I built a pc back in march for $1400 AUD. It runs all games I want, but 2K23 came out recently and found no next gen on pc. Is it worth selling my PC for a little more than I paid (eg, $1500). I feel like doing this I could buy game pass and other games for next gen and the only games i would miss out one would be Trackmania and PC Rust. I would like to know your thoughts on this.

How are you going to sell your PC for more than you paid for it? That's generally not how that works.

If you don't need a PC for anything else a console is perfectly fine for gaming. Not everyone needs the absolute prettiest or cheapest games.

1. 2k23? come on, the franchise is just a cash grab targeting people desperate enough to buy it on every release. Buying it just promotes bad business practice, yearly re-releasing crappy games without any meaningful improvement. 

2. A month ago is a whole different story, GPUs are flooding the market even more now, you could try to sell it at the same price or more, but that is just hoping for some fools who don't know anything about PC.

3. As said by others, might as well go with consoles.

Occassionaly visits the forum when I have nothing to do at work.

What are you asking? The next gen of consoles won’t be out for years
