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.

Such a broad question to answer with so little context.

Taking that into the equation, I’ll say "No." If you needed one, you’d be talking about your need to play the latest Spider-Man, God of War, etc before they get pc releases. You don’t need to scratch every itch.

Agreed. The fact that they ask while giving no information instead of just buying it makes me feel like they can't comfortably afford it without sacrificing something else. If they really don't have very strong opinions about it, they're probably better off saving their money.
