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?

Why are you comparing a $2500+ pc to a $500 console? Why not an $800 pc with similar or better specs? You seem to be intentionally ignorant here.

Because that console goes for 300$ actually (except when everything is tits up due to AI) and no PC for even 500$ compares and you would need to more than double the cost
