I feel like the only “they” that’s ever said this was people making and selling consoles. It’s propaganda and articles like this do more to propagate it than combat it. Stop it.
That and companies like EA where a big chunk of their income comes from various sports games that they half ass a remake of every year. PC gamers don’t touch those, but there’s a large number of people with consoles who only use it for things like FIFA and will continue to dutifully buy the new ones and spend dumb amounts of money to unlock their favorite players.
If I recall correctly, Tim Sweeny said you needed a +900$ for a PC to equal the power of a 500$ PS5. Which wasn’t true even when he said it… and it was time when the ps5 just launched and covid-19 era chip shortage hit the gpu market the most (the ps5 is a SoC with unified ram and underpowered CPU, you could buy the usual second hand Optiplex for ~50$ and spend the remaining 450$ for a GPU/PSU that surclassed PS5)
