Absolute rubbish.

To compete does not mean "can beat all PCs regardless of price".  To compete means to provide competitive value for some % of the market.

PS4 Pro clearly is competitive as you can not build a PC comparable to PS4 for $399.  Also PS4 Pro's GPU is more powerful than about 90% of GPUs on steam.  It is not only on par with average PC graphics, but beats the average PC by a lot.

To be fair you are also ignoring the inherent price advantages of the PC in multiple aspects over the console platforms.

If you want to make the comparison, try to make a thorough one.

I am, true.  It's not black and white, nor did I say so.  I did say "competitive value for some % of the market", not "all".

For the all-in-one package and everything you can do with a PC, the PC is miles better value.  However laptop shipments have long surpassed desktop PC shipments.  If you own a laptop then most non-gaming needs are met, and for most it means no GPU upgradability.  That diminishes price advantages that getting another PC might have.
