Because to me it is a worthwhile upgrade. If you compare the image quality in FF7 Rebirth specifically in the 60 FPS modes the differences are significant. The new ray tracing features in F1 2024 for the pro also made a big impact on how that game looks.

In general, I don't like gaming at 30 FPS and I've been noticing that developers don't always do a good job with their choices when dialing it back to get 60 FPS. For example, I'm holding off on buying Black Myth Wukong because their performance mode looks flawed right now, and I don't want to play it at 30 either.

Quick question though, why not buy a PC and link it to the tv? The features you're talking about are also on the PC and you're not limited to their proprietary services and file formats.

Not sure why people are beating up on @nxn@biglemmowski.win for saying his opinion. Different people value different things.

I think I can answer your question though. Buying a console is a plug and play experience. Building a PC is not. Not everyone has the time, the patience, or the technical experience required to purchase compatible components, assemble the machine, and install the various software.

Anyone that's ever bought a prepared meal has overpaid in comparison to acquiring the ingredients, prepping them, and cooking the dish. It's worth the price to do so because I sure as hell don't want to spend time making a bowl of French onion soup.

I'm 47. You do know boomers would be adults by the time those sort of games were out, right?
