That’s me. I spent 4 years with the last gen and I don’t feel bad about spending $1600 this time. I actually feel lucky that I kind of skipped over the whole shortage.

Absolutely, and that's pretty serious coin even for us wealthy tech workers! You could buy both next gen consoles for the price of a single component in your computer.

A computer is the thing you attach to your graphics card.

Sure, if the card costs $1600. But for most mere mortals, their GPU is built into the CPU, soldered onto a laptop motherboard, or if truly discrete, is at most a quarter of the total BOM.
