PS5 Pro is still far cheaper than a PC

From digital foundry:

You'd need a Core i5 or Ryzen 5 system with something like an RTX 4070 to produce a technologically superior PC

Like we have all been saying, you can beat the Pro with way less powerful (and way cheaper) hardware than what the OP is claiming.

Edit

And DF also points out CPU heavily games won't see a fps improvement.

But Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter, stated that a PC comparable to the PS5 Pro would cost a fair bit more. (19:30 into the video)

 

Which is fair.  PC is more expensive, I've never said other wise.  My main argument in this thread was the ps5 pro isn't a rtx 4080, and it isn't.  The OP has grossly exaggerated what is needed to match the ps5 pro.

PC being more expensive comes down to personal preference.  PC games are cheaper, online is free, wider selection of games (e.g. my PC plays Halo & GoW) and emulation is amazing.  I think the extra pricing is worth it.

But that doesn't change the fact the OP is just wrong for saying the Pro is a 4080.  I didn't say PC was cheaper.  I said PC was cheaper than the OP was claiming.  

Also per your video, around the 20 minute mark, DF comments the extra cost of PC hardware is quickly offset by Sony charging for online, thus total costs need to be considered.
