Well I have a PC also but for me I wanted to play with a specific friend who I’ve always played games with growing up.
It was cheaper for me to buy two PS5’s and give him one than it was to buy us both PCs that could run new games at the same fps as the PS5.
Also, Sony let’s you gameshare not only individual games but the PS plus subscription service as a whole as well.
What that means is when I buy a game, me and him can play the game together at the same time (steams game sharing doesn’t do that only one can be online playing it at a time) AND he doesn’t even have to pay for online as long as I have PS plus and have his console set up as my primary and vice versa.
That still comes out miles ahead from the cost it would have taken to get us both a decent gaming PC and games on top of it. Every single time you both want to play, boom two copies of the game have to be bought.
And since we share PS plus it really still makes it cheaper than gaming on PC. Especially now like yeah ps5 went up but you have to practically be a drug dealer or something to afford a new PC now (kidding of course, but not far off) so its still a lot cheaper to just get a ps5.
Also the exclusives on PlayStation are absolute titties. God of War and the Ghost of Tsushima series are my jam but there’s several others too.
Xbox though, yeah I don’t know why anyone would buy an Xbox anymore. I had one and when they raised game pass 50% I sold it and will never fuck with Xbox or any other Microsoft product ever again, minus using my friends computer to update my Garmin when it needs it since its windows only.
Edit: also forgot to add I can play anything on it without having to install kernal level “anticheat” on my computer. Linux won’t support it anyway, but the point still stands.
