Yeah, I wouldn't buy a CPU with less cores and threads than a PS5 / Xbox Series console.

That could backfire in new multiplatform games after the (console) crossgen phase.

That would be like saying you shouldn't buy an i5 2500k because the ps4 had 8 core cpu...

...which ran into severe frame pacing issues late into the PS4/XBO lifetime because it only had 4 threads.

The 2500K was great when it came out, but by 2018, it's lack of threads practically killed the chip, as it resulted in severe microstutter in most newer titles. So for those who wanted to keep their CPU for many years, the 2700 would have been the much better choice.
