Is that a double dual shock or are you just being redundant?

I always been a console.player. The great majority of what I played up to the PS4 was at 30 fps. But sometimes, some games would run at 60 and I didnt even know why It felt so good to watch and play. The difference is inmmense, well worth it sacrificing quality.

Now that I have a PC, I simple rather escalate resolution or turn down effects than reducing fps.

None of what you said had any significant impact in price for consoles vs PC.

The fact is that the initial cost or a pc of similar specs as a ps5 / xbox series x is hugely different. You pay half the cost of a PC and even with a subscription, you get 24 (or more) games a year. For the following 5 years, the moment you already spent nearly 1000 dls in PLUS f.e. you have now more than 120 games. So there is little logic in saying consoles are expensive.

If you compare AAA games, these are indeed 10 dollars higher. Which in the long run is not that much, since most lower their price in a few months. Unless you usually buy games on Day 1.

As I mentioned, cost is not one of the pros of a PC. Especially now in which a mid range gpu cost as much as a new gen console.

Yes. We agree.

Technically you could hunt down components, have really good luck and with some effort you could save a couple hundred to match a console.

But in normal circumstances, a more "default" price would be near 1000. Take into consideration you must know what you are buying, do research, compare benchmarks, check compatibility, know what are you going to use your rig for, etc. With consoles you just buy it.

Surely next year will be even cheaper to build a rig like-new gen.

The point was, with 200 dls you could have bought a ps4, and have access to games like God of War and Uncharted, including all the games you listed except the pc exclusives.

In counterpart, you could have bought a Xbox Series S with 300 and have even more games with a HUGE difference in power and performance.

Yes, you got a cheap rig, but the point was to equal the power in cost-effective way to consoles. Which you did not achieve.

On black Friday then you could buy a console for 250 dls. I fail to see your point, is still 500dls cheaper. And I am not sure a RX 6700XT can manage 4k at 60 fps

Sorry to dissapoint you, but no.

Your rant sounds more emotionally charged with opinions rather than facts.

80dls a year is cheap. Amd you get around 30+ games with that. A new consoles costs 500 dls.

A gaming PC costs 1000dls, just to barely mimic a ps5 in power (4k-60fps). Buying a new gpu for instance will double that cost easily.

Games in the Playstation store go on sale very often. X-box has Gamepass.

Both have different pros and cons, but cost is definetely out of the question. PC are definitely more expensive.

This,

and also console architecture is fully dedicated and optimized for games. So not only games are optimized, but also the hardware.
