Only a tiny minority of PC gamers pay monthly for anything.
You can't upgrade the PS5, and the sale price of your 5-year-old unit is like $100.
Free games aren't included in the 10 per month.
The cost of 18 per month to also have old games costs 1300 over 6 years.
The PC you can get for $200 will be awful to use or die within 3 years or both. It will be ridiculous to repair, so you will buy another 200 special hating the shit you bought both times.
Basically at the root a PC and a console are both good for about 6 years but the 700-1300 you pay for online is going to dwarf the buy up from acceptable PC to gaming PC+ hardware.
Cheap PC are the value option expensive pc are the quality option.
Consoles are kind of in between.
Are we talking about a new 200$ pc?
Because if you buy used you can get a very decent non gaming pc for that money.
Maybe I got lucky, my current desktop was 350€ used with a pretty modern and fast CPU (5800x) and a somewhat outdated GPU (vega56).
350€ = 405 USD once you add in a mouse keyboard and monitor you are over 500 the figure I used. Decrease your figures further and it gets shittier fast.
You could always attach the pc to the TV, and if you don't have one you'd need one for the console anyways.
And my screens were like 17,50 each also used obvs. Fair point about the peripheries though...
And my pc would be overkill if you buy a console for gaming.
Using a TV for general computing would be fairly broken due to font rendering and DPI. Comparing used anything is fraught because its filled with caveats and isn't repeatable.
Fair points, my situation doesn't apply to everyone.
I occasionally use my htpc for light office work, the terrible ergonomics are the only problem In that case.
We would have to include used game consoles too then, which I think is fair. If we are talking about just the desktop box and no peripherals though, I think we could make an equivalent xbox one or ps5 for close to the same price. Thats assuming the purchaser is tech savvy enough to navigate deals at places like newegg and microcenter.
Yes they are. 3 free games a month.
That's simply not true.
I didn't say they didn't watch netflix or have internet.
PC gamers don't pay a monthly fee connected to their gaming.
So PC GamePass isn't a thing? If Valve offered a solid subscription offering, gamers would be all over it.
I think the point is that you don't have to pay ANYTHING per month to play apps or games you already fully paid for online whereas not paying for playstation online means you lose that entire aspect of your own device whereas with a ps5 if you stop paying sony you can no longer even use netflix despite paying netflix your isp and sony for their hardware. They use the fact that they control your device to effectively blackmail you by making third party apps contingent on paying their blackmail.
That's not true. You can use Netflix without PSPlus. You can even play Fortnite (and a few others, mostly the online only games) without it.
