For a more eli5 answer, you can think of it like this: you want to race a car on a track. Buying a PC is like buying a van. You can absolutely drive it on the track, you can also sleep in it, carry 8 passengers, 2 tons of cargo, and with modifications, you can set up an office, or even cook in it. Buying the console is like spending the same money on a sports car. It will be great on track, much better than the van, but you won’t have many passengers, you will struggle to fit your groceries in it, much less fit a pallet of bricks, and you definitely won’t cook in it. It’s not just because the car is designed for the track, but tracks are designed with sports cars in mind. Just like games that are built to run well on consoles, and a PC of even double the price will struggle to keep up sometimes
