The technical prowess on the PS5 is fantastic for the price, but so many games aren’t optimized to take advantage of it. There’s no way its hardware can’t hit 120FPS at 1080p (or 1440p for less demanding games) but publishers lock it down or force raytracing and extra “QUALITY” settings that tank the framerate. If you put a similar computer together, you’re absolutely going to get 1080p100+fps in most games.
Edit: also I remember arguing so much with Reddit fanboys who constantly claimed it would have ZERO load times ever because the SSD is better than any computer SSD ever… lul.
That’s definitely a big part of it. If devs had more time they could optimize for it just like any device. But for a late 2020 release it was a little underwhelming
