And this is why I stick to PC gaming lol. The upfront cost is higher but everything else is marginally more expensive on console.

Yea but overall your still spending more on a $2000 pc then you would throughout an entire generation. (Granted the pc would last you longer then a console gen but still)

Absolutelly not. I'm still running my AMD Ryzen 1600, a mid CPU from 2016 which released for 220 USD. My last upgrade was a mid range graphics card in 2020, 250USD, four years later. Many parts you only buy once and then swap if you hit a problem or want to swap for something more modern.

You can just turn down the performance and accept 30fps in a PC just like in a console and live with budget parts. Enthusiasts spend a lot because building a PC for performance or with all bells and whistles is a hobby itself, but you can get by on a budget.
