    While this is true, consoles still manage to have a way more convenient experience. Its the only reason why they exist (today)

      I think that’s mainly a relic from the past. I didn’t have compability or driver issues for a long time.

      Once the PC is set up, it’s as comfortable as a console. Setting the PC up to console standards is reduced to installing steam.

        Looks like you never played on a computer on a TV screen. The experience is plaged by pad connection problems (Bluetooth), windows popups, random no full screen issues, sound suddenly on the wrong channel, microphone not working, mouse cursor in the middle of the screen (often reset to the middle after launching the game, even when you are playing with a pad) and so on. You still need a keyboard and a mouse near your couch and there is always something. For sure iam still not paying the markup for a console, but i get why there is a big market.

          What are you on about? I use my PC on my TV all the times and I don’t have a single issue you describe. I just have it connected with Hdmi. The TV even turns on and off automatic if function activate.

          You’re doing something wrong. I’ve been playing PC games on my couch for a decade and haven’t had any of those issues.
