Have both. It is better to have more options. There is no rule to say limit yourself to one console.

Ps 4 was very good. I just could not put up with the fan noise. I still have my ps4 account. With my digital purchase just sitting in limbo.

If you get a ps5, you will be covered for the years to come. Remember, Sony is still making the PS4.

A lot of people will say some things are not worth it, but then you need to look at retro games. Folks are still playing the master system and the Nes to this day. Consoles do not truly age. People are still playing the Atari 2600, Amiga, lol.

Go for it. Enjoy having fun.

Yeah, all of those are available on PC! Last of Us Part 1 is releasing on Steam in March this year, however.

I can totally get that, I work from home too and having a play space be your work space is weird. Is it a laptop perchance? Could always hook it up the the TV.

Whatever kind of solution, whether a game streaming app linked to your PC, long wire, etc., there's Steam's "Big Picture Mode", which is great. More console-like experience that you can switch on as the default way Steam launches when Windows starts. Can control it by controller easily.

As for ways to control the PC comfortably from the couch, I personally have a media PC in my living room that I built a few months back and I love it. Just have this thing in particular: https://a.co/d/4rX5caC (Amazon link) - My partner was slightly against me building a PC for the living room at first, but now she uses it more than her own PC because of the ease of use from the couch. lol

Not trying to harp on it too hard here, just saying that this solution could be the best of both worlds in some ways.

Even though I asked myself the same question some months ago, right now I don't consider it worth. In any case, I would consider pick a PS5 or even a PS4 to play those exclusives you would like to play.

Then, you decide if it is worth for you to stock with both consoles or sell one of them.

If you asked myself, I would stick with Xbox until Starfield, Redfall and Forza come this year. If these games do not appeal to you, then I would consider the switch.

I want to play GOW, Last of us, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider man and a few more. I have a PC, but I don’t use it very often since I enjoy more playing on a TV from a couch. Also I’m mostly sitting in a office chair in work so PC gives me kinda bad vibes.
