One thing I don't see in this thread is .. "Do people who game on consoles own a desktop PC at home? Do they work from home?" I ask this because I've been WFH for a long time (hopefully so are you?), even before the pandemic, but on GitHub for OSS stuff for myself, and for work itself. My PC has been much more than just my gaming workhorse. For better or probably worse, I spend most of my life on my PC one way or another, working+/coding, or gaming.
Where I'm going with this: Do people with consoles on this thread, vehemently stating that its a better value, still buy desktop PC's for productivity? If so, you can kiss your "good deal on a console" goodbye. I'd not be surprised if the console players here spend 500$ every few years for a piece of junk laptop/PC and don't associate that loss of money with what could've been a consolidated gaming rig. In my case, I know many people who fall into this category. The way I look at my computer is that every single part of it is for 'work' except my GPU; that is just luxury, but obviously not everyone is a coder.
