Should a gaming PC cost $2000?

Sure, that's fine. Why is it fine? Because that's just one option. Having different options at different price points is in no way the same as having one option at a high price point.

This. The very reason the price point on the Scorpio and Neo can be that high is because $300~ alternatives that can play the same games are available.
