Yes, but if you don’t have a PC, or one even remotely good enough, that cost is all up front.
Either way, you end up spending more on PC hardware than console hardware. For the price and for a person that isnt an enthusiast, they really don’t have a need to go to PC, when console does everything they want.
Don’t forget that games are significantly cheaper on PC, especially if you wait for the first sale (which’ll come much quicker on PC). The upfront cost is indeed higher, but depending on how many games you buy you’ll probably recoup that cost within one console generation.
I mean, technically every game can be free on PC. But overall anyone that has a gaming PC and a console will definitely be spending more on the PC, unless they are given PC parta for free or something.
No one is arguing that PCs cost less than consoles. The original point made was that consoles were cheaper than graphics cards alone, which isn’t exactly accurate
