Lmao no my steam deck does not blow my PS5 out of the water. It’s a great system, don’t get me wrong, but it serves an entirely different niche than my PS5. My PS5 outperforms my $2500 gaming PC, and both of them run circles around the steam deck even if you throttle them to 50% power somehow.
$2,500 PC outperformes by a PS5? What?
Did you buy a $2,000 case? Or is it pre-built?
I built it one year before the PS5 released, with a mix of mid range and top end parts. Just the CPU was $500, GPU $800, Case $200, etc etc. I think people underestimate how much you have to spend to even MATCH the PS5. You need to spend about the price of the PS5 on just a GPU, unless you’re buying second hand.
The PS5 has a CPU equivalent of a Ryzen 2600. You didn’t have to spend 500 bucks on a CPU to outperform it.
The 3600x was released a year before the PS5, and was $200 on launch. You either got screwed over or don’t know what your talking about?
GPU wise it’s different, but there were compounding factors that inflated the prices. If you got a GPU from before the pandemic, chances are $800 would get you top of the line, which probably outperform the PS5 even to this day.
Now does a PS5 cost less ? Sure, they sell them at a loss and make money on games and online scam subscription services.
Edit: my bad the PS5 has a 3700x, so the 3600x comparison is still valid. Can’t check the release price of the 3700vs3600 but it’s not 2x higher anyway.
