Windows Central pleads with people to stop buying Playstations

Don't buy a PlayStation — Save money on the PC versions of Marvel's Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, and others instead

If you have a gaming PC, you're already set for some PlayStation titles.

Why grab PlayStation games on PC?

It used to be that if you wanted to enjoy a PlayStation exclusive game, you needed to buy the latest console. That's not the case anymore, with a growing list of PlayStation Studios games on Windows PC that keeps on getting bigger. PlayStation has even invested to make these ports better, acquiring Dutch studio Nixxes to deliver masterclass PC ports.

Single-player PlayStation will usually not arrive day one on PC, so there is a downside to waiting. Naturally, if what you care about is just playing games as fast as possible, then you should definitely go ahead and buy a PlayStation 5. If you already have a gaming PC and you're okay waiting a year or two for games to be ported, you really don't have to buy a PlayStation 5!

That's not to say that every port is perfect. On the contrary, the PC version of The Last of Us was a terrible port at launch, and only through consistent patches has it become somewhat okay. That's the exception though, hardly the rule.

In general, this approach allows you to save money, as you often won't be paying full price for a game, and it will usually include all of the DLC or expansions, as is the case with Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition and Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered.

They also threw shade at the Steam Deck. Maybe because one has Linux and one is Windows. Which is pretty much the TLDR of the whole thing.

Don't buy a Steam Deck, if you want a gaming handheld buy an ROG Ally — here's why

Each gaming handheld has a good focus, but one is better than the others.

I wonder if they will ask people not to buy Xbox’s.

If the PS5 last 8 years and cost $500 that’s $62.50 a year average cost. The argument is save money? What real buying power does that get? If you living that tight you got bigger issues to worry about than buying video games.
