Should I get a PS5? (lemmy.ml)

I already have a steam deck. But, I am thinking of getting a PS5 for the games that can’t run on the deck or would be better played on a console. Is this a silly idea? Redundant? I would have a steam deck and a pS5.

I would need to get a tv/monitor to go with the console.

I’m not in a position to get a PC or build one, hence, the steam deck.

OP stated they would have to buy a Tv if they bought a console.

I gamed on a regular 'ol potato PS4 (not the Pro) up until last year when I bought a Deck. Gave the PS4 to a friend who's still using it.

Not everybody has to have the absolute latest tech the second it comes out.

I was merely responding to the accusation that I was making a disingenuous argument by including the price of a TV in my cost estimation by pointing out that OP straight up said they would have to buy a TV to use a console.

I don't think I ever stated that everyone has to have the latest tech, and I don't think my argument relies on such a premise to be persuasive.

If you had taken the money you spent on a PS4 and bought a budget gaming PC, then took the money you spent on the deck to buy a new graphics card for that same PC, you'd have a system more powerful than the PS4 (or PS5) or the deck for the same cost.

You seriously think people only buy consoles the year they're released?

Well, since you've edited your comment it doesn't matter what the other person and I responded to. You could make any argument up and no one knows the difference.
