The hardware, yes. You can build a console-equivalent system for only a little bit more. It is far cheaper in the long run though. Games cost less, after all.
Mixing used and new hardware is the cheat code. A used RTX 2080 beats Xbox Series X and PS5, yet it can be found for only about 200 bucks. The rest of the hardware can be new. That’s how I did it.

And it’s only marginally more expensive.

A mid-low end GPU is the same price as a console right now.

I account for the online cost where you have to pay to play on servers the console creators don’t run.
