Most video game consoles sell for around 500-600 dollars and can run very high performance games like God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 while also being able to access the internet.
But if you want a computer that can do the same, it tends to cost way more, like above 2000 dollars. The processor or graphics card components alone can cost more than an entire console.
Why? If it seems like they have the same things in terms of hardware, why are the prices so different?

Consoles only have to do a few specialised tasks, with standardised hardware and software. This reduces complexity and cost.
PCs have to do a huge variety of tasks, and can have a wide range of hardware and software from basic to ridiculous, and little of it mass produced. Makes everything more complex and expensive
