Probably for the same reasons MS no longer talks about liftime sales of XB1. :P

Actually the exact opposite. Because a powerful GPU has lots more to offer than an Xbox. No matter what the price.

MS no longer talks about lifetime XB1 sales because they lost. The opposite of that is winning, so I guess a brand new computer build must win in the price to performance race then right?

Look man, I love my PC. Both Series X and PS5 look underwhelming. Series X will have few games just like XB1. PS5 lacks proper backwards compatibility, is a bit weaker than I expected, and will likely hand all its exclusives over to PC. I probably won't even get a PS5 until 2022 or later. If I get one at all.

But a console beats a PC in price to performance by 3:1. Even if you were to factor in all the extra things a PC can do, it still winds up lacking dollar for dollar compared to a regular console. It's a premium product for people that don't care about money. If there were such a thing as a $700 PlayStation, with graphics power to match, and full backwards compatibility PC would be some extremely niche market. Like Kosher food. Or Hentai.
