Its understandable,..
The absence of a robust gaming PC is not ideal but a PS5 is still a great gaming platform. It’s worth pointing out that while the used PC part market is a viable option new parts could be quite expensive such as upcoming nVidia video cards and DDR5 RAM.
Point being, building a robust modern gaming PC on the budget of the cost of a PS5 would be fraught with compromise up the wazoo,…..to say nothing of the ying-yang,…..
Compromise isn’t fun, especially in a desktop gaming PC, but sometimes it can be tolerable in something small like a Steam Deck.
Personally I still think Sony missed the mark with the PSVR2. I think it should have brought the trifecta: stand alone untethered VR like the Quest (1, 2 and 3), PS5 VR game support and PCVR game support (Wired and wireless). Had they done that, it might be worth the ~$550 MSRP in my eyes.
The Quest kind of ruined the market with respect to good VR at a cheap price. Meaning if you can get a good VR HMD for ~$300 all-in, why would you pay ~$550 or more? I’m not sure Sony has the answer to that yet.
Now, if they would knock off a couple hundred from the PSVR2 if you trade in your old PSVR,…..yeah, that could work For me. Since they won’t likely do that, I can wait until they are forced to lower their price.
