You can build a PC that will outperform the PS5 Pro for less than 1k USD
Source?
30 years of computer building
Am genuinely curious, because saying "it's true" isn't a source, nor has anyone given a source other than downvotes to OP. If sources cannot be backed up, they're not true, especially on Lemmy.
Newegg.com. Any build with a 6800 or better, 8 core CPU and 16 GB Ram.

Author of that article produced a PC for about $867 iirc that rivaled the pro.
The pro doesn't include a stand $30 or a disk drive $60. A drive for the PC is under $20. This is all USD.
If you want to play online that's another $120 per year for PlayStation.
When you start adding up all the little expenses and then factor in that a PC can do 100 things a console can't, it's going to be a better investment in the short and long run to get a PC over a PS5 Pro
Also no source for this because you can take a calculator and figure it out yourself
