Console-only players love to tell that their console is much cheaper than PC, but what they don't tell:

  1. Limited amount of games.
  2. No emulators.
  3. Can't use as PC (e.g. elderly parents, for web browsing, with M&K)
  4. You can't turn your console into home server/media player.
  5. Can't have mods (both game and OS).

Xbox users, when SSD fails, they can't replace it. They have to bring it to authorized repair service for SSD change for ~$200-$300.

Playstation, if you jailbreak it AND play online - Sony will permaban your account (I have personal experience from this). Which means - I will never ever buy Sony console again.

So what I am trying to tell that consoles (xbox/ps) are basically a scam.

Handheld PCs are good way to go. The Steam Deck created the competition from different OEMs making Windows handheld PCs.

Hey, SOME console games support mods now. Skyrim in particular has console compatible mods.
