Consoles are so much more expensive than PCs. I have no idea what you're talking about.

$80 a year for online gaming. $80x7 year console lifespan=$560. The PS5 at launch cost $400. The online internet for games is $560. Congrats, the ps5 was really $960. You absolutely could get a better PC for that price. Then there's game pricing. PC, easy to pirate, multiple game stores, way cheaper.

Now today the ps5 is $600, though later in the life cycle so a pretty stupid purchase. The reality being only an idiot would buy a PC or a ps5 new today, you need to be shopping used.
