Honestly? When PS3 happened I said enough regarding consoles and didn’t buy a single one since. I still have a GameCube and PS2 packed in a box somewhere. PC. The device never changes, I can just upgrade it myself.
I’m not sad for scalpers. Reselling has trashed the used market for everyone.

Scalpers make a gamble that the price will go up. This time, they lost that gamble.

I only ever owned or even used one console the original NES. After that all my gaming was on PC. Consoles are for suckers.

I don’t get why anyone would want a console when you can play games on a PC with mods and much better graphics. If I can’t mod a game, I will lose interest in it pretty quickly. The last console I bought was a PS3 and I really only got it to watch blurays on.

Because you can just sit and play. No doubts about if it will work nor performance, no adjustments, no stress of any kind, just play. I like PC gaming, but consoles have their appeal.

Unreal 5 has not been kind to this argument

That’s been less true with the last few console generations. You have confusing mid generation upgrades, day one patches, hefty install sizes and other confusing issues. Consoles are not as pick up and play as they used to be or should be.

That stuff is for the work PC not the Gaming PC.

The only reason I’m vaguely looking at a PS5 is to play Astro bot. And it can wait like a decade to be available on emulators

sounds like if you can’t scalp it inside the return period, you probably shouldn’t have bought it in the first place.
