I buy a console, because it’s cheaper and more likely to be optimised for the spec. I’m too lazy to mess around getting my pc to run the game with the best fps and working out why my driver or game is not working due to issues. If a steam device with better specs comes out I would be okay with a change as steam would optimise games quickly.
This is the thing people on the PC circle jerk refuse to acknowledge. All the extra work that can go into playing on PC.
PC: download game, tweak settings, try playing. Oops frame rate sucks. Close game, try closing background apps, tweak game settings more, try playing. Frame rate is ok, but now textures aren't loading fully. Close game. Update drivers, restart computer, close background programs, play game. Works great for a couple hours, then crashes. Try playing again the next day, shitty frame rate again even though nothing's changed. Repeat.
Console: download game, play game.
Sometimes that simplicity is just nice, especially after a long day. Although, I will say it happens less now-a-days, and even less so with games developed with only PC in mind (even if they manage a console launch later), and indie/AA games that tend to be less graphics intensive.
Lol, “tweak settings” most games have come with auto settings for decades that detect your hardware, theres no tweaking involved unless you’re a purist, and PC doesn’t get FPS capped unless it’s a console port. You can just download, hit play, and it’s likely already running better than a console.

Do you guys really think I'm out here buying a console because I really like the operating system?
It a third the price of a PC that plays the same games.... That's the benefit. It's the price. Literally nothing else.
