1. XBL and PS+ actively provides free games monthly that may not offset steam sales, but they deserve a mention. And I'm pretty sure I can't build an equal or better computer for what I paid for my Xbox/PS4 & Switch. Matter of fact, let's remove the switch from the equation because the switch is a different lane than home consoles. Can you build something equal to or better than an Xbox or PS4 with $250? $350? Is it not more of a rolling investment since parts have to be updated over time?
2. Future proof?
3. Still doesn't undermine being too close to the screen to appreciate said graphical improvements. And
most people on a monitor? Strongly doubt it.
4. Pretty much. Windows still sucks though.
5. Agreed. That's a fair assessment. But until physical is phased out, it's better to have games you can sell/have control of regardless of internet connection, no?
6. See #3 regarding graphics. Isn't there an Xbox that does mods too now? Is that still solely a PC thing? Either way, I don't care too much for mods save for Bethesda bug fixes.
Unless you love The Last of Us or Uncharted like that,
your setup may be redundant.
I've played on a top-end gaming PC, and I'm in possession of an entry-level one, so what I'm saying isn't a biased, pro-console/anti-PC take.
That said, it would seem like the only way to make PC gaming better than console, is to spend hundreds (thousands?) more than the actual consoles, just to play the same games with community add-ons. That to me, is not worth it. To each their own though.
