    The benefit of PS5 Pro is that if you want to play in 4K you would need to spend 3-4x the price of the PS5 Pro to build a capable PC able to match the PS5 Pro in the GPU department.

    An additional benefit is that if you have a disc version of the PS5 you can buy second hand games and play really on the cheap. You can easily resell your games afterwards as well.

    The Deck is great, but it cannot run any 4K game and it is mostly to allow you to play your games on the go or in bed/sofa.

      Forgive me if this comes across bluntly but, having seen roughly no details on price or actual performance of the still unannounced PS5 Pro, are you pulling the 3-4x cost comparison out of the ether?

      If the expectation is that it will increase performance by frame generation, and that’s accepted (e.g. non native resolution performance), then I’d argue you could get away with a very reasonable build and upscale to 4k for a similar imaginary price point - but without any released details (or third party reviews/benchmarks), that’s hard to say seriously.
