Even the cheapest gaming PC costs double a console, and if you want something good you're looking at 3x-10x the price. Then you have to upgrade every 5 years minimum.
My current gaming PC was built in 2014, it's on its second set of HDD/SSDs, second set of RAM, and 3rd video card. For the same money I spent on it over that time I could have bought 4-5 PS5s. You can't deny consoles provide value for the money. Steamdeck is a viable alt though, and if someone makes 'Steam consoles' it's over for Xbox/Sony.

That's true until you start counting costs like micro transactions, cloud services and games themselves.
PC games have no microtransactions?
With how easy it is to cheat in them? Practically yes.
Take RE4R for example.
On consoles you can pay for exclusive tickets via PSN Store. On PC you laugh your ass off and launch trainer/cheat engine.
What kind of degenerate plays games with a trainer? git gud.
