The $700 build is definitely not keeping up with AAA games for two full console generations.

That’s cool, but most people want to keep playing current AAA games.
Do you need a new keyboard and mouse though? Even laptop users usually already have a mouse, and keyboards tend to have good longevity - mine is over 10 years old.
Many people already have a laptop and want to build a PC specifically for gaming, though. Upgrading isn’t all it’s cracked up to be IMO, it’s definitely nice to have but a console lasts the entire console generation (5 years give or take?) if you ignore then mid-gen upgrade which is usually entirely optional.
… can you actually make a PC with comparable performance these days? What does a console-level GPU cost these days?
That’s just one internet rando.
Who are these people?
What about gun adverts? YouTube has a terrible track record for policing its advertising content.
The fact that most of my PC builds are generally midrange builds (i.e. about that $700 price if I reuse the case and PSU and GPU prices aren’t surging), and that midrange-build-GPU is only barely usable for AAA for one full generation. It might go for longer with games that are as well-optimized as a Doom game, but that’s not the norm.
