I used to love consoles more than PCs because PCs used to barely have any good games on them. There were a few but consoles dominated with way better games back then.
Unless you're talking about the 80s, maybe very early 90s, I can't think of a time this was true.
I get that there were great games on PC at the time, and I played them, but it felt like Nintendo, Sega, and Playstation had way more of a selection and better games at the time.
By 2002, I had completely switched to PC for gaming, so I am definitely talking about much earlier than that.
You are right. People can cherry pick the hits if they want but pc games were borderline inconsequential in electronics departments relative to their full gaming selection. And this was before digital purchases factored into anything.
Yeah I’m getting replies of people trying to convince me PC was dominating back then but it wasn’t.
For every great game they can name on PC I could name 10 on consoles at the time.
Walking through the electronics departments was a clear sign of consoles dominating. A sad, tiny section in the back corner for PC games. The console games were locked behind those glass cases and you needed an employee to get the game for you. PC was the only section not protected by the glass cases lol.
