  Ehh

  I feel like most people that really care about their operating system are more than likely going to build a PC

  Most people buying a pre-built device are like Apple users “It just works”

  I have an expensive PC I built but I’m a console gamer

  I enjoy a comfy couch, big TV, and controller.

  It’s the ease of just hitting a couple buttons and getting to play a game.

  Could I hook my PC to my TV? Yes, but that would require me to move my PC from my desk.

  Also things like controllers. If I hooked my PC to my TV to play something like Overwatch I’d have to play with m/kb people which I would be at a severe disadvantage if I played with a controller.

  Like if Xbox overwatch allowed m/kb (yeah I know people cheat) I’d probably stop playing it.

  It’s the PC gamers that always want consoles to support m/kb. Console gamers do not want to play on m/kb.

  In my mind lack of m/kb is why consoles exist

  People aren’t buying PS/Xbox for a living room PC. They want a console gaming experience
