I mean, they've been trying it since gen 7, I don't know how it's a major surprise to anyone who has any interest in console gaming

Anywho, as someone who was primarily a console gamer when I was a kid, getting a gaming PC was probably the best gaming investment I've made; the experience is just way better in every way

    I grew up with a PC so it always seemed normal to me, I guess I was lucky that way. I'm honestly surprised that Sony didn't announce this at the launch of the ps5. Console always seemed nerfed to me.

    To be honest, I think they were potentially planning or wanting to only go with the digital-only ps5, but after seeing backlash to the idea they went with both the diskless and disk-drive ps5's to "test the waters" as it were. There's been a few digital only consoles like the psp go, and the diskless xbox one s, but those as far as I remembered underperformed in terms of sales numbers. If the digital-only ps5 sold well enough or if they observed a general trend of people buying digital on the ps5 it could've been the deciding factor that has made them more confident in going forward with it

    I also want to point out: if the main impediment is the ability to play games comfortably with a controller on TV, my wife and I are currently playing Cyberpunl 2077, modded, on a TV, in a different room of the house, using a playstation 5 controller.

    both Steam Link and Apollo/Moonlight (I found Apollo's setup of virtual displays out of the box to bw superior) work very well.

    I have my PC hooked up to the TV via HDMI, and I had no issues gaming on it with my dualshock 4 controller either :3. I've not dabbled too much into casting/streaming video from desktop to TV

    (Plus I found the software for controllers on PC to offer way more capabilities/power than what I could do on the playstation, which is nice as I play all my games on controller even when sitting at my desk)
