At least in the EU PC market you won’t find anything new near that price range. 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB SSD and an Arc B580 alone cost 900€, which is a bit more 1000 dollars. With CPU (7500f; AM5), mainboard, cooler, case and power supply, you’d end up at 1300€, which is 1500 dollars. You could save money by buying into AM4 since DDR4 is 200€ cheaper than DDR5, but do you really want to buy into an old platform?

I have a PS5 myself and to be honest, I’d like a PC. I haven’t even played on the PS5 since a month or so because I don’t have any games which I really want to play on there. I don’t like the closed ecosystem, that’s why I also despise the Apple ecosystem I was forced into. My laptop fortunately can handle emulation pretty good (even some Switch games), but it’s still an iGPU (Arc 130t; there are iGPUs like the 8060s that have good performance, but those are also rather for Mini PCs).

I also think that it’s hard for people to let go of their stuff. PS5 users probably rather pay 80-130€ a year for PS Plus than buying a PC because it makes the PS5 obsolete, mainly because of the closed ecosystem.

If you actually give a shit, delete your sony account and move to pc.

There’s a reason why Sony announced their digital-only platform around this time. People who bought a PS5 want to play games while not spending the money you’d need for a PC. Now with RAM, graphics cards and storage prices going to the clouds, even less people are able to build/buy a PC. Even if the PS6 costs 799€ (or something around that price range), it will be way cheaper than buying/building a PC, especially since the crisis won’t stop in the near future.
