    A single PC part (the most important one for gaming) can cost double what an entire console costs.

    You can buy an extremely cheap Optiplex+cheap GPU on eBay and have a machine with more horsepower and AAA gaming capabilities than Xbox Y series and Playstation 6.

    PCs are useful for more than games but is it worth it at that much of a price difference?

    If you buy a PC with GPU capabilities equiparable to PS5… you can always and for all videogames in your library to run to such level of power. This also appy to emulators.

    With a PS5 you can have PS5 only if you keep buying new PS5 game = +70$ for each new videogame.

    If you come selling from Xbox to buy into Playstation… it’s even worse: you basically lose your whole library.

    With PCs you get even more game than any latest console can.
