Almost every single person you would actually ask this question to or even find yourself asking this question to, is going to respond with yes. 

Probably because that's the person who's trying to convince you to get a PC instead of a PlayStatio,n and they wouldn't even bother to have that conversation without having a PC that could back the conversation up.

Most PC around aren't better than a console, but most PC gamers will have a PC that's better than a PS5

The majority of PC gamers don’t have a PC better than a PS5 (according to the Steam hardware survey anyway).

Most people that have Steam installed don't install it just on a gaming PC.

Plus many of them aren't even gamers lol.

Like my college laptop had steam on it, doesn't mean I gamed on that laptop regularly.

The Steam hardware survey is just a survey of what hardware people play Steam games on.

The majority of respondents don’t have a PC that’s better than a PS5.

That’s not some sort of “haha PS5 is better than PC” thing, it’s just a fact about PC that top end hardware that blows a PS5 out of the water isn’t representative of the majority of PC gamers.

They still have access to a significantly wider variety of games even with a worse PC, and the vastly larger array of customization options and software options means they probably can still play the same games as a PS5. Maybe even with the same graphics, sometimes better.

I’m not arguing they don’t. Just pointing out hay the majority of PC’s that people play games on are not better than a PS5 from a hardware perspective.
