He also forgot you can simply keep upgrading you PC, and your PC can play all your old games without having to repurchase them.

Also, if you added another $800 to your PC every 7 years it would still outperform a console.

Also a gaming PC is still a usable computer, a console is not. Therefore a home PC can pay for itself by letting you code on it or whatever it is you may do.

This is what worries me with younger generations.

Just the other day when google shut down google music a top comment was pretty much 'sorry boomers no one keeps mp3s anymore we all stream get lost dinosaurs'[1] as if that streaming service would always be there...in a thread about a huge music SAAS shutting down!

A lot of people want to play games on the couch with a controller, not hunched over a desk which is the typical pc experience.

That and you are going to end up buying a PC of some kind anyway because you can't work on a console
