People get consoles because:

-Its all about plugging the device into the power outlet and a TV and play.

Nothing stops you from playing your PC games on a TV.



The one and only point for consoles are the exclusives of this and last generation. Nothing stops you from playing your PC games on a TV.The one and only point for consoles are the exclusives of this and last generation.



Oh, do you really want to move your computer to your TV every time you play, and demote the PC experience into a pseudo console with sometimes subpar experiences? There are a million things stopping anyone from doing this, and you're totally wrong about that being an only point. Like I said, consoles don't force that you research what kind of hardware do you need to run an optimized game, but rather the games get built and optimized for your own hardware, meaning less dealing with terribly slow games.



Consoles and PCs have pros and cons, not a single pro for consoles like you say.

Cables aren't usually 1 m short, at least in my experience.

Pseudo console with sometimes subpar experience? Haha, if you mean that the PC version normally looks better and the loading times aren't nearly as bad. Then yes, I agree.

"Research". I didn't know that looking something up which takes less than a minute classifies as research. Also, it's a load of bs console people spread. I bought my PC almost 3 years ago for 600€ and I have played all the games at high settings so far. And for the next three years, I will still be able to play everything, just not at the highest quality anymore.

Cables are always going to be mess.

There are no guarantees that all the PC games you're going to buy is going to run better and look better with the current hardware. Usually these PC games you overhype are really unoptimized, though loading times, I can give you that. It is still a sub par experience if you're gonna make it a console, but hey, PCs are supposed to be PCs, not consoles.



Nah, research takes more than just a minute. You'd need to know a good processor, a good GPU and a motherboard to combine them while also keeping enough budget for the rest of the computer. Stop making PC building look easier than it actually is.



You have to admit there were games that never run on high settings well. Unoptimized games lurk on the PC a lot more than you think. Not dealing with unoptimized games or this whole settings fiasco is an advantage for the consoles, clearly.

You would only need one though. And I guess it's already possible to stream to your TV in this day and age anyway.

There is no guarantee, you are right. Dark Souls wasn't optimized but the PC community did well to remove several flaws and make it a really good experience.

You said: "[...]consoles don't force that you research what kind of hardware do you need to run an optimized game...". So you referred to the games themselves, as far as I understood it. If you are talking about buying a PC...you can always just simply buy one from a store. Those parts are sure to work well with each other.

There are unoptimized games on both sides on the river. Those can be AA and AAA titles. The advantage the PC has, modders can fix a lot of things. On a console you have less freedom, so you can easily be stuck with such a game. Also, this has nothing to do with settings then. You would only need one though.
