Can we finally kill off consoles now, please? They haven't been relevant or necessary for 20 years now. There is nothing you can do with the console that can't be done with a PC.
When the PS5 released I was contemplating getting a new PC first. Then I saw the crazy GPU prices and shortage. Ps5 was an incredible purchase at the time to play all current games without spending over 1k to do the same on PC. That alone is a huge reason to still go console. That plus the exclusives which were great.
"Play all current games" .... at $60 or more a pop, with no sales. Meanwhile, wait almost no time and see deep discounts on brand new PC games, negating your "price advantage" bullshit. As well as tons of classic games which are far and away better than new style over substance story over gameplay trash games for cheap or even (legally) free. Plus no monthly XPSBox Plus Live Advantage fee to let you do basic things that are taken for granted on PC.
Console "gamers" are delirious. Wake up and see how infinitely better PC is.
You really think there are no sales on console games? That just shows how you have no idea what you're talking about. There are sales on the digital stores pretty much every week and if that's not enough you can look for sales in physical stores or even buy games used.
Steam sales used to be amazing years ago but are not that special anymore, so maybe you need to wake up? The prices are pretty much the same across all platforms today.
I like to play on my PC at times, I have a Steam library with around 700 games, but if titles are available on console I rather play them there because it's more convenient for me and if someone disagrees with that I don't really give a fuck. PC people who thinks they are on some kind of holy crusade just weirds me out. Mind your own business.
