Yep, not sure how people in this subreddit can confidently recommend things like the switch when the deck is just so much better for way cheaper

If your OK with emulation (really good emulation) I highly recommend the steam deck, can pretty much play any console before the ps3 and 360, can play some ps3 and 360 games, can even run many switch games too, can emulate wii U also I'm pretty sure, also runs modern games like elden ring at higher framerates than ps4, Spiderman, god of war, uncharted all on steam deck, did I mention you hold it in your hands and can take it anywhere you want just like a switch?

Appreciate the support

PC

Glad to see another one of us in these comments keep fighting brother

Yeah I've been getting down voted on this subreddit for recommending PC, but when someone says "I have a PS5 and I want to switch to xbox series x" what else am I supposed to say? I switched to PC in late 2019 and its just crazy that people don't want to switch, PC already has more features and games than the ps6 or next gen xbox are gonna have, it's a no brainer, it's also crazy cheap if you research, for some reason console players think PC costs 1500+ and that just isn't the case, you can build a preowned PC that has a rx 580 8gb for less than 500 or you could buy the ultimate rig for 2000, its all upto the user and that's your choice, on console you don't really have those kind of choices

Yeah I have a pretty similar rig, 6700xt and ryzen 7 3700, in my case I actually bought a steam deck to replace my switch (and Holy crap it's so much better) and I just believe getting a PS5 wouldn't be worth it, there's only like 3 or 4 exclusives right now on PS5 that are really worth it, god of war 5, returnal I think, and horizon 2, I think if you spent the money for a PS5 you just wouldn't use it that much, on PC you can already play every god of war before 5, horizon 1, spiderman 1 and miles moralis, all uncharted games, you can also use a dualsense on PC and get the haptics and trigger effects, regarding the switch I would personally sell and buy a steam deck but that's just me you'd have to research more if you'd want to do that, I wouldn't say the OLED model is worth the upgrade to be honest

My answer would be preowned vive if you got the room but if not a oculus quest connect to a PC is amazing

PC for sure

Switch to PC

Switch to PC instead

I've already addressed the points in your comment worth addressing, I'm getting down voted because I'm in a console subreddit.

Less money is cheaper

PC is much, much cheaper than a console is, denying that is denying reality, games are cheaper, you don't pay for online, you choose what price of PC you want, you can't choose on a console

Cost of living in the world is going up, I'm always going to recommend the cheaper and better option

Sure you need to spend a little more but everything else is much cheaper and PC also offers much more, cheaper games, cheaper peripherals, multi monitor support, modding, more store fronts, no need to pay for online, xbox game pass is on PC, better and more engaging voice chat and messaging software, free cloud save backups, more games, support for older games, variety of peripherals like choosing what brand or device you want to use, VR support, desktop work apps like Adobe and Microsoft Office, advanced video capture and editing tools, intercompaibilty between generational hardware, cheaper to upgrade when needed, sony exclusives are now arriving on PC, emulation, modding emulators and the possibility of playing older consoles with any controller or device you want, emulation multiplayer, you actually keep your games every generation, large variety of game streaming apps/support, more advanced audio capability, generous refund policy on alot of marketplaces, better LAN support, and overall a PC can be used not just for gaming and doesn't just become E-waste after 7 years, you can buy a premade PC at any price bracket, you can build your own PC at any price bracket, you can build your own PC using preowned parts at any price bracket you can choose exactly what performance you want in your system, all these options just make the 200-300 dollar starting price way better than anything modern consoles even offer, right now you can get a steam deck for 399 dollars which you can take on the go with you and can play modern title including spiderman miles moralis and Call of duty modern warfare 2.

Edit: and that's not even taking into consideration that the initial price premium is negated by the cheaper games and not needing to pay for online in the long run, I myself have spend loads on my PC because I use it as a hobby and part of my IT studies, my other friend got a brand new custom rig tailored to his needs water cooling and all, another friend has got PC this year and is running a modest under £700 system that can run any game he wants and my other friend has a 2014 $80 PC that has no graphics card yet can run some more simple fun to play RTS and older FPS games, we're all at different price points and we choose how we want to play

Is this for souvenir reasons or do you just want to play the games, have you considered emulation?

Not everyone knows of the advantages, I'm here to tell them

I'm always going to recommend the cheaper, more games, more options system, after going to PC I guide everyone to the light

Probably a PC

For real tho, don't buy another console, they're not really different

You don't switch to another console, you switch to PC, don't waste your money going from a limiting system to another limiting system, free yourself, I will personally guide you through the process if that's what it takes

I personally think the issue is that for some reason gamers think the ps5 and series X being able to push high fidelity and high resolution somehow makes games better, We need games to have better gameplay and better story's and such, using the series x to play a game at 4k120 doesn't really matter when the game is riddled with microtransactions, boring story, boring generic gameplay, cliche battle pass and same old level up system.
