a PS5 is a much better choice these days.

if you upgrade your PC to "PS5 level of graphic detail" your whole library of games (starting from the original Doom/Quake in ray tracing, upscaled texture pack etc.) get upgraded.

If you buy a PS5... then only the games you buy specifically for the PS5 will run at PS5 graphics.

To this add that, on PC, you can buy second hand GPU that matches PS5 fidelity (both Nvidia or AMD)

The point is that even a second hand high-end card will cost as much as a PS5. For a single component.

PC gaming has grown a lot, but its peak was the PS3/PS4 era when it could be noticably superior to average people. I'd say it's going back to being a platform for entheusiasts who care about those things you mentioned, which most people don't. At least, not enough to spend twice as much or more for a console equivilent.
