    I’m just happy I can watch my porn on 4k on the second screen with music, while still playing on ultra in my games. Makes me feel like I am at a bar.

    What if my $300 PC is better than your $400 console?

    What if it had more utilities than just gaming and streaming?

      What if my $1500 PC built 5 years ago has been more capable than multiple generations of consoles that have been released since? My brother has bought like 3 XBoxes in the same amount of time and my PC still outpaces it by a pretty wide margin.

        multiple generations of consoles

        There has only been one generation of consoles released since.

        The Switch successor might count as another generation if that comes out this year, though, and it would also be a sad state of affairs if your PC wasn’t more powerful than mobile hardware so that’s basically a given, I’ll give you that.

    Lowest price I can find for a PS5 is $500

    That’s less than I’ve put into my PC since the PS4

    Edit: Just realized that the CPU I recently upgraded from predates the PS4.

    Pc gamers when their 350$ handheld laptop has a bigger library, more backwards compatibility, and cross platform access without any monthly subscriptions.

      I can pirate very easily too - probably saved me about $3k in game costs alone while still having a way larger legit library than 99% of Consol owners

        Don’t forget console commands to work around a bug in a quest. Or summon items. Or respawn accidentally killed NPCs.

    Ah, this again. Maybe we can start accepting other people’s use cases? (This goes both ways btw)

    PC is cheaper in the long run.

    You don’t need new controllers or any proprietary accessories when switching console and you can buy games on steam sales (which can be insanely cheaper).

    You can also update your pc if you want it to last a bit longer.

    I think consoles made more sense back then. If you like your console that’s fine, but I’m pretty sure pc is much cheaper and last longer when you consider all those factors.

    I know it’s a meme, but you don’t need $3K for decent gaming PC unless you want overkill performance. If you get components on sale, you can build something pretty good for $600 to $700 (excluding monitor, mouse and keyboard). You just be patient and fool around on pcpartpicker.

      You aren’t getting a “pretty good” gaming PC for $600-$700, be serious now. That doesn’t invalidate most of your other points, but your exaggerations weaken your message.
