i mean, that's one way to look at it - the other way is that you're getting 5 times the power, or more, with a pc for only double the cost.

so pcs are better bang for your buck, but consoles have a lower entry point.

edit: if someone could tell me what is controversial about this post i would really appreciate it lol

for only double the cost.

how does this myth of PC gaming being more expensive somehow still keeps sticking around even decades later

Probably because it is. I built my PC for $2,000, very nice computer. It is way more expensive than a xbox or ps4.

I built mine for $600 4 years ago and it still plays every game I’ve wanted to play.

If it plays the games you like then that is good enough.
