Something we discuss at home actually, considering we have PCs and consoles mixed. While we trend toward PC, you cannot argue with the ease of use of the console experience. Buy system, buy your game (and yes likely update), but then you play. That's it. I'd say more appealing to most people vs PC.

Kind of…but also not exactly. Yes kids play Roblox etc for the social aspect but there are lots of young gamers who play AAA titles & most of their parents aren’t about to research a gaming PC. Much easier for them to buy a console - in fact I think this is a huge market for digital only games.. 1/X

I would also argue this is why normal people (prices notwithstanding) lean into the Switch versus stuff like the Steam Deck. Yeah, valve has gone to great lengths to abstract the computer-y bits away, but at its core it’s still a handheld PC running some form of a desktop OS.
