I don't get why anyone would want a console when you can play games on a PC with mods and much better graphics. If I can't mod a game, I will lose interest in it pretty quickly. The last console I bought was a PS3 and I really only got it to watch blurays on.

Because you can just sit and play. No doubts about if it will work nor performance, no adjustments, no stress of any kind, just play. I like PC gaming, but consoles have their appeal.

That's been less true with the last few console generations. You have confusing mid generation upgrades, day one patches, hefty install sizes and other confusing issues. Consoles are not as pick up and play as they used to be or should be.

Oh, 100%. Though with the Steam Deck, I'd argue that consoles advantage is being eroded.
