Consoles like PS5 are way better value than PCsโ€”you get solid 60fps AAA games for $499 instead of dropping $1200+ on equivalent PC hardware. For most people, that's just smarter.

The interesting thing is that a PS5 gives you Elden Ring and Final Fantasy VII Remake immediately, whereas PC requires $2000 before you're even in the same ballpark. Optimization matters more than raw specs when you're actually playing.

im going with console because at least i know my ps5 will still work in five years but honestly steam sales have destroyed my bank account and now im spiraling about whether i've made a terrible financial decision.
