Despite owning one of the most powerful rigs in the world, the inherent issues surrounding PC gaming is making me hungry for the PS5 Pro.

I used to be a PC gamer. I sold my self built gaming rig over a decade ago, switched to console and never looked back. Mostly for the reasons you mentioned (time savings being the highest on the list), but also for cost.
You can get reasonably good performance with an affordable box that sits in your living room and play on your couch on a pretty big screen.
The PS5 pro is pushing the "affordable" part of that equation, but I'll probably get a discounted one soon after launch and sell my PS5 to offset the cost.
The freedom of PC gaming can't be matched by consoles, but the trade-offs aren't worth it for me personally.

I will buy into the PlayStation ecosystem just as soon as I can play my 1500 owned Steam games on there.

I usually go through a cycle where I end up buying one of these consoles, only to find myself being disappointed by screen tearing, frame drops and inconsistent performance. When the PS5 came out, I bought it thanks to guys like this saying 'ditch PC, get on board with console'. I tried it before with PS4, PS4 Pro, but the thing is I always end up going back to PC. I have a top end system with a RTX 4090 and am looking forward to the RTX 5090. This is perhaps the first time I am not giving in to all this nonsense about the PS5 Pro. Maybe PS6 but it doesn't really feel worth it to me. I will stick with my PC and wait for Sony releases to drop on PC. I can wait, I have thousands of games across Steam, Epic etc.

I’m a long time Nintendo and PS console user for over 25 years. I was ready to get a pS5 but stopped simply because of storage issues. Even the 4tb SSD upgrade is not enough to make it worth it for me. I refuse to constantly uninstall games to play the ones I want. Technology is great but when you have to spend all your time jumping through hoops it becomes a waste of time.
