    A Ryzen 5600 is less than that and already beats the CPU in the PS5/X1X, especially in gaming.

    The “mid-to-low range PC” already beats both consoles and when you consider that games are generally cheaper on PC and you don’t have to subscribe to a service just to play online, you’re quickly arriving at a point where PC gaming is cheaper while offering superior performance.

      But not for the money. The console manufacturers sell their systems at a loss, which is something PC part manufacturers can’t do.

        This is entirely true, and you don’t deserve the down votes from people who refuse to face it.

        Building an equivalent system to a console, without a whole lot of luck being involved as far as finding deals goes, is likely to cost nearly double. This is speaking from experience, my current mid-tier PC, which almost performs as well as a current Gen console, cost about $400, and without, as said above, the ludicrous luck I had finding some deals, would’ve cost about $600, as the GPU alone, one that isn’t actually very good at all, retails for over $300.
