Honestly price isn’t an issue and the reason to go PS5 over PC is the ease of use. I can’t stand having to get up to use my mouse to click start game, or games that never implemented proper console support on PC for whatever reason. It’s just so much easier to have working HDR, Dolby Atmos, etc on a PS5 than it is with Steam big picture on a PC. I’ve tried it many times and there’s always some frustration with the PC on a home theater setup.
Because a PC at a $700 price point will not perform the way the PS5 pro will, or be guaranteed that level of performance on its games for nearly as long. You can always get a better PC for more money but even at $700 the value to performance ratio is there for consoles.
Why not go PC at this point. Modern consoles are locked pre-built PCs and paying $700 for a locked system is crazy.

Steamdeck + Dock and you can game on your TV AND on your travels.
