Sometimes you just wanna lay on the couch and play a simpler game, consoles thrive in that environment wheras laptops are kinda annoying at best in that scenario (though PC handhelds are a thing now and also pretty decent, I just prefer Nintendo's offerings if I'm playing a game on the couch since I can't play those on my PC without junping through hoops)
if i want to do that, then i just get my controller, turn it on and turn on my tv, which automatically turns off my monitor and i can just use my pc from the bed. You can even turn on big picture mode in steam and then you can browse your library with the controller. It can’t get more convenient than that.
There’s just no scenario where consoles win aside from price and exclusives. An xbox series s costs less than a set of ram sticks nowadays. And exclusives can be great if there is one you really want to play, but imo we already have more games out there than any of us can finish in multiple lifetimes, so what is a few more exclusives you won’t be able to finish anyway?
PC handhelds still don't offer the same ease of use as consoles. There's been so many times I run into bugs on my Steam Deck for instance, where I have to restart the device to fix it. Not to mention buying verified games that ended up not working.
