PS5 Pro is still far cheaper than a PC

I've tried to convince a friend of mine, who pretty much falls into "money is no object" category when it comes to home entertainment, to switch to PC gaming for quite a while now - he just flat out refuses to move away from PS due to "convenience and physical media". I guess those sort of folks are Sony's potential customers for PS5 Pro (though he has no interest in it, so far).

Don't get me wrong, I'll definitely get the PS5 Pro, just like I got the Xbox One X and the Playstation 4 Pro, because I am a hoarder of physical console games... But I am not going to fight over the limited launch quantities like I did with the One X/PS4 Pro.

But there is no denying how convenient it is to have a PC with a full digital library verses having to get up and change discs out on console... Plus still requiring 32 terabytes of hard drive space to keep everything installed and updated on my Series X even though my library is entirely physical.

I always found PCs worth the extra hassle (and there is still extra hassle with them compared to consoles, even with modern consoles that are not entirely hassle free). One of the reasons is exactly digital library that can span decades of titles (other, and for me the main one, are genres that are very scarce on consoles). True, if we take PS4 as a starting point, I'm guessing from that point in PS history all titles will (probably) be available to future PS consoles, with MS even doing much better job at backward compatibility.
