That’s a bit of a misnomer. Consoles rarely run games at native 4K and if they do the graphics settings are usually set to low. Native 4K high/ultra textures at 60 is better than upscaled 4K low preset at 120 imo. You are also completely at the mercy of the game dev whether or not they program their game to run at 120 or 4K (it’s exceedingly rare for a game to support both). Whereas you can make virtually any PC game run at 120 with little hassle. And 4K 120 tvs are expensive ($1k+). You might as well put that extra capital towards a proper gaming desktop and monitor.

For the same price you could either get a $1000 pc and $500 monitor or a $500 console and a $1000 tv. The choice is clear to me.

It's never too late to pick it back up. There are so many different options and affordable ways to play games now. The trick is finding what system (or combination of systems) works best for your situation.

For me, it's PC with game pass and PS5 with PS Plus hooked up to my TV. But the optimal setup will be different for everyone.

I think not actually being able to secure a PS5 is fair. I do have both myself, and the only thing I really like about the Series X is it runs some older titles really well. At the same time "playing the Xbox 360 version of Dead Space 2 at 60FPS" probably isn't the greatest selling point for a console in 2022.

Some people love GamePass - I have it too and find it kinda meh. Most of the content on it is old and I've played it already. With the new content, I'd rather just buy whatever the odd game on it I actually want.
