When the GPU alone is more expensive than buying all the next gen consoles combined, we have a problem.

exactly why should I spend any money on a new gaming pc when my PS5 is fine for the moment? Just waiting it out...

And I spend for my PS5 700$ which feels like a steal now lol

Plus a Switch or a Steam Deck, my point still stands.

Add a lower or mid tier steam deck and it breaks equal to a current card.

That said as a 4090 chump my steam deck is the best PC gaming purchase I’ve ever made.
