WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO VIDEO GAMES?!

In the 1990s, game consoles were distinct entities from PCs.  Now game consoles are close enough to PCs that it makes more sense to buy a PC.  To be viable, the consoles have to offer some kind of value, like the XBox Series X did for $500, which was considerably cheaper than the equivalent gaming PC.  The low price was achieved through custom hardware and mass production.
