Unlikely unless you like low frame rates. Putting it on the original PS5 box was false advertising for a start, but lots of people fall for marketing rubbish instead of doing their own research first.
Smellsforfree i mean it depends what kind of games you are looking for. I know what you mean if console ports aren't your thing, but hey, there is lots of rumours of Valve making new half life games so there's that at least!
For being a console it will be good and graphics similar to a mid range graphics card of now on computer. But pc also next gen is right around the corner for graphics cards and will speed ahead again like always.
The problem for Pro is the processor being outdated so it is kind of unbalanced. boost for graphics but framerate will not see much benefit in intense parts of games
It gonna be = to a mid range PC graphics card of today but next generation graphjics cards are right around the corner so will speed ahead once again. It will be a good uplift for console players but games will also be limited by a bit of a lacking CPU considering it is still zen 2 from 2019. So framerate will be a limiting factor again.
You have to remember that it's mostly console guys that visit this site, primarily Sony fans. So anything said against their machine will be automatically down voted, even if what you say has truth in it.
All I'm seeing is mostly cope here.
If it wants to be most realistic it would let you visit the UK and insult someone with some swear words, then have the police come and arrest you for hurting someone's feelings.
Actually they can make it more powerful when docked if they put dedicated cooling inside the dock. Nintendo usually goes the simple and cheapest way though.
An unsurprising move from Greedtendo
Or both if you have decent money. Xbox is almost pointless if you have a decent PC unless you want to play some odd exclusive Xbox/360 game that MIGHT be backwards compatible with it.
PC and Sony console is probably the best combo, and/or Nintendo console if you care about the exclusive games on those particular machines.
The 4090 is a big jump, the problem is price. Most of the other cards are poor upgrades over the 30 series, especially with the way they are priced. 4080 is just very poor value.
Current rumors also point to the 50 series launching later than usual. Supposedly early 2025, but I'm not sure if that has even been confirmed. Possibly they might delay the launch given they are so far ahead of AMD. Who knows though.
That has pretty much always been the answer. The only difference these days is that you have to splash out a lot more on the graphics card than you used to if you want the power. It really does come down to budget, if you want a cheap system that will play games decently buy a console. Want keyboard & mouse or a controller, ability to run basically almost any application, or game at higher resolution, detail settings & frame rates? Buy PC.
It's a small box with fairly low end hardware really. There's nothing special about this except for maybe the form factor and if you like Steam OS.
This won't sway any PC gamer as they likely already have a much more capable system. The CPU in this is the only capable thing in it, the rest of it is passable.. Just.
