I had the dilemma of being a hardcore PC gamer for 15 years now but ever since I got my home theater setup I cannot justify using a PC in place of the PS5. The PS5 brings loads of convenience, easy of use and compatibility to my setup. HDR support is hit and miss, you can’t easily wake the PC from sleep with a controller, no HDMI CEC, and the list goes on. The tradeoff of a less performant console outweighs the cons of a PC for my use case.
yeah console is definitely more convenient re pick up and go. But for quality gaming the PC is superior by far. I personally have both a 4080ti and a PS5 and i almost never turn on ps5 anymore, Media is watched via a Firestick Stick in TV…i should probably sell the PS5.
I use my Steam Deck for home theater stuff, I don’t game from my couch much though - super prefer mouse and keyboard. Steam Deck with a gyro-mouse remote and a full keyboard on the back is pretty awesome for browsing YouTube or watching movies

Full keyboard on the back of a deck? I am kinda new to my deck and since getting my home theater stuff setup haven’t touched it much.
No, sorry, full keyboard on the back of the usb remote I use for my Steam Deck - which is docked
