Consoles are cheaper in every way.
Depends if you do your research and look for the right deals both used and new you could get an decent pc built with around the same performance as current gen consoles for less than used current gen xbox series x also you don't have to pay up the ass for online subscriptions fees generally it's upto you and your personal preferences though some people prefer consoles and some people people prefer pcs
Generally though in my experience computers are always cheaper in the long term and get better support as well not having to pay for online and having storefronts such as gog and epic games which give out free games makes pcs a hell of alot worth it to me
Computers aren't cheaper though. Hell, you can barely even get a decent GPU for the price of an entire console.
But I don't need to buy an entire pc "every generation" I can just buy a new GPU, and a low tier XX60 series or equivalent is always going to be faster than a console.
Except the year the new console is released since they're being sold at a loss, assuming they'll make up the difference in game sales.
Yep exactly this I'm using an i7 3770 and 10gb ddr3 In my own rig I intend on buying a rx 560 for it as an upgrade for my current gpu
