A nice console is what? 500? Last year I could have bought all new parts and likely meet the same performance or very close to a console. At $600 I think I easily exceed the performance.
Its a lot harder in 2025-26 because of RAM prices but I am confident you’re wrong on the cost thing.
You win on not having to build it and ease of use.
The idea of paying a subscription for something I already own to have a basic functionality is 100% unworkable for me. The last Xbox I owned was the OG box and I still have a PSX.

Congratulations you fall into category 2
For $200 more you get a weaker gpu that will need to be upgraded which will add $300 to the cost. This post is from 8 months ago.
That’s not spending money right. It’s impossible to build anything competitive with RAM and storage priced the way they are.

It’s purely hypothetical, I built a stupid $2500 PC for playing OSRS because I like spending money on the wrong thing.
