I think you completely missed the point of what he was making.
It’s definitely a flex, and I think your second point about being able to sell this stuff is nothing but a positive. I’ll happily do that when/if I don’t feel like using it anymore. And with the decrease in physical media being produced I might even profit.
At least put in some effort with the trolling, this is cheap.High quality costs money. This is why smart people prefer PS5 PRO and iPhone.
Low qualify is always cheap or free.
This is why the others prefer
pc.
Looks like you have bought
I have no clue what Microsoft or 2002 have to do with a 2024 "Can 695$ PC outperform PS5 Pro?" thread. Aren't there already enough threads for console warring bullshit?
So by your definition a 4090 PC is the highest quality then.High quality costs money. This is why smart people prefer PS5 PRO and iPhone.
Low qualify is always cheap or free.

They are trolls and maniacs for making videos like that when we are yet to actually see how the thing runs and what kinda PC you will need to match that at the very least. "Specs" don't really mean anything. And even if we are looking at specs..... that video is not making a PC that matches a Pro, not even in the slightest.
First off... in your opinion, so you shouldn't state this as fact. Second, you see how you can't make this value argument without throwing things on top of the console cost, the second you start to do that you should know you are probably making a disingenuous argument.
On PC you get free games with Epic every week which consoles don't get (yes I count those, I've got 200+ free games and a lot I actually play). Not to mention stuff like Amazon Prime gaming if you already have it for other stuff.
The overpriced video card can't fix the terrible user experience, which you suffer from on any pc.
Did you watch the video? And yeah, I agree the PC in there is not matching the Pro. That doesn't mean the Pro is a good value at that price. And saying that specs don't really mean anything is a bit weird. Of course they do mean a lot. And like I said before, we have already seen how some games run on the Pro, so I don't know what are you and some other people in this thread expecting.
Why wouldn't I throw things on top? How many enthusiast users who consider getting a Pro console do you think wouldn't play online? How many such users have a digital only library? And I think the PS+ argument is weak, you often get free games on PC even without paid subscriptions. Also, I'm comparing all digital PC to a disc-based PS5, because on PC you aren't constrained to a single digital store as opposed to a PS5. And even though physical games can be purchased cheaper than digital on PS5, the deals are nowehere near as good as what you get during a typical Steam sale. I know, because I regularly purchase games for both PS5 and PC.
Why do you think the 4060ti (22 tflops) is weaker than a ps5 (10 tflops)?8GB VRAM GPU = garbage
16GB RAM isn't cutting it anymore
2024/2025 PC should have at least GPU with 12GB VRAM as a bare minimum. and 32GB RAM.
This 1000$ PC would be close to PS5 in raw GPU raster ( slightly slower) with AI DLSS and FG.
CPU of course way faster than the mobile Zen2 in consoles with only 4MB L3 per CCX.
We have seen Final Fantasy, which runs great.
Hey now, it was a 1070!
You think using a closed system makes you smart.
Can’t say I’ve ever had a terrible user experience on PC but you do you.
Consoles also come with extra costs like TV (which is usually more expensive than the console).
Certain console gamers want PCs to be like consoles, that's why they make such comments
No, you're missing a lot. Your PC uses more than double the watts so yearly electric differential is more than $80 a year.
Got GTAV free from the Epic Store. Must be an Illusion I guess.You get
zero free games on a pc.
Some people want you to believe that you need a college degree in pc operating in order to play games. Actually it's in 99% of the cases pressing a button to start the pc and another one to start the game. From where do i know this simple concept?
"No exclusives", this argument is so daft. PS got 4 this year alone. Pc is missing out on GTA next year too. If "exclusives" were the reason for owning something what exclusives did PC get? It doesn't really get much of anything and misses out on stuff all the time, including NHL. At least PS gets virtually all major releases. The only PC game I have to look forward to is FS24.
Don't mind them they're trying to build a narrative to sell other hardware.
I remember that. Until then I was watching the channel and thought they were pretty good, but that video....wow.
Good thing they aren't then.
The person is listing it as a bad thing that they don't have them (even when in reality they have exclusives, at least Sony and Nintendo do) .

I know it's a joke but lately I've thought about an actual difference between these PC builds:
Yeah, I agree. Stuff like that should definitely be included in the calculations imo.
When you start comparing accessoires you could also start including monitors and tvs. Most pc gamers use a ~300 Euro monitor, most console gamers a >500 Euro tv.
GN is still among the best. Not sure what was the point Steve was making there. He hates consoles? Funny thing is, he did a review of the thermals and acoustics of the PS5 and came away impressed.
Yeah, it's like 10% of the price and if one want to get really serious all the cables and shit should be included to.
