Methodology
We used an Elgato Game Capture 4K Pro to record all game sessions from both the PC and the PS5 Pro so we could analyze them and judge their quality. This capture card allows for 4K60 recording, so I measured FPS performance in the PC, which can achieve higher than 60FPS, with the CapFrameX Frametimes capture and analysis tool based on Intel’s PresentMon. The PC hosting the capture card is strong, equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor 285K and an NVIDIA 4070 Super GPU.
All PS5 Pro games were set to the highest possible quality, while I also used realistically high settings in the PC games, exploring all AMD extra features (FSR2, FSR3, Frame Generation) to boost performance since the PS5 Pro also has the PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) upscaling technology.
In the videos below, you can find all the settings for the games I used.

Additionally, about this Social Credit System which Microshat has fully established last year, Sony & Nintentdo also already finished halfway:

Orwell’s 1984. Chinese-style Social Credit System.
The publicly given explanations, are the usual bullshat as “for safety”, against “toxicity” bla bla.
The fact that for heavy morally reprehensible actions as cheating, one only gets 1 strike points, but “hatespeech” freaking 4 strikes, alraedy gives away what the actual agendas are:
ESG, CEI, DEI, 1984’s Newspeak, censorship, 24/7 surveillance.
We will silence & censor you, remove you, if you say/do something against our New World Order.
Enjoy the consoles.
Good article.
The article writer mainly focused on the comparison regarding hardware, performance, image quality.
There are obviously dozens of other metrics at play here, which all have far more weight than these metrics. People decide for/against PC/console by those, and thus the buying price itself will be justified (or not).
Here are some other contra against console:
1) It’s a fully closed, walled garden ecosystem. Almost similar to crApple’s ecosystem.
You own nothing here, decide nothing here; you play by the corpos’ (Sony, MS, Nintendo) rules or you are out. Banned.
2) Can’t use the console offline anymore. Mandatory online account registration, or else the console will be a useless piece of shat.
3) Thus since the 2013 console generation all – even disc games – are bound to the consoles hardware ID.
Microsoft i.e. lyingly calls it “Home console” – the user have to create such online account and label his console “Home console”:
As stated it’s a lie. The correct term is DRM.
4) Social Credit System, 1984-style, full censorship, total surveillance and spying on all it’s users, no matter what they do, say, write type with the console or ingame.
Microsoft Xbox already implemtented it last year. Paid and dishonest tech outlets refuse to cover it to this day.
It’s their strike-point system (Social Credit System). You play a game and they monitor whatever you do, say, write etc.
If you did/said something against their TOS, the ongoing ESG, DEI, CEI agendas (which all of them embrace), they will ban you, give you a strike point etc.
Accumulated strike points: They will ban you from all their MS Xbox services. Not only online, but even offline (they save the ban encrypted & unremovable on the device)
In that case the console will be almost useless. You will be able to play offline disc games, that it; not even able to connect online anymore.
5) Games becoming all-digital: Console corpos control all the game digital licence. There is no price competition like seen with PC games and it’s myriad digital front stores and key sellers.
6) Still gave to pay ~ 60 bucks a year to play online. Lol. Shat.
During 6 years that 360 bucks.
There are couple of other big negative points against consoles.
tl;dr the price-performance metric is valid but not even close to being the full truth.
Be smart, play on PC. Throw Mac and consoles in the trash bin where they belong 😉
