PC gaming today: pay absurd prices, take time setting everything up, sit in an uncomfortable desk chair hovering a mouse.

Console gaming: cheaper, plug it in your tv and you're done, sit on your couch, use a controller.

I use a PC for a lot of things but gaming will never be one of them. The console looks great as it is.

They’re different markets though. It’s like $50 bluetooth keyboards for the everyday user versus $200 mechanical keyboards with replaceable keycaps. The latter intentionally requires tinkering because it’s geared towards an enthusiast that enjoys the tinkering.

Outside of the true exclusives, console games are just a subset of PC games. So as a PC gamer, you get access to console games + the majority of MOBA, MMO, RTS, 4X.

I really miss keyboard and mouse on gaming console. It's weird that devices originally for non-gaming is better than a gaming oriented device, but gamepad is really painful for some games like FPS/TPS.

The mouse is fundamentally a precision aiming device. There's just no credible substitute, it enables whole categories of games.
