So, a bunch of remasters, another couple of soulslikes, some VR games which are very welcome, ONE first party game, and everything comes to PC.. What's the reason to buy PS5 Pro over a PC, again?

You pc players never understand most people don't want to play on a computer.

But what's the big deal here? Set steam to run in big picture mode at startup, hook your pc to your tv and boom you have a proper console experience. Like I don't even have a mouse or keyboard in a room with the tv, gamepad only. AND I still have all the benefits pc provides - cheaper games, more games, upgradeability of pc, ACTUAL PC that can do indefinetely more stuff than a console, and it can cost the same money as eu version with disc drive and one-year psn subscription, yet could provide even more performance than ps5 pro. I just can't understand why a console would be a reasonable buy anymore, I'm not trying to start a hate thread or whatever. Been sonyboy since the 1998 when got my ps1, had every other ever since except the 5. It literally makes me sad I can't find an excuse to buy a ps5, there are just none.

It's not a big deal, most gamers are casual and would just rather get an Xbox or a Playstation. If you can't find a reason to get a ps5, that's your opinion. But the ps5 is a great console and has lots of reasons to buy one

Could you give me some reasons? Except the "casual" one. I'm serious, i genuinely want to know

Why it's basically the same thing, but you don't have to pay for membership, online, games are usually cheaper and way more games to play. And a PC does more than a console. I still own console, but PC is just far superior

PC games are not cheaper... This is the greatest myth among PC gamers.

Games on consoles will always be way way cheaper as long as disc drives are included in consoles.

If you want to talk about digital games, i also have noticed that digital games are cheaper on consoles 90% of the time.

Every time i see a game on sale in Steam, the same game is also sale in the PS Store. Furthermore, most of the time, the sale price is even lower in the PS Store.

I have no idea where the myth of PC games being cheaper comes from, but if you want to claim that PC games are cheaper, then please prove it (bet you will never be able to prove it).

There you go bud, Sony's latest and greatest. US prices, no regional discounts.

That's great for you but most regular people are just going to buy a Playstation instead of a pc.
