You severely misunderstand what that hardware is. There’s ready few videos on how to make a PC in that price. JayTwoCent is probably one of the better ones.
And then you’d need to learn the basics of Linux and solving issues related to gaming, that does not bother me (I like to hack stuff and set up Chinese handhelds lol) but it bothers my PC gaming Windows friends.
Am genuinely curious, because saying “it’s true” isn’t a source, nor has anyone given a source other than downvotes to OP. If sources cannot be backed up, they’re not true, especially on Lemmy.
Author of that article produced a PC for about $867 iirc that rivaled the pro.
The pro doesn’t include a stand $30 or a disk drive $60. A drive for the PC is under $20. This is all USD.
If you want to play online that’s another $120 per year for PlayStation.
When you start adding up all the little expenses and then factor in that a PC can do 100 things a console can’t, it’s going to be a better investment in the short and long run to get a PC over a PS5 Pro
Also no source for this because you can take a calculator and figure it out yourself
No more than I want to build a ps5. We’re talking about a ready to go machine off the shelf.
Nobody who isn’t a niche PC gamer wants to build a PC. It’s a pain in the ass and I don’t want to hear another comment saying it isn’t cause I don’t wanna hear it. I DON’T WANT TO BUILD A PC
'fraid you got no option but take whatever spank Sony had planned for you, then.

Yeah, Nvidia will certainly shutdown in the coming weeks, sorry to see them go under. But I guess their business is too niche for all the R&D spending clearly beyond the Sony.
Sorry for the confusion, I mean as the value around 2nd hand owner market: which, contrary to console, is always an option for parts for next generation gaming.
I know Japan is not that much in 2nd market and buy pre-owned thing: I wonder if PC gaming would encourage them into this option, since it’s so much widely known thing in the PC gaming industry.

Is that possible? Where I live the ps5 pro is $1k but a gaming computer with the same power will run you $3-4k you can’t really compete
That’s like 4090 build range in other places https://pcpartpicker.com/b/drNPxr

I don’t want to make a PC. Just like I don’t want to build my own ps5
Wrong community then. Go to the console or sony community please if you can’t reason.
Yeah no reasoning here
I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted as that’s okay. Plenty of solid press builds too. But takes little research to find the best brand.
It’s like an extra $50 or a few beers for someone to put it together for you.
Then you are in the same price range as PS5 but freedom of PC.
What freedom?
If they are buying premade it likely comes with Windows
Nothing stops you from installing arch Linux btw

we say the same for consoles so that doesn’t matter though ps5 linux is being worked on currently at least the PS5 is a BSD (FreeBSD11)
You can build a PC that will outperform the PS5 Pro for less than 1k USD
Source?
30 years of computer building

Newegg.com. Any build with a 6800 or better, 8 core CPU and 16 GB Ram.

Are you sure? A RX 6600 XT is about 200€.
4000 buck would about twenty RX 6600 XT: with that amount of GPU you play… Blender’s render in realtime.
Well I’m in Canada, where that 200 turns into 600+ Canadian real easy
Sorry, but I live in Canada as well and have built several computers myself. These numbers you’re citing are BS.

(Put this /s here, just in case)
I don’t know how it works in your market but here, the major hardware retailers will assemble your machine for an extra 80 euros or so.
