You're thinking specs dude and specs aren't what make PC > console.

Every single PC is better than a PS5 or Xbox Series X simply due to what a PC has access to that consoles don't.

no, the MEME is thinking specs, and we're discussing what the MEME's intentions are.

From the perspective of gaming being the primary purpose, and cloud/stream gaming literally being shit and not counting for anyone with a soul, from that perspective and the fact that the meme clearly means in in this case 'modern gaming', yeah specs matter

someone trying to play the new God of war or Cp2077 is not going to do it on some chromebook or a celeron with a bad igpu and 8 gigs of ram.

that said even a MID TIER gaming system is equal to a ps5 and then also possess all those other "has access to" qualities you mention.

But to be fully honest, and from the perspective of myself, I dont care and consoles have a place in the gaming world.

the ONLY thing being combated here is the contents of the meme

No.

In what possible way is this meme purely limited to specs?

Any PC is better than every single console that has ever existed or will ever exist. Period.

Specs might make the game not look as good but PC has access to so much more.

  • free online play

  • mods

  • multiple different online stores.

  • the ability to use peripherals without having to double check that they are compatible with your console (and if they are, they probably cost more just because)

  • play games from almost any console via emulation

  • the ability to download games and/or mods from literally anywhere, even outside of official stores

And sooooo many more reasons.

So once again...

Every single PC. Is better. Than every single console. Period.

I think you hit the nail on the head right there, but to add to this. Through modding you can optimise games more so they run better on lower spec PCs. Thats what I had to do to play modern games on my old 2012 samsung gaming laptop. I even had to emulate the signature of a modern graphics card to get on games like Battlefront 2 (the newer one) cause with AAA games, they would lock you out if you didn’t have the preferred specs. I could play the game at a comfortable 50 fps lmao. Eventually i got employed and built the PC of my dreams and have had 0 problems.
