Most of them. I've never had to fiddle with drivers/settings etc. Get the odd time where a game won't start until I've downloaded a driver update but that's not exactly hard. Besides, speaking of updates 99% of the time they are automatic anyways. Windows does most of them automatically, usually including driver updates. While Steam auto downloads any necessary game updates. PS3 only does that if you pay for PS+, while I'm not aware of either the PS4 or Xbox One being able to do that yet. So that 'frequent updates required' thing isn't really a thing. Updates are done much more in the background and you rarely notice them, same can't really be said for consoles. As for extra space... well you know a laptop could be used for PC gaming too right? Besides I expect the vast majority of people already have a computer + desk for other purposes anyways so it's not as if it's any more space than was being taken up by your old PC anyway.

Just a random example, Google The Witcher 3 PC issues drivers, you'll get plenty of hits.
I said frequent upgrades, not update. Updates are done in the background for the PS4 as well.
Gaming on a laptop is the most uncomfortable thing ever and you're still left with the final issue. So. I think all of them are true.
And gaming at a desk, cut out from your partner or family, who wants that? I know I did when I was a teenager.

Oh well that's even easier to counter then. I've had my current PC since 2011, haven't done a single upgrade to it and I can still buy and play new games on it.
Conversely I bought a PS3 in 2011. That broke in 2012 so I had to upgrade to a super slim. Then in 2013 upgraded again to a PS4. ugh, so many upgrades needed to play PS games!

I'm sure many people have had hardware issues with PC as well. I've had my PS3 for 6 years and still running very well. Playing Grid 2 atm. In that time, I've had 2 laptops with the 2nd one not being able to run without being connected. My work laptop has had its screen replaced twice. My current work laptop had one BSOD.
