I already have a steam deck. But, I am thinking of getting a PS5 for the games that can’t run on the deck or would be better played on a console. Is this a silly idea? Redundant? I would have a steam deck and a pS5.

I would need to get a tv/monitor to go with the console.

I’m not in a position to get a PC or build one, hence, the steam deck.

I was merely responding to the accusation that I was making a disingenuous argument by including the price of a TV in my cost estimation by pointing out that OP straight up said they would have to buy a TV to use a console.

I don't think I ever stated that everyone has to have the latest tech, and I don't think my argument relies on such a premise to be persuasive.

If you had taken the money you spent on a PS4 and bought a budget gaming PC, then took the money you spent on the deck to buy a new graphics card for that same PC, you'd have a system more powerful than the PS4 (or PS5) or the deck for the same cost.
