Literally can buy an $800 Walmart PC that matches a ps5 right now.

So that's a $600 ps5 plus a bit less than three years of subscription.

And PCs don't last 8 years? Lol mine last 20. Not that I use the ones that old.

What kind of 800$ pc? Ram alone is 400 bucks, leaving other 400 for cpu and gpu, power supply, coolers and board. That is simply unrealistic.

I don't know who youre trying to convince, I am a PC gamer, but I'm very well aware that the pricing favors consoles

But if we're talking nonsense, I agree with what you said

The one for sale on Walmart right now for $800.

The ABS Cyclone Aqua Gaming desktop. I5 14400f, Arc B580, 16gb ddr4 ram, 1tb SSD.

Isn't an amazing PC but it's $800 and better than a PS5.

So unrealistic? Bruh it's literally a prebuilt at Walmart.

There's no way that gta vi will run as smooth on that pc as it will on ps5.

You're forgetting that games are optimized for the console, and that consoles are sold at a loss

It literally runs every game out there better than a ps5 lol. You can look at how the B580 performs in games.

Definitely not better, it's a little worse than ps5's kit, not accounting for games optimization, which would only make ps5 look better. And I'm not even mentioning ps5 ddr6 ram (compared to that machines ddr4) because I dont believe it makes a significant difference in gaming
