Just don't buy that expensive crap. If people where better at math they would buy PCs instead and we wouldn't have any exclusives.
I'm finding it hard to believe that you can get PS5-tier graphics and performance from a $450 PC...do you have a build you can recommend?
You can't, but getting in an argument with the master race nuts is a fool's errand.
You can use a PC for other things, I'd need a full desktop PC anyways. Also games are generally cheaper and you don't have to pay for online play. Once you bought a game, you can very likely still play it in 10 years on a totally different machine.
That being said, there are plenty of situations where a console is the better choice: they're cheap to buy, easy to use, generally have less software problems, they have cool suspension features etc.
