Consoles are much better for just playing games. I have a 2k gaming PC that I also use for work, just compiling code and running tests all day. I also ssh into it as well from my laptop. You can't do this with a console.

Nowadays, I almost always recommend just getting a console unless you plan on doing other computer related work or tasks.

Console nowadays relies way too much on subscription.

• Playing online
• Backing up save data (Cloud is free but they lock it so people have to pay)
• Retro games can't simply buy them 1 time purchase ($160 a year for Sony)
• No mods, even though mods can great enhance a game
• No more Action Replay or Game Shark to cheat in a game. Remember cheating isn't only used to make a game easier but also make it harder or do things that was never intended to do.
• Can remove BC completely like the PS4 and Switch

A PC may cost more than a console at first, but with all the spending a console needs, eventually a PC ending costing less.

Plus there is the Steam Deck.
