I thought console gamers were console gamers because they couldn't afford a PC? So basically that would never be the case, then .
If you are a hardcore / pro gamer then i agree with you. If you are a casual gamer like me: not really. In the few rare occasions i actually do play a game i prefer doing it for relaxation reasons and thereby on a couch in front of a tv and with surround sound, more as an alternative to watching tv to bring more diversity to my nightly entertainment. For this reason i prefer console, allthough i could afford playing on a pc.
For me console games give a completely different feeling than pc games. For me it's easier to play casual on a console. With PC it always is more competitive, less relaxing and a greater urge to play more .. and more .. and more .. (But maybe that's only me, because i played 24/7 or as much as humanly possible on pc and neglected important stuff, like school, other people etc until around 10 years ago)
Since playing video games is basically a waste of time, because it does nothing for your life, that's not what i want. Nowadays i only play singleplayer, and with just that the joy of playing vanishes after a few hours of continuous playing anyway, making room for emptiness and getting lost in another world, so why do it. All the accomplishments one has the burning urge to achieve in a game are in reality meaningless. A fact which you will realize at the latest when you lost interest in the particular game.
So yeah i prefer casual gaming on console and spending my time on better things than pc gaming .. like keyboards, learning stuff, software dev .. whatever currently interests me
