Even if you have to pay $1000, a PC offers so much more in the form of what you can use it for, longevity, uprade-ability, repair-ability, no online play subscription, more games, emulators, the option for an optical drive for only $20, and so much more that it's worth the extra $300

[@JohnSmith-b6n]

The FORCED subscription service should be added as base cost and at least labeled as "minimum lifetime cost"

[@n3xus236]

$1,000 is a low point to build something LIKE the ps5 (pro). The reality is games will be more optimized for console than for pc. Also the repair part is bullcrap for both, pc components AND consoles last for years even without proper maintenance/cleaning. The benefits of pc over console are the library of games and emulators. Most people only need a $200 laptop for their daily lives that's the reality. Also pc parts are MUCH more expensive outside the US

US prices are without tax....

[@Sgt_SealCluber]

The $700 is a bit misleading for people in the EU since the €800 price includes all taxes (I'm assuming it's not a pre-VAT price). Assuming a rough average sales tax the US one is $750 or roughly €680, so that makes it roughly $130 more than the US price. Looks like the UK's price is roughly $160 more.

[@ByTexify]

I don't even think 8k will ever be a thing for a very long time. Just seems very unnecessary. HDR would have a much bigger impact on visuals I think.

[@landmine36]

8K is already a thing, just games, computers, and consoles can't process it fast enough to be used, TV's / movies can. And unless you're super budget, basically every TV/Console/PC already support HDR/UHDR, and Ray Tracing is rapidly approaching being right there beside it. 8K is pretty pointless though, and if anything doesn't need to be developed any further, but tech/tv manufacturers *have* to, because if they don't once they make 8k UHDR OLed etc etc panels, and they all become so affordable people have them and aren't upgrading to the latest and greats yearly they will go out of business. So because of that Display tech will continue to be so far ahead nothing can fully utilize it, if someone bought an 8K + extras today, that display would be beyond usable spec for atleast 10 years.

[@Black_Magic_Pearl]

@@razingst0rmeven though you need to download the game off the license on the disc, you still need to have the disc to play I believe(unless they changed it) which means it’s still a “physical copy” and has some sort of resale value.

discs are outdated man.. many modern games on disc you cant even play offline.. so having a disc does not mean more than having it on a ssd.

[@nicodimus2222]

@@CMDR_MetalMadness But what I said is true. The game IS on the disc, otherwise I couldn't install and play it without an internet connection. Your claim that it's not on the disc has been debunked. Personally, I don't buy any games that require an internet connection. The live service game model is inherently anti-consumer. It is designed to maximize corporate profit, while giving players as little as possible. I also don't trust Sony to not delist and/or remove digital games whenever they feel like it, or charge whatever they want because they have a monopoly on digital games, as there are no other digital options on their console. Sony is getting sued in the UK for that monopolistic business practice right now. Physical media gives you options, and having options never goes out of style. Fail to learn this at your own peril.

[@Lurch-Bot]

Same here, though I'm not sure there will be another console generation, considering they are doing away with exclusives. By the time the current generation approaches the end of it's lifecycle, they will be facing stiff competition from mini PCs, handheld PCs and Steam OS, which Valve seems totally willing to share with any handheld manufacturer. Also, by then, I expect pretty much everything will be able to run on Steam OS.

[@ColJonSquall1]

I mean, specifically people are pissed that the price point went to $700 USD, and while there is a performance uplift (they didn't show it well), the main issue is that is 200 bucks more, with no disc drive included, and no vertical stand (which is whatever to me, but people did bring it up as a pain point). If people are spending that much (especially if they don't have really good internet), a disc drive is 100% a must.

[@MrCoombzy]

Not just that, games are cheaper by buying the disc the majority of the time, especially used.

[@DKarkarov]

Yeah the reason I have no interest in the ps5 pro is simply that the disc drive is a forced extra. No thanks. I actually use my ps5 as my blu ray player, and I like buying physical game copies on console often times, I need that disc drive. Paying 775 dollars just to get like 60fps ray tracing in some games... nah if it is a graphically crazy game like cyberpunk I will just stick to pc for that.

[@RealAlphaDrum]

I'm generally a console person, and well, a console rarely, if at all, will do something a PC cannot do. The appeal of the console is you can plug it in and be done.

[@lukefregona7973]

I’m a console guy myself, but I’m afraid I will need to disagree with you here. You don’t need to build a gaming PC, you can buy them ready made very easily if you’re a ‘plug and play’ kinda person. As well, there’s quite a bit more a PC can do that a console cannot. Consoles are fine if you are only interested in gaming and streaming, but a gaming PC can double as your work station at home. You can write documents, browse the web, and if you’re into graphic designing it’s already set up to run whatever you’ll need. I’ve always been a console guy but I must admit, with the easier accessibility to mods and the promise of doubling as a work station, I’m nearly ready to jump ship 👀

[@RealAlphaDrum]

@lukefregona7973 even with an already made pc, it's not just plug and play. Still need to check drivers, download the game, tinker with the graphics settings, etc. Though i never said build your own pc. Outside of that, we are saying the same thing: Very rarely, will a console do something a pc cannot do.

[@onalert413]

@@RealAlphaDrum Windows more or less takes care of your drivers for you as long as you're up to date. Failing that, you have apps for Nvidia and AMD cards that automatically can handle the drivers for you and even automatically set game settings based on your desired performance. A lot of games automatically set optimal settings at launch too. It's really only marginally more effort for a much more versatile machine that can match or exceed the console experience.

[@sonofgotham3696]

​​​​​@@RealAlphaDrum to add on to what @onalert413 is saying, and they're totally right, is that u basically start with a ton of presets in the game's settings. U pick one, sometimes there's even an optimize button, then increase or decrease the sliders from there, and that's only if u want more fps. Its like the options you get on a ps5 game plus idk like 10 sliders at the absolute most.. and even those have presets. It's not a lot at all and doesn't take much longer than setting your sound or your sensitivity.

[@OneTrueRicky]

The other thing that people often forget is you can hook up your PS or Xbox controller to your PC and play your games like that for a LOT of titles and you can have your casual gaming experience like on your console.

Disclaimer: I am a PC player and long ago abandoned consoles (PS2 maybe? lol). I have long said and continue to argue that PCs are better for gaming in almost every way - even if you want to game on your nice TV from your couch with a controller. However, there is something console players get that PC users will never get - optimization. Because a console is locked down with proprietary software and even some of the hardware, every console should behave the same way every time. Yes, obviously there are outliers just like there are with literally everything, but in general that PS5 sitting on Jay's desk should behave the same as any other PS5 in anyone else's house. Because of this, games released on consoles can be ultra optimized by the devs all the way down to the most miniscule of tweaks in an attempt to squeeze the most performance or the best looking visuals on potentially lesser hardware - and it should be rather consistent from machine to machine. This is why a lot of console gamers believe they're getting the better deal because they didn't have to do anything other than plug it in, and turn it on Look, we ALL know more than one person in our lives that we just wish DIDN'T have a computer because they're so tech-illiterate that they're always asking for help. Do you want THAT person gaming on a custom gaming PC? Absolutely NOT. There's also just something to be said for the ease of use and convenience of a console - and for some people that's worth it even if they know they could be getting more with a PC Anyway there's something for everyone, and I truly believe that the argument of "which is better" is literally the stupidest argument ever because they just aren't made for the same people for the same purpose TY for coming to my TeD TaLk

[@ॐIo]

I only keep my console around for its exclusives. Everything else is on PC. Steam Deck is the best console to date

[@OD_Plays]

its like the iPhones vs android comparison, all iPhones run on the same software and basically hardware, so that means that optimizing for all iPhones will be easier, unlike android, where each android phone is completely different

[@ZzX010]

Well said. Good balance of pros and cons and pointing out the whole different strokes for different folks thing. I am also a PC gamer, (5900x & 3080) and love the high quality visuals and FPS I get @3440x1440. I'm still going to be buying a PS5 Pro. Why? As you said, optimization and plug'n'play. A benefit you left out are the few exclusive games (if you care about the exclusives, which, yes, I do). There are also some game publishers (Looking at you Ubisoft and EA) that have launchers and unoptimized/laggy games with Jedi Survivor being a perfect example of unoptimized/laggy a year and change after release, when my pc should have a smooth high FPS experience. On PS5, I've heard it plays a lot better, and bonus, doesn't have the stupid launchers. Also, I will be buying the UHD-bluray player for 4k movie night which is something my pc CANNOT do since I can't find a 4kBluRay player for PC (that reads 4k movies, ask my UHD-bluray read/writer for my PC on the difference *exasperated sigh*). FInal reason for buying the PS5 Pro, I have an OG PS4 with a ton of games for it (some on discs) which will benefit from the PS5 Pro's backwards compatability and uplift in visuals/performance. Disclaimer: If I already owned a PS5, I wouldn't buy the PS5 Pro, just like I didn't buy the PS4 pro because I have an OG PS4.

[@NexGen-3D]

With a PC, you just brute force your way through the bad optimisations, I dropped consoles when they stopped making real mod chips for them, PS2 and OG XBOX if I remember, I much prefer to own my hardware and do what ever I like with it, versus this locked down eco system of consoles today, even if I have to pay twice as much for it, a powerful PC doesn't just play games, it has a crap ton of other uses, so much better investment in my opinion, I run a HTPC with Bazzite on there and it turns my TV into giant Steamdeck, very console like experience.

The reason they said “67%” instead of “60 CUs” is because to 99.999% of people on the planet, “60 CUs” means absolutely nothing. They won’t have a clue how many CUs the PS5 has, or even what that means (“is that like 4K or something?”) But 67%… well, that’s clearly a more biggerer, betterer, more impressive number!

That's because the way they explained it in the reveal was very disingenuous, it is actually a change in architecture, the PS5 Pro is using a RDNA 3 Navi 32 Chip because it has a better upscaling performance. But even still it only barely breaks even with the Xbox's RDNA 2 Navi 21 chip

[@fullerfit93]

Percentages change. CU counts don't. For example, the 890m has 33% more CUs then the 880m but doesn't equate to 33% more performance. More like 15%

Actually you don't gain performance using GDDR on a CPU because of they way it is tuned/optimized for graphics which creates higher latencies when used with a CPU .... That's why you never see GDDR RAM sold by computer memory vendors ..... Believe me if they could just slap GDDR chips on a UDIMM and gain higher performance they would have done that long ago Another thing you got wrong is the PS5 Pro has AI cores and will use AI upscaling ( PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) like DLSS or XeSS although we can't say yet if Sony's AI upscaler will be as good as DLSS .... Frankly I think this is actually AMD's AI upscaling co-developed with Sony and will eventually be FSR4 and AMD is simply holding it back from PC users so Sony would have first crack at it. The reason I believe that is the 7000 series GPUs have the same AI cores but they are not currently being used. I suspect they won't be used until the next gen AMD GPUs are released and then AMD will also release FSR4 which will be an AI upscaler like DLSS

13:07 why should no PC gamer play on a TV??? I wasn't even aware that there is a right and a wrong way of doing it. Just because having a dedicated desk and sitting right in front of your monitor is right for you doesn't mean it's the only acceptable way. I've been gaming on a 65" OLED TV at 120Hz for the past five years or so and I had a lot of fun with it. My TV is better than most monitors. It's color graded and I'm even editing all my photos on the TV. Claiming that people SHOULDN'T use a TV for a PC is just nonsense.

It's a matter of pixel density that prevents most from using a larger display like a 65" 4k TV as a monitor. Sure they are much better now then in the past with latency. BUT I don't feel like sitting 10+ feet away from the display in order to not see the pixels. A 65" 4K TV is unusable when you are too close, and at a proper distance to prevent seeing the pixels, you're basically turning your 65" TV into a usable 27 - 34" display. SO for me I would rather just slap three 27" 1440p monitors in front of me. At the typical desk sitting distance (about 3 feet)a 27" 1440P monitor has enough pixel density to not distinguish the spaces between them. So as long as you are happy with sitting that far from your display, cool. Also If your TV was 4k and 40" or less then pixel density wouldn't be an issue, but then you would have to sit much closer, weight of a TV would be the main concern at that point, as most quality higher pixel dense TV weigh substantially more then a monitor. Since they tend to forgo the speakers, TV tuner and other things that add the weight to the TV.

I really think that the mentality of "Consoles vs PCs" has always been such a strange mentality for people to have. They serve different purposes, despite having an overlap in both offering a way to play games. For anyone who just wants something that they can plug and play (aside from setting up an account, now, I guess) and expect it to just work, without the relative complexities of Windows/Mac/Linux on top of whatever games services for a PC, and whatever potential tech support issues they may find with getting controllers/peripherals working on different games/services, and any of the other potential oddities that can come with PC gaming. I love gaming on my PC, but I would never suggest PC gaming to the less tech savvy people in my life, because I know it would simply mean constant headaches for me for however long it took to get things working for them, and whenever anything went wrong. Meanwhile a console just works. Obviously on the other hand, if someone wants more than just a gaming machine, then they're already not going to be looking for a console. Realistically, I think the PS5 pro is mostly going to be a very low-yield product, that is going to serve as a way to make the cost of the base model PS5 look less daunting by comparison for parents going to the store to buy Christmas presents, or people looking to get a PS5 so they can play the exclusive games/play online with their friends. The PS4 pro sold around 15% of the total PS4 sales, and it was a much bigger (or at least more significant) jump over the base model, at a smaller price jump (obviously at a very different economic time in the world as well). So I'm guessing Sony is expecting the PS5 pro to sell _less_ relative to the base PS5, which is why they've priced it higher, both to bring it closer to their cost (or even sell it at a profit) and to - as I previously mentioned - have it be the "big intimidating price" next to the (relatively) lower priced base model that will even be bundled with a game (or multiple) this holiday season.

Yes, a PC is a far more capable platform for many things, but we have to accept that if you want access to the latest games on a budget, it simply cannot compete with consoles as a value proposition. Anyone trying to tell themselves otherwise is misguided. I would have been genuinely interested in a fair comparison, but this is ridiculous.

So just for fun I went on pcpartpicker to see what I could achieve for similar money to what a PS5 pro + stand costs in europe, while trying to match or beat the PS5 pro`s specs as much as I can. For this I made a few assumptions: the cpu is equivalent to a 3700x, the presumed gpu is essentially an rx6800, the ssd is pcie gen 4 What I ended up with is as follows: -ryzen 5600x (costs basicly the same as the 3700x so is interchangable for the purposes of this excercise, I chose the 5600x because of better single core performance). -16gb ddr3200 ram, the cheapest ram I could (because AM4, and I needed to save budget where I could). Turns out it`s corsair ram though, which is good. Also, 30ish euro for 2x8gb feels really cheap, even if it`s DDR4 -2tb patriot p400lite (was the cheapest pcie gen4 2tb SSD that showed up, don`t know how good it is) -some cheapo zalmo case, costs 40€, comes with some fans, good enough -the cheapest 80+ bronze 650w power supply that showed up. It`s an MSI PSU and has an actual rating, so I assume it won`t randomly explode. It`s 55€ btw, so not suspitiously cheap either -the GPU: I ended up chosing the 7700xt because it seems to perform slightly better than the rx6800 while also having newer features from AMD like their latest FSR and frame gen. You can substitute the 7700xt for a 4060ti (8gb), if you want to sacrifice a bit of raw power for better ray tracing, upscaling, and frame generation tech. A quick google search suggests the RTX4060ti might also perform similarly to the rx6800. Vram might be an issue for 4k, which is part of why I went for the AMD, but maybe with some extra sacrifices elsewhere a 16gb variant of the rtx4060ti might be more doable -the mobo was the cheapest one I could chose, once again. It`s a Gigabyte board, so I`m sure it`s fine. So, to be completely honest, the total cost according to pcpartpicker is 870€, or 50€ more than the PS5 pro and it`s stand, and you still need an os (windows can be had for 20 bucks from a site like instant gaming, and Linux is free) and either peripherals or a controler. Bear in mind that I had the site set to only pull prices off of amazon france (my local amazon, so to speak), meaning the same parts can maybe be had for less elsewhere, or other storefronts have cheaper alternatives. I also don`t think any of the parts I chose were on sale, meaning that there is room to spend less on these componants, or to get better hardware for similar money, especially with black friday coming up. Also keep in mind that simply going down to a 1tb drive will also get us back within budget. I also don`t feel at all bad for going over budget a bit, because we don`t benefit from bulk purchase pricing like a manufacturer like Sony does, and each individual componant costs us significantly more than it costs them. Also, it`s a pc, which means it can do so much more than just game, which in of itself adds extra value to the pc, that easily offsets the fact I went over budget, as well as the fact the console`s price includes a controller, which I would still have to buy, on top of the price of the system itself. With all that said, I am genuinly curious to know how well I did, and how well my config would hold up vs the PS5 pro. I`m personally pretty confidant it would be comperable in both visual fidelity and performance, but I guess I`m going to have to wait until benchmarks and hardware comparisons betwern the console and pc hardware drop
