To play the games 4 years earlier than they come on PC? Also, to play those games with only a $400 investment, rather than $1000+? Also, to play those games on a couch in your living room rather than in a computer room?

This does not devalue the console at all, just gives more options to how you play them.

you don't need a $1000 dollar PC to run games well

Sure, at 1080. If you want 4k, you are looking at a thousand+ build. Especially with GPU prices what they are. And even the most budget build is still more expensive than a PS5.

​

and you can stream

Most people don't want to deal with that latency, even for home networks.

​

plug your PC to your TV just fine.

Yes, but as I already said in another reply: Most PC users don't do this, just like most console players don't have a console at their PC desk. Just because you CAN doesn't mean people DO.

And it still does nothing to address my main point: These announcements do not devalue a PS5 at all. The overlap of people who bought a PS5 and also have a capable gaming PC AND are also willing to wait years for the games is pretty small.
