It might be better to just get a PS5 Pro in my case.

I am not even joking, that’s where I am right now with gaming in 2026.

Your thoughts?

    I grabbed a 16GB VRAM edition 4060Ti and 48 GB of RAM back in 2024 right before prices exploded and it was one of my best decisions. I have a PS5 but it’s just collecting dust because I’d much rather be able to do everything in one place, not to mention the majority I’m interested in playing are either indie of strategy type games that aren’t on the PS5 anyway. But yeah the current situation sucks, it’s clear big companies are planning to choke people out of PC ownership so they can eventually force people into cloud based computing where they can charge ridiculous subscription fees and leave people completely powerless.

    It’s the exact same as what has been happening in the housing market where real estate companies have been buying up homes on mass and forcing people into rentership. Consoles are also being negatively effected because they use same RAM and GPUs that are are being strangled.

      Very interesting. I might have to reconsider getting a PS6, on that note.
