Which of those is a lie?

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.

1. Just a random example, Google The Witcher 3 PC issues drivers, you'll get plenty of hits.
2. 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.
3. And gaming at a desk, cut out from your partner or family, who wants that? I know I did when I was a teenager.

1. Consoles have similar problems with games. Just look at the number of updates they need these days and some never get fixed (google Skyrim PS3)
2. Completely false considering a mid-high tier PC from March 2012 is still capable of playing equivalent games at higher settings and resolutions than PS4 (that's mine btw; Core i5 2500K, 8Gb RAM and an AMD HD7870).
3. It's 2015, not 2000. There are plenty of controllers, case designs and interfaces to make gaming on a couch and TV a viable option. Valve are introducing a bunch of PCs just for that.
