The most widely misinterpreted joke of all time.
The joke is that it was meant as a joke, but it is in fact the truth.
>need to spend $2000 to get PS5 performancethe greatest joke of them all
>>729228012I mean when that meme was created it was accurate. For $400 back in 2014 or 2015 you could have built a better PC than a PS4 for the same price.
>>729228012>PS5 performanceI could get that by picking random parts at a thrift store.
>>729228012>Somehow the bargain bin hardware has a magical advantageA PC built for the price of a PS5 is going to outperform it when you stop ignoring most of the costs associated with a console like online and vendor lock-in.>But muh shortagesShortages are going to affect the next wave of consoles too, the PS5 has already had price increases coupled with spec decreases.

>>7292280122000$ today will get you better performance than whatever the PS6 pro will be in future.
>>729228012Consoles are for faggots, though.
>>729228742kek no. $2000 will get you PS5 Pro performance. take a look at December 2025 prices and stop living in 2024
>this year's proper piss5 exclusives can be counted on one handit's over, snoy better prepare a less disastrous catalog than 2020 for ps6
>muh ps5I heckin' love ball and gun games!
>>729227071Always hilarious to see the redditor excuses>uuuh master race has nothing to do with nazis???Sure sure pal
>>729228012it takes $1000 to get a ps5 pro tier pc with a 9060xtyou sold your freedom for a $200 discount
>>729229106master race shit is as old as ancient greece,just ask plato
>>729228691I mean I have literally a list of Console Killer pc's from 2001-2007 and 2013-2025. Soon I will complete 2008-2012. Here is the 2015 console killer:20152 builds prices taken from december 1st 2015$90 FX 6300 (alt build $150 FX 8350)$30 Asus M5A78L AM3+$30 8gb DDR3 1600mhz$160 Powercolor R9 380 4gb (alt build $110 R7 360 2gb couldn't find one on Newegg but that was 360's MSRP at the time)$45 AMD Radeon R7 120gb SSD$45 WD Blue 1tb HDD$25 Corsair CX500$25 Thermaltake CA-1B1total $450 (alt build $460) success. Much better than the Xbox One Elite 1tb which was $500 but I count as $410 bucks since Xbox One Elite controller was $90 more than standard Xbox one controller. Regular Xbox One 1tb was $400 this time which doesn't have an SSHD so we can remove the SSD boot drive so the PC build would be $405.

>>729228012i like that joke too, especially in the past when prices were cheaper. hardware these days while more expensive are significantly better than 5 years ago. basic budget parts are better than a ps5, but to console players that dont know any better they will see that joke and think the cost of entry is $2000 and walk away upset that they were priced out of PC gaming. putting themselves in a walled garden where they have no control over how they experience games, no modding, hardware freedom, and terrible game sales.
>>729229263Here is the 2003 one against the OG Xbox. Not a single year did the PC beat the OG Xbox in terms of value. Only year PC got close was 2003:2003$39 AMD Duron 1.4ghz$29 PC Chips M811LU MB Socket A (includes VIA onboard 10/100mbps LAN)$68 Apollo ATI Radeon 9600SE 128mb$29 Buffalo 128mb DDR1 333mhz$52 WD 40gb 5400rpm HDD$4 Cooler Master DP5-6I11A Heatsink and fan$19 Aspire ATX918 plus 250W PSU$29 Benq 16X DVD Rom drivetotal $269 failure. 20% more expensive compared to $180 xbox plus $30 DVD remote. However basically same price if you subscribed for 1 year of Xbox Live so can be somewhat of a success.
>>729228012>ps5 performanceWhat do you need it for if there are no games?
>>729229103What PC exclusives from this year have you played?
>>729229548>exclusivesgood goy
>>729228012I'd rather have a PS1 level performance PC than a console. Consoles can't do 1% of what PCs are capable of. Can consoles even back up your saves / config to your own server??
ps6 will be more expensive than the ps5 pro while being at best on par with 9070xt and 7800x3dand you'll own nothing because digital only
>>729228691Sure enough, the faggot is already seething.
>>729229548Tempest risingUniverseDeadlockProbably more let me reach my home pcWhat about you anon?
>>729227071It's called taking the piss. It's an art, just like banter. Clearly there are many who have not mastered the concept.
>>729228012shut up peasant, go be poor somewhere else
>>729227071well chuds do have a habit of looking at stuff that's supposed to be making fun of them and going "heh, based"
>>729229103>piss5 exclusivesRetard, ps5 users would only care if a game is exclusive to OTHER platforms. Why would they care if a game they're going to play on ps5 is also available on another platform? The console wars are over, pops.
