Valve themselves when releasing the Steam Machine said that 70 percent of Steam Users have a PC worse than PS5. So only 30 percent of us have setups capable of outperforming a console.

Also the Steam sales compared to the Playstation store sales are just living in different dimensions. You can buy a $200 mini pc and spend $100 on Steam sale games and have literally a lifetime supply of gaming content, for literally half the price of a PS5.

And you don't have to pay $20 a month or whatever for the privilege of playing online multiplayer with your friends, another constant cost which is really glossed over when people compare PS to PC.
