The fun thing is that PC also wins if you're not willing to pay. Considering the crazy PC technology of not having to upgrade your hardware to be allowed to play new games.

That too. The old Sandy Bridge 6-core PC that I built a decade ago is going to be gaming for 3x console generations.
Might not be my primary driver anymore, but it's still go some life left in it.

Yeah, if you bought a 3820 8 years ago now you're still good today. And it's only slightly weaker than a 10th Gen i5 despite the selling price at the time wasn't much higher than the one of the i5 10600 today ($283 for the 3820, so just $70 less for the non-K version, and a paltry $20 more than a 10600K today). It's biggest drawback today is probably not it's performance, but that it's on a hopelessy outdated platform.
