That’s not true at all. Have you had your head in the sand since the steam machines reveal? A machine that matches the steam machine is about $1000-$1100. That is less powerful than the regular PS5.

To make a PC as powerful as the PS5 Pro will cost a lot more.

Care to show me this ps5 pro beating pc for $1000?

It sure is. I think your problem is you don’t know much a gaming PC costs, or much at all about hardware, so your only frame of reference is the Steam Machine, which is a small form factor pre-built machine with notoriously poor value for the money.

Here you go.

This dynamically changes with price, so for posterity this listing is $1,062

Literally the only thing the PS5 Pro beats out in this build is that it has DDR5 instead of DDR4 RAM, but even that in no way makes up for its shortcomings in other areas. The PS5 Pro’s GPU is close but doesn’t quite match the performance of the 9060 xt, and the PS5 Pro’s CPU is absolutely gimped next to the 5600x due its remarkably small cache and power limitations.
