has use in the computer, while the TV is something that you already have to buy anyway, even if you have a PC. Even without the monitor, the pricing difference is still pretty big. Getting 4K or close to it by 400 bucks is a killer value. I dumped close to it on a 970 1 year ago and it isn't touching this kind of resolutions since it struggles with 1440p.
1500$ is somewhat exagerated. But more than 1K without a monitor is a given if you are going with a 1070, so the 399 price of the Pro is pretty good. I can't see why someone would even grab a Slim with the Pro being so cheap.
PC gaming has a lot of strong points, but price isn't one of this. I've expent a lot in hardware and my PS+ subs and the price of games are not going to compensate it. Also mind that a lot of people sell their physical games after finishing them and you can also buy pre-owned, trade games with friends or rent shorter games.
