Yeah the subscription costs alone pay for the difference between the hardware for the PC and the console, they average 6 or 7 years between releases and the subscription cost is 70 a year, so That's $420 over the six year period and when the console is $700 that means your budget for a PC would be 1,100, and that's not including the fact that games very rarely go on sale on Console like they do in PC you don't have the ability to do much gray Market side and you have no control over the system.

Myself for example, I spent between 1,100 and 1,200 on a PC back in 2016 that's almost 10 years ago now I've upgraded my Hardware a few times, each time averaging about $200. But that was because I chose to I only really would need to have upgraded once and it would have been about a $400 upgrade, I'm spending less upgrading my system I would if I bought a console every time it released, and I have the capability of doing whatever the hell I want on my computer and I don't have the financial drain of the subscription
