But now you’re assuming the PC isn’t also getting more expensive.

If a console designed to break even is $1,000 then surely an equivalent PC hardware designed to be profitable without software sales revenue will be more expensive.

Says who?

Economists use the consumer price index, which tracks a wide basket of goods and services.

Comparing console prices to a single good is nonsense, even if the good has 6000 of years of history, it's not a good comparison to a single good in a vacuum.

PCs do get cheaper over time though, except if there is another crypto boom, then we are all doomed.

A GTX1050ti was $139 9 years ago. Getting a Ryzen 8700G instead of a 8700F gives you more and costs you $39 today!
