pleez lets BOYCOTT SONY plz

I bought a PS5 like 3 or 4 months ago from Costco… I’ve not opened the box or anything (for one reason or another) + I’ve got a rig, n am in the middle of putting a new one together) … I don’t mind not plugging it(PS5) in for another 3 to 4 months.

Shame 😔 on Sony

    The problem with all these ‘pc gaming is more expensive than console’ comments is that they’re always talking about the latest most expensive pc when a lower end one could easily match the latest console generation at a fraction of the price. Nobody really needs a 30k ti series graphics card Unless you’re doing vr or some intensive work. My 1066 that cost me under 200 bucks is plenty to play pretty much all games at a reasonable quality.

    I’m not saying this as a console hater. I’m saying this as someone who owns both and has always owned both. I’m not even loyal to any particular pc or console manufacturer. I just buy whatever fits me the best at that particular time.

      I mean, you could buy old hardware and find that the newly released game you really wanted to play doesn’t run.

      I had planned to skip the 970, but the 1070 “never” came.

      Ended up biting the bullet when Just Cause 3 launched and my old AMD GPU was giving me seconds per frame. Sometimes even two digits.

      Consoles are more or less static targets and as such the games are optimized for them.

      PC will always have cutting edge graphics, but the last couple of console generations haven’t exactly been slouches either. A lot of bang for your buck compared to the GPU market.

      It used to be that a mid tier current gen GPU was $300, now it’s $600 for the mid tier last gen.

      That’s not adjusted for inflation, just price gouging.

      If anything is killing PC gaming that’s the problem. People don’t mind paying extra for a superior experience, especially when it’s a multipurpose machine, but ridiculously expensive GPU’s is tragic.

      if it lasts it may lead to the new generations growing up on consoles only due to the price.

      On the other hand, Apple really wants to get into the gaming space, so who knows what will happen next?
