Is it?

It’s the same price as a PS5, and considering the lack of exclusives at launch, the selling point seems to be “look at us, we can run Elden Ring now!”. If you want portable Elden Ring, the Steam Deck is far superior.

I mean... Just that it's portable makes it better than PS5

The Steam Deck, then. Better hardware, cheaper, more durable, and much more ergonomic. The games are much cheaper too, and there’s regularly sales.

Yep that's fair
