    Consoles are by far the best bang for your buck right now in terms of performance vs cost. A decent GPU alone today costs as much as a PS5/Series X. Unless you need a powerful desktop for other purposes, it’s cheaper to buy a console and a decent laptop separately than it is to build a gaming PC.

      Short term, sure. But got 12 years of decent gaming out of my last PC that I just replaced in January. I don’t know any consoles that continue to have releases over that sort of timeframe.

      Idk about that, if you’re aiming for performance similar to what consoles get you can build a PC for pretty cheap
