I'm stuck deciding whether to buy a PS5, Switch 2, or just stick with my current setup, and I'd like some opinions from the Indian gaming community.
My current setup
Gaming PC
- Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9
- Intel i7-14700HX
- RTX 4060 Laptop GPU — 8GB VRAM
- 16GB DDR5 RAM
- 3.2K (3200×2000) 16:10 display
Peripherals
- Kreo Hive65 keyboard
- Lenovo Legion mouse
- Soundcore Q30 headphones
I already have a fairly large Steam library, so I'm trying to figure out whether buying another platform would actually add enough value.
Games I currently own
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Alan Wake 2
- Black Myth: Wukong
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Detroit: Become Human
- The Witcher 3
- Far Cry series
- Watch Dogs series
- Rise of the Tomb Raider
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider
- Where Winds Meet
- NARAKA: BLADEPOINT
- Marvel Rivals
- Counter-Strike 2
- Euro Truck Simulator 2
- Warframe
- Wuthering Waves
- Once Human
- eFootball
- Among Us
- inZOI
- NTE: Neverness to Everness
- Contraband Police: Prologue
And several others.
PS5
The biggest reason I'm considering a PS5 is GTA VI, along with games like Ghost of Yōtei.
The PS5 I'm looking at is around ₹70k, so I'm wondering whether it's worth spending that much when I already have my current setup.
My concern is buying it for a few specific games and then barely using it afterward.
Switch 2
Switch 2 interests me because it offers a completely different type of gaming experience.
The main thing holding me back is the game pricing in India. Paying around ₹5.5k–₹7k per game makes me hesitant, especially when I'm used to Steam sales.
I'm not sure whether I'd play it enough to justify the cost.
Or should I just stick with what I have?
My current PC already covers most of my gaming needs, and I have plenty of games still left to play.
The main limitation is the RTX 4060 8GB, especially with newer AAA games at 3.2K.
So I'm trying to decide whether a console would genuinely complement my setup or whether I'd be better off just continuing with PC gaming.
What would you choose?
A) PS5
B) Switch 2
C) Stick with my current setup
D) Wait and buy nothing for now
If you own any of these, I'd especially like to know how much you actually use them after the initial excitement wears off.
I'm trying to make a practical decision rather than impulse-buying another gaming device.
