can I get some second opinions? I initially thought I wouldn't be interested in the PlayStation 5 and would instead invest in a PC, but now I'm tossing up.
one one hand, I've got a history with PlayStation: I have a PS4, a ton of (hopefully) backwards compatible games, my account etc.. the PS5 looks good, but for my current "setup", I'd probably also have to invest in a new monitor/TV, as I doubt my old TV that I've used for my PS4 will be able to keep up. there's also the issue of availability and whether I can actually get a console. this is likely the cheaper option, because I won't be scammed into buying resales.
I'd also need a monitor for PC. specs shouldn't be a problem... right? I'm not very knowledgeable on how PC compares to the incoming gen of consoles, but I'm taking time to do my research. tbh, I'm not very knowledgeable on PCs in general, which is a big downside. although, having a PC would bode well for my day-to-day life much more than a dedicated console. as of the moment I have a laptop but it's not something I want to rely on forever. regarding the cost, PCs are another level to the PS5, from what I know.
of course, primary interest here is gaming. neither option satisfies everything, and I haven't really mentioned every detail for concision's sake, but I'm looking to get as much quality as I can. idk if matching the PS5 specs via PC is a reasonable goal: like I said, I'm a noob at PC stuff, which I understand isn't ideal. if someone does take the time out of their day to help me out, just know I can afford both but within reason; I'll let you know if I can't.
