Yikes, that’s not a good price, or look. And with most devs targeting PS4 (or Steam Deck) hardware these days, I’d say the new GPU will go underutilized outside of the AAAA sphere.
At that price point I’d say it’d be better to build a PC than get this thing.
Just wait until we start getting AAAAA games though!
Ooooo, I hope it comes from yet another Ubisoft government subsidy scam

Depends on the game, depends on the power. You can get a decent mid range PC for the price, I’ve seen a 3050 8GB for $275 CAD or $360 CAD for a 3060 12GB, and with a $959.99 CAD Price tag you can easily buy a Case for $60 CAD, 16GB of RAM for $50, $80 for a 550w Power Supply, $85 1TB of RAM, $100 for the Motherboard, and $200 for a Ryzen 7 5700, with $25 to get a cheap keyboard and mouse, or more if you get the 3050.
This is from a quick search, you can probably optimize it more if you go used, use PC Part Picker, or wait for better sales.
Please NOTE: I never claimed that this PC would be better than the PS5 Pro, I said it would be better to build one. Especially since you can upgrade the machine later, and have access to a larger library of games including Sony.
Though if you wanted to cheap out you could get a Steam Deck for much, much less.

Setting up Linux is a pain for most distros from my experience, Steam deck makes things easy in comparison. I personally run Linux Mint as it’s easier to setup and run.
