You can smoke a ps5 with a 5600 and a 6700xt….

But that's not the point of owning a console. The point is that both the XBOX Series X and PS5 are a lower cost of entry. On the current consoles you can play in 4K and the games look really good, where you don't feel like you are missing out on anything.

I play MSFS 2020/24 on both my PC (Ultra settings) and XBOX and if you didn't tell me which platform the game was on, I couldn't tell you as well. The PC and XBOX versions look nearly identical. The exception is, the PC will get you a higher refresh rate. Most of the AAA titles today are developed for the console first because they have the wider audience.
