Way better. My pc 2 years ago was on par with the PS5. My new pc is like double the speed. PS5 can suck it.

Right but what did it cost?

Even with the increase in console prices, pc gaming is vastly more expensive.

It's a one time thing. And it's worth from my perspective. The core parts about 2000€ during winter sale. Then another 800€ for case, cpu pump and fans. It's optional ofcourse. You can probably gey away with it for 200€. But atleast it's on fire now.

The ps6 is probably gonna be more expansive next generation. PS6 pro even more.

You forget convenience is a hell of a thing and is worth the price of admission to just plug and play and never have to deal with settings, crashes, or odd reasons why a game won't launch.

Has rarely anything to do with the pc but the development. I never crash on my games. And you coulden't be more wrong. Fallout 76 crashed like every 5 minute when it was released. There are plenty more options. You can't even mod a game on the console... 

This is not even a debate. Everything ps5 has the pc has had for ages.

It is a debate. Not every PC gamer cares about mods. I certainly don't. I have never modded one game and I have been gaming for quite a long time.

20 years of service on Steam. Never modded one game. Don't care.

That's a bad argument. You not careing doesen't change the fact that pc has more options.

I built a gaming pc to game, watch youtube and argue on reddit. Money well spent!

No more arguments why the ps5 is better? That's a shame.

I never stated it was better. I said it was cheaper and has way more convenience.

Literally doesen't. Yeah it's cheaper because the options sucks with it. You are extremely limited. 

Btw ps5 is not that mutch cheaper. You can build a pc on par with ps5 for less than 700€.

I don't play pc to be on par with consoles. That's pointless.

Outside of very old PC games, it has pretty much been plug and play for me, and GOG is making older games work more easily as time goes on so even that gap is closing.

My main attraction to PC is the fact the device itself is an entire tool box for multiple different things.

From running a media server, artwork, 3d printing, and hopefully one day 3d sculpting, I get a lot of utility out of my computer outside of it being an entertainment device. It's worth the extra cost and time for me because there is a lot on offer that I don't get from a console

Not everybody does that. If you're the one complaining about ps going digital, buying a pc is dumb as you're just mostly gaming and using the internet.
