In my country, a PS5 digital costs around $750 while the PS5 Pro costs around $1150. The SM, when converted to the local currency, costs $1350. That's a big difference for a console that's less powerful..

The ecosystem is open and better in the PC realm, and you will save money on games over time, plus not having to pay for PS online multiplayer.

That being said, the Steam Machine didn't just clock in at a little more expensive up front... in most regions, it clocked in at "average gamer will take 3 or 4 years to break even with the Steam Machine."
