No they are not. The total cost of ownership is much higher with consoles. That is even if you don't pirate. Not to mention that the buying price for consoles is only competitive in the first few years of a generation.
No, you wait around inserting a disk, and for a 100GB update to finish.
This is a bad thing. On PC, I can decide to play it how I want. Do I want to trave in fidelity for performance? I can. Do I want to do the reverse? I can.
They don't let you check fps on consoles because of you knew how pathetic it was, and if you ever had any experience playing on PC, you'd know how much of a rip off consoles are and switch over.
This is never the case. A wide range of hardware work with PC games. PC parts are interoperable by design. The two main GPU vendors - AMD and Intel, optimize the hell out of their drivers. If a game is optimized, it is automatically optimized for all hardware.
I have a PC and an inherited PS5, I use the PS5 more because I'm lazy and spend all day on a computer for work. When I get home the last thing I want to do is sit at a desk and touch a keyboard lol
You can set up your PC for couch play just as easily. If you're invested in a wireless mouse/keyboard instead of a PS5, or spent 5 minutes setting up steam big picture, you could have saved a whole lot of money.
You could also pirate your games on PC (which you should be doing). You could have saved thousands if only you weren't brainwashed by console manufacturer propaganda
I'm aware of this. I just have a PS5 and I use the PC for work. I also didn't buy the PS5 and wouldn't have it it wasn't for my brother dying and me inheriting it.
I suppose if it's your brother's then you wouldn't want to sell it and get a PC instead for the sentimental value of it.
Yeah, plus I already have a PC. I just don't really like gaming on it since I mostly use it for work.
That's fine. And controllers work on PC as well.
you don't have to put the pc on a desk. watch out for latency if you use a television instead of a monitor though
