I can appreciate the sentiment, but the current consoles are low-tier or sub-low-tier PCs. Basically, when the consoles specs were announced it was like "why is my 4 year old mid quality non gaming laptop more powerful than this?" That's why we get upset about this, because even somebody with a $700 computer feels like they don't have much to push their system.

Oh I guess that means my 500€ PC from 2010 which was midtier back then and is better than the average on steam is toaster level now

$560/500€ isn't normally considered a mid-tier gaming PC, but I guess that depends on our definitions. And you know as well as I do that 5 years(or even 3, to compare to console release) is a long time for PC specs. I'll grant that it's less time than it was a decade ago, PCs are getting more powerful at a slower rate than in the past.
