  • Really depends on the games you want to play and your expectations of the quality you will be playing them at.

    While the Deck is one of my favourite ways of gaming, I do still play both my PS5 and Xbox quite a bit for the better performance on the big screen in some games. I’m just not really interested in buying/building and administering a PC for my living room TV, which is where I want to play. I want a plug and play system that works well with a controller.
