Yes. But you claimed "about 5 to 6x the purchase price for a PC vs a console". Which isn't double or triple. And neither did I claim that you could build a PC at the same cost, I said 1-1.2k plus a few hundred more. Which is around double.

I don't think you've realistically ever been able to build a matching PC at the same price ever, because they are almost always sold at cost or sometimes at a loss as the manufacturer gets their profit selling games, not the hardware. Same deal why VR hardware from Meta is so much cheaper compared to everyone else - because you need to then buy your games from Meta as well.

As for the Steam value...
