NES

As an avid PC gamer, these are the benefits of consoles:

• Exclusive games

• Generally a better couch co op experience (better support mostly, especially for Nintendo Switch)

• Specifically the Nintendo Switch is portable (Steam Deck is an alternative, but with how good Nintendo exclusives are I prefer the Switch, Switch has the added benefit of the joy cons being separate controllers so you can play co op without a TV or power hookup)

• Competitive online games usually have fewer hackers (this is more relevant for older online games, new games (games being actively supported or came out within the last few years) don't usually have hackers on PC as well, but as a game gets older hacking becomes more common on PC especially)

I hate to be that guy but....

1. Value to performance when buying everything new consoles are cheaper, but PCs being upgradable without having to replace everything brings hardware costs down over time, games on PC are also cheaper

2. Building a PC is incredibly simple, anyone who can follow basic directions can do it, it's like Legos

3. PCs have more controller options than consoles

4. While the set up can be more complicated, you can set it up to have a very console like experience

5. PC can connect to to virtually any screen

6. You can put a PC in your living room and play from a couch or chair

7. PCs don't really take up any more space than a console

8. There are many form factors for PCs, many of which are smaller than modern consoles, and because you can connect it to any screen you don't need to bring anything more with a PC

I love the Switch, don't have a PS5, don't really see the point in getting one, I game on Switch and PC, plus retro systems. Honestly lately I've been playing my GBA more than anything.

Nintendo, it's what I'm used to, whenever I pick up an Xbox controller (or other controller with the same layout) I always screw up the buttons if the game tells me to push A I usually push B first and vice versa, same with X and Y.
