Serioid question here.... I've been so attached to consoles growing up though it will be a bit of a big change.

I've seen deals for low spec gaming PCs that cost a little more than a PS5 does now. This is factoring in it's low spec for today's hardware and the PS5 came out in 2020.

They come in ITX cases as well so they're smaller than a regular desktop so you could easily have one at the TV like a dedicated console.

You could set it up to automatically open steam in big picture mode so you get that console experience and the added benefit of all the games you already own ready to download.

The only reason to get a console now is to match the system your friends play online with. Exclusives are becoming less of a concern
