Online for consoles is one of the reasons I switched to PC.
$500 for the hardware $480 for online over the generation $200 to upgrade the hdd
The above buys one hell of a gpu that will easily outclass the ps6. Add in games on PC being way cheaper, I'm saving at least $200 a year on games.
Console gaming was cheap and convenient compared to PC. Doesn't feel like the case anymore. Plus I love deciding what fps I want. And access to old games isn't limited and behind a pay wall. I'm legit curious what the ps6 looks like, not sure high end consoles have the appeal they once did. |
PC gaming isn't perfect either you have to be willing to play a lot of bad ports, since most big games are optimised like crap for pc.
Also many people prefer to use the couch for gaming rather than sitting behind a desk, which they are already sitting behind for 8 hours a day. I tried a Shield, but it has too many hiccups to rely on.
For a decent pc you will spend 100 dollars on a case, 200 dollars on that same M2 SSD, 500 dollars for motherboard, ram and a CPU, another 400 for a GPU and around 100 for cooling. Most people spend a bit more on cooling and the case for the looks and it running more quietly.
I would argue that you get at least a few games with PS plus that ate worth playing and safe you a bit of money. Especially these days when there is always a PS5 sale going on and I can trade in physical games.
