In a new interview, PlayStation’s top business executive defended the decision, insisting the company had to “adjust” to market conditions.

      Steam deck is a good reasonably priced alternative for people wanting to switch

      The rough equivalent of the PS5 GPU (~40 CUs of RDNA2) is the RX6700 XT at ~300 dollars. Pricing has not been great but let’s not exaggerate lol

          2019/2020 was a poor year from a price/longevity perspective, yeah. All of us who got a GPU around those days didn’t necessarily get the best deal. I’m satisfied with what I got out of my 3060Ti but I feel that many wouldn’t be.

          I don’t mention 2021 because, well, you know, it’s not like you could even find one so

            Yup I still have that 5700XT and it’s perfectly capable for nearly every game I enjoy today. I haven’t seen a reason to upgrade just yet.

        I swiped a 3070ti for 400 and it wrecks the PS5 (not saying the PS5 is bad by any means!)

      Yes you can pay that. But $300 gets you a very functional card. And you can upgrade your PC in increments.
