At least in the EU PC market you won’t find anything new near that price range. 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB SSD and an Arc B580 alone cost 900€, which is a bit more 1000 dollars. With CPU (7500f; AM5), mainboard, cooler, case and power supply, you’d end up at 1300€, which is 1500 dollars. You could save money by buying into AM4 since DDR4 is 200€ cheaper than DDR5, but do you really want to buy into an old platform?
I have a PS5 myself and to be honest, I’d like a PC. I haven’t even played on the PS5 since a month or so because I don’t have any games which I really want to play on there. I don’t like the closed ecosystem, that’s why I also despise the Apple ecosystem I was forced into. My laptop fortunately can handle emulation pretty good (even some Switch games), but it’s still an iGPU (Arc 130t; there are iGPUs like the 8060s that have good performance, but those are also rather for Mini PCs).
I also think that it’s hard for people to let go of their stuff. PS5 users probably rather pay 80-130€ a year for PS Plus than buying a PC because it makes the PS5 obsolete, mainly because of the closed ecosystem.
