It isn`t that because have a PC can buy a console, it is that in general the people that builds a gaming PC (with a single graphic card costing more than the whole console) in Brazil won't be troubled by buying a console as well to the point of complaining only bought a console because that game and now is feeling ripped off. And if you could expend 6000 over one year for your PC, will you say you couldn't buy a PS4 and pay in 12 of 150RS or less on the year after? You may not have the need or wish, and as I also said, that same person if bought only for GoW could sell the console afterwards and would have costed a fraction of that, so I don't buy that narrative.

And sure you can do a lot more stuff on PC, but let's be real that is just a validation, because besides people that use professional grade very have SW on the PC, they don't need a gaming RIG to do work, surf the web, watch stuff, etc. A PC of 1k R$ would suffice, so at the time 1k for PC and 1.5k for PS4 would be less than half of what you put on PC. You bought the PC because you preffer it, just that, on cost discussion PC won't really win.

Oh, you were talking about those people uhh, throwing their game in the trash (obviously only theatrically) because their exclusive isn't exclusive anymore? I felt like that was coming mostly from Sony fanboys and not people who have gaming PCs. Either way yeah that is pretty silly.

As for me, personally I actually couldn't afford anything after my PC, because the pandemic started just as I finished building it and I haven't had a steady income since. And while I don't need a gaming PC for work, it does help a lot to have a decent one as it allows me to get things done in a quicker and more efficient manner. And to be fair, the audio software does use a lot of CPU power. Sure, for most people a cheap PC can be enough, but it will be a problem for anyone doing actual work on it, which is the case for a lot of people.

Ultimately, yeah, the reason why I spent big on a PC is of course preference, I decided that was worth it for me. Whereas a PS4/PS5 is something I've only ever felt interest in due to a few specific exclusives, so if those can come to a machine I already own, that's just great.

Well the way they post their complain on the reclameaqui would seem like they are PC gamers instead of Sony fanboys since they are sayin they only bought PS4 because of GoW, if they were Sony fanboys they wouldn`t have bought only for one game =p

But yes they were ridiculous

Sure if you are already going to build a PC that you like to game on it will serve for other stuff and make your work faster/easier, and well the CPU itself (for your audio would cost you like 1k more or less, the GPU would be the bigger problem).

And your condition is very different from other people. Because as you said, you have a PC for your reasons and the selected games that you were interested if they go to PC is a bonus it isn't like you would go there and buy a PS4. And I would say you luckied out building your PC pre pandemia because the prices in brazil skyrockted hard.

PS: this reminded me of some crazy person (which you aren't) justifying buying a iphone 13 because it worked as gaming smartphone, to work and etc and saying it made more sense than having an average/medium android phone and a middle range PC or console.
