Comment on Sony misses PS5 sales target as console enters ‘latter stage of its life cycle’

Not at 4K they don’t

Yes, of course the steam deck doesn’t outperform a PlayStation 5. I said the games perform excellently and look great on handheld. They are very well optimized on PC.

But your original question was not if they will play on Steam Deck, but why someone would choose to buy those games on PlayStation instead of PC. Aside from the original reasons I laid out, higher resolution is another good reason why.
As an example of when games ported to PC are not as great as PlayStation games, here’s an excerpt from an article about The Last of Us Part I:

Why are you setting your resolution to 4k for a 1280x800 display?
PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I never said I was. The PS5 runs at that resolution. The question was asked why would anyone buy a PlayStation if the games find their way to PC. I gave reasons why someone might want to buy a game on PlayStation anyway. Higher resolution than the Steam Deck is capable of (handheld or docked) and ray tracing are good reasons why.
