    a gaming computer with the same power will run you $3-4k

    Are you sure? A RX 6600 XT is about 200€.

    4000 buck would about twenty RX 6600 XT: with that amount of GPU you play… Blender’s render in realtime.

        Sorry for the confusion, I mean as the value around 2nd hand owner market: which, contrary to console, is always an option for parts for next generation gaming. I know Japan is not that much in 2nd market and buy pre-owned thing: I wonder if PC gaming would encourage them into this option, since it’s so much widely known thing in the PC gaming industry.

        Sorry, but I live in Canada as well and have built several computers myself. These numbers you’re citing are BS.

          I DON’T WANT TO BUILD A COMPUTER.

          No more than I want to build a ps5. We’re talking about a ready to go machine off the shelf.

          Nobody who isn’t a niche PC gamer wants to build a PC. It’s a pain in the ass and I don’t want to hear another comment saying it isn’t cause I don’t wanna hear it. I DON’T WANT TO BUILD A PC

            I don’t know how it works in your market but here, the major hardware retailers will assemble your machine for an extra 80 euros or so.

            'fraid you got no option but take whatever spank Sony had planned for you, then.

            Yeah, Nvidia will certainly shutdown in the coming weeks, sorry to see them go under. But I guess their business is too niche for all the R&D spending clearly beyond the Sony.

            (Put this /s here, just in case)
