    I sit down, push one button on my Xbox controller to turn it on and another once more to play a game.

    It is just a world easier to play a game on a console than it is on a PC. I’m sure we can be objective about this.

      It’s really not objectively worlds easier though. With a smart setup, it’s a difference of literally 1-2 taps on my phone screen and then I put my phone down beside me and grab my wireless controller and the rest of the experience is identical, only it has all the benefits of a PC (unlimited fps, zero ads, no reliance on subscription services, streaming services, etc). For 90% of end users yeah it’s easier because they think you have to sit at a desk with a wired mouse and keyboard to interface with desktop PC hardware, but that’s a plebian problem tbh.

      sure, but in the spirit of objectivity, you realize that you can just boot a pc into big picture mode and its ready to be used entirely from the couch right? All you have to do is press the power button on your pc and its ready to go
