PS5 Pro is still far cheaper than a PC

120 fps is amazing but I don't really recommend because it requires a stupid amount of power.  

Consoles are superior bang for the buck.  I don't see that changing anytime soon.  Consoles are great value and the ps5 is a great machine. 

RT is a stupid resource drain.  Frankly I don't think consoles should even bother.  RT ultra kills fps on a 4090.  RT utility is a generation out, unless people are willing to go 4080 or 4090.

I'm not worried about console prices.  Games are scalable and Sony will always offer a mid price option.  Honda still sells a Civic despite what Lambo has.

As for of high end is worth it, a matter of personal preference + disposable income.  

Are consoles superior bangs for buck though. Throughout a 7 year gen you have to pay for:

- 400 euro for the console

- 500 euro for being able to play online

- 75 euro for a second controller

- 10 euro more per game and worse sales 

Now you can't make a fantastic system with 975 euro. But I think when the PS5 launched for that money a 2070/Ryzen 3600 build should have been possible. The paid online and the often 10 euro premium on digital console games significantly decrease the better bang for buck. Granted once in a while you do get a decent PS plus game.

I figure a second controller is optional.  

PC is just more expensive by the time all the components are purchases.  Case, MB, ram, storage, GPU, CPU, OS, fans, KB/M.
