So, old.
Sure, it's old, it's also the current console generation...
I think it’s a bit premature to announce that someone is about to win something when they haven’t released it yet and the last time they released ~~something~~ a desktop console it flopped
Edit
Oh boy, I thought it was clear we were comparing desktop consoles to desktop consoles.
I am not referring to the Steam Deck, the handheld system.
I’m referring to the Steam Machine, which was a desktop console and it did poorly.
The Steam Deck was a flop? I was unaware.
I think if there are objective specifications of a device, and the device's specifications are measurably better than another device there's nothing wrong with comparing the two.
However, the root of my response, which has been so gracefully sidestepped, is regarding the root of the comment that the PS5 is old. Yes, it may be a few years old, but it is still the current console generation.
I guess everyone should just go out and chuck all their old consoles into the giant mountains of E-waste because we should all be setting up to have the newest most powerful thing!
My old ps2 is actually still running and I replay some old favorites from time to time haha
I guess that’s one way to react.
