You get cheaper games, no subscription for online play, mods, replaceable parts, and an actual computer that can do literally anything you program it to though. Also a PS5 is at the very least $550 where I live

A PC being able to do literally anything doesn't factor in at all imo. Most people buying consoles don't want it to do anything but play games

People with consoles don't also have computers?
