    A pro is absolutely not necessary. The current generation will get new releases for years to come, and performance will be fine. You don’t need to upgrade until the next generation comes out, typically in 5-10 years, and then it’s once for that entire generation.

    Even then your current games are usually backwards compatible, or you just have your old console to play those games.

      and performance will be fine.

      If you can’t have 60 FPS at the minimum I’m not interested in your motion blur cancer.

      You don’t need to upgrade until the next generation comes out, typically in 5-10 years, and then it’s once for that entire generation.

      That’s still more expensive than my mid range PC setups and does not include the needed TV & expensive games.

      Even then your current games are usually backwards compatible, or you just have your old console to play those games.

      Or I could just play everything on the same system indefinitely without having to hoard clunky consoles & peripherals.
