I remember playing a lobby of Black Ops Cold War, the fun was dulled on the consoles due to the lag, lower visuals, and the finicky controls/gamepad.
But on the PC, it was basically unplayable... you would get spawn sniped, invisible enemies, knifed through walls, and players that had invincibility on. And a similar thing happened to GTA V, although I distinctly remember and experienced my fare share of shenanigans of GTA V during the PS3 and Xbox 360 era (things were settled on the XB1/PS4 Pro platforms).
I think GTA 6 will follow a similar process.

PS 5 Pro is overpriced crap. The push towards digital future crap. For me no disk, then no consoles, I better go to PC. Diskless consoles are nothing else than overpriced weak PC with shitty subscription services, completely pointless to own.

First Xbox 360 and PS3 (2013), next year (2014), Xbox one and PS4, and then console where done it came out on PC (2015). This time there is no next gen in between, so ps5 and Xbox X 2025, PC 2026 or 2027, depending on how porting will go and sales numbers on consoles. If it will sell like GTA 5 or better they might push PC release to 2027 to keep milking w cow. Once sales start to slow down on consoles boom PC release, milking round 2

Pranav, 10 Nov 2024Apparently it's very vague reason to not sell ps5 pro.... moreYeah but iphone 16pro BIW is unimpressive. Ans seeing that it's backward compatibility is till 13 mini it's difficult to see how it's future proof without AI capabilities, and since it and ipad mini are incapable of Autodesk CAD suit(i.e. 5yrs since lunch), and also struggles for Adobe Suit, it's only the software that is impressive.

Apparently it's very vague reason to not sell ps5 pro. Wifi 7 doesn't mean it won't have backwards compatibility and also iPhone 16 pro has wifi 7 but ita selling in India.

$700 with no disc-drive, stand & an 8 year old zen2 cpu & only cute gpu upgrade which in terms cpu gonna be the bottleneck. I can see games will be barren as too much npc gonna cripple it's performance & no this won't natively play games @ stable native 4k 60fps without fake upscaling specially with raytracing.
Doubt scalpers would even bother scalping this as they would charge close to $1k which certainly most won't bother getting it.

A decent looking graphics with way lesser power draw. You should try to put yourselves in the shoes of console buyers sometimes.
Last time I opened a laptop was for Android adb. It's general purpose has been replaced by a tablet/phone and I can safely say it applies to the general consumer as well.
Desktops can be safely replaced by consoles+laptop(office)+smartphone/tablets. And soon, portable consoles with egpu options for docked mode gaming.

Snapdragon 695 hater, 09 Nov 2024That's sonys fault. Not the fault of consumers.Yeah. But they run the show so they call the shots. Concord was shilled as Sony's Star Wars allgedly but flopped hard. Would've been more painful loss if they didn't snag an exclusivity deal with Hoyoverse's Genshin Impact.

This is probably the last generation to have optional disk drive. PS6 and onwards will be digital only consoles. PS5 Pro will be the last console to support disk drives.
