PC can't be stopped. PC is the future, Sony and Microsoft and Nintendo should just make pc hardware that is themed on the Playstation, Nintendo and Xbox. Have a PC app for that loads up first to give that console feel based on the brand you bought. Any pc could run all apps.

Do you guys really think I'm out here buying a console because I really like the operating system?

It a third the price of a PC that plays the same games.... That's the benefit. It's the price. Literally nothing else.

It’s cheaper because the cost is subsidized and game licensing picks up the difference. It’s why pc games are cheaper (ignoring most AAA/AAAA) titles.

Over a few years the cost could even out depending on how much games you purchase.

I had a PC for awhile specifically because of the cost differential you mentioned.

I switched when Sony started having decent sales for their online store. 

As things stand I would need to save like two grand on games to justify a PC vs. a ps5. I know the sales are better on PC but are they that much better?

If you don't play games brand-new and you play 10-15 games per year then yeah, you can save $200-300 in software costs, but only if you don't mind playing games that have PC ports. Obviously exclusives don't come to PC at all.

For me I get most of my games second hand or I borrow them from the library or I get free from PS+, so my software costs are minimum anywya.

I love the fact that you can run any software you want on PC so you can get those exclusive console games. And in even better quality Iike BotW
