  Can you even buy a current gen console for that? Genuinely asking, I don’t own any console systems but thought they were in the $5-600 range now (excluding the Switch)?

    They are and it’s a shame. But it’s ok, wait and buy used.

    This isn’t as powerful as a PS5 or as portable as a Switch (and doesn’t have the benefits of a console). So it should be cheaper. Looking at the prices right now, PS5 with Fifa is 450 from MediaMarkt and Series S is 380. But the PS5 is already heavily criticised for being too expensive. I believe Series S can be 300 if you look around and wait for a sale.
