    Steam Deck all the way. Also Sony’s been shit since at least the 2011 hack.

    You can also get PC games from all kinds of sources and sales that ultimately are far cheaper than the pithy Playstation sales. It greatly offsets costs over time.

    You also have far more backwards compatibility and flexibility especially to do things with controller profiles and mods, etc.

      Not to mention in 5 years you can replace one part on the pc and increase performance.

      You don’t need to upgrade every part every time

        While this is technically true, in practice I’ve found there’s always something the old PC is missing, tech wise.

        Socket change. Ram version change. New version of PCIe.

        Effectively you need to do mobo/cpu/ram all together.

        The only other components are GPU and storage, which I agree are generally transferable, but depending on age you may want to upgrade too.

        I guess PSU but that is thankfully something you almost never need to upgrade, unless your new GPU sucks down a lot more watts.

        Maybe if I had an AM5 board I would be in a better state, but currently on AM4 so my upgrade paths are limited (already on a 5000 series chip).
