I also find it much less drama to sit down on the couch and fire up a console, than to have to:

- startup PC

- update PC

- figure out why bluetooth controller won't pair to PC

- finally get it working, and then have a game crash on you

Considering that the constant stream of system software and game updates became a thing exactly in the 7th console generation (x360 era), updates are a pretty funny thing to bring up in a comparison like this.

Yeah that’s fair, my consoles are mostly Nintendo or older systems
