If you consider hardware functionality, IDK why people buy consoles at all. The sky is the limit for what I can do on even a low end PC and there are significant limits to functionality on consoles. Not to mentioned the walled garden you're forced into with consoles.
Make money from software, there's little profit in hardware.
I don't have a need for a computer and I enjoy using a controller to easily navigate the system. I can toss the controller just about anywhere without it being in the way. I don't have room for a dedicated desk so the mouse would get lost and the keyboard would be cumbersome for me to set somewhere out of the way.
I like to sit down, turn the console on, recline, turn the TV on, play, toss the controller in or on the coffee table after.
You're getting down voted by pcmr bros. Totally fine to just want the ease of using a console for the reasons you mentioned among many others.
This community is literally called "PC Gaming". They went out of their way to come here and type up a false reason to claim that consoles are better.
No they literally made it extremely clear they were talking about their situation specifically. They didn't say "pc gaming is worse than console gaming," they said console gaming works better for them because of their specific situation. You PC gaming evangelists are so funny :)
It’s just the problem that was brought up has been a solved issue for quite a while. It’s cool if they didn’t know though, i can see the redesigned big picture mode isn’t well advertised.
