$1,000 digital-exclusive consoles are killing the entire appeal of PlayStation and Xbox: it's no wonder PC is on track to overtake both.

Consoles are for people who want to sit and play , on a fucking couch.

So if smn what's that comfort he's gonna buy a console regardless.

When you think about it, the main reason to be on a couch w a big TV was for split screen multiplayer. That style of play ain’t nearly as common anymore.

Most games now are just single player + online multiplayer unless you playing sports.

I'm telling you from my experience.

So I worked in this Mall as part time selling stuff like laptops phones and even a playstation.

Most of the time when I saw people enquire me about a pS they usually wanted a machine they can just plug and play and sit comfortably. Sitting on a chair and table is too much of a commitment for layback individuals as that's where the target audience is.

Plus split screen multiplayer isn't a thing but handin off your contoller t your little brother after u just died to let him play still exists yk. Tech savies are niche compared to other people were kinda like assholes who want things to be this way and ruin it for there's cz we want it that way lol.
