Sony reveals PS5 load times with custom made SSD

  1. You will always buy a console AND a computer. Everyone needs a computer for the most part.

  2. Console games are expensive, difficult to pirate, and the console environments are locked-down and exclude the massive library of free-to-play quality PC games.

  3. Consoles charge you a monthly fee to access the Internet and have many of their features tied to Internet access.

  4. Console controllers are a vastly more infuriating rip-off than reasonable and quality PC peripherals.

  5. Each generation of buying a console represents lost value in terms of the library that you purchased. It will go in a close, most titles won't be backwards compatible with the new system, and eventually they will have lost all utility whatsoever. I still have Heroes of Might and Magic savegames from 2003 on PC, and my entire library remains accessible and enjoyable through Steam.

  6. You can play multiplayer FPS just fine on a decent TV. My samsung 55" 4k TV has native 60hz resolution and I play PUBG at 2k resolution on the highest settings and it looks incredible. It is a vastly superior experience to anything that any console offers, and probably superior to anything the next generation of consoles will offer.

Absolutely my computer with a 3 generation old overclocked i7 and 1070 gpu is more expensive than any console. Is it more expensive than all the consoles that it has outlived? In 6 years you've paid Xbox or Sony...what $700+ just to access the Internet? That's pretty much the price of a mid-range gaming rig....
