    There are cheaper and decently powerful mini PCs for about the same cost as a console, probably even a bit cheaper than a game console if you get a deal.

      As much as I love my PC, playing on my GFs PS5 really sold me that a cheap PC just cannot compare, especially if more than one person will be using it.

      Hand over $1500 and you’ll have a better set up with a PS5, a good TV, and multiple games, I just can’t tell someone it’s better.

      A gaming PC is a “get what you pay for” experience, especially as AAA games become less optimized.

        That’s true, though the little Ryzen mini PCs do seem to get good power out of them while being within the same price range as a console, obviously more powerful ones can run much more demanding games better but it’s still quite good for the price.
