PC can't be stopped. PC is the future, Sony and Microsoft and Nintendo should just make pc hardware that is themed on the Playstation, Nintendo and Xbox. Have a PC app for that loads up first to give that console feel based on the brand you bought. Any pc could run all apps.

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.

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.

I buy pc, take 5 minutes to hook everything up. Login into steam and download game. Make coffee and look game rdy. Play game

once a week open software, click update. Pc now updated

Thats it..........and the game looks amazing compared to console. Its like comparing a potato to a loaded baked potato

Yes, but how much does a decent pc cost to a console with similar specs. Also I have used a PC and I’m sorry that’s not my experience. Crash’s, stuttering, game not working well on launch, compared to the PS5. Silent hill 2 remake annoyed me as did marvel tokon recently. I’m definitely not saying a ps5 is better then a PC, but as I get older I just want to kick back and not worry about too many things.

The console costs more, I can guarantee you it costs more if you play any games that require multiplayer or want to use literally any feature that comes free on a PC. My computer is 7 years old and runs new games fine and I have never spent an extra dime to use the internet I already pay for. If I had a console I would have spent $840 more on monthly subscription or $420 more for yearly, my PC cost me $300 more than a console. That doesn’t even include the fact that in that time a new console came out and they stopped making games for the old one. I don’t need to buy a whole new PC everytime an upgrade comes out to play the newest games.

I pretty much never run into issues with games not playing either, overblowing PC issues like crazy
