But what is interesting and says a lot about the flattening silicon evolution curve is that your game on your monster PC is not going to look or play 3 to 5 times better than on a PS5 Pro console. There is a huge diminishing return now on high end silicon, and that might have an impact on the life cycle duration of console hardware.

Likewise, there are diminishing returns in how much better PS5 Pro games look than base PS5 games, and that's kind of the problem. Don't compare a PS5 Pro to a top of the line PC; compare it to a similarly priced PC for the same reasons.

If you go over the price of a ps5 pro on a PC, you are likely interested in gaming enough to save the difference by having more than one marketplace, not to mention not be advertised to constantly and have more support for avoiding antifeatures like always online conditions of play.
