It's cool that Sony is collaborating with Epic. But let's be honest, UE5 will run and look better on any newer PC than on the PS5.

No. A newer PC says nothing about the PC's performance.
Naturally, the games will look better on a good gaming PC than on the PS5. However, such a PC also costs considerably more.

I paid around €2500 for my PC. Naturally, I expect more from it than from a €500 console. However, the PS5 still offers excellent value for money. These constant comparisons with a gaming PC are pointless; there are many reasons why someone chooses a particular platform besides its technical capabilities.
