I had some pennies left over from my PC built.

1. Price - 400-500 $ every 5 years is OK for me.
2- Games library quality/quantity - I count both multi and ex games, Sony is the winner in both scenarios if we talk about 8ht gen. Sony games are often the very best games I played in my life.
3 - In my country console players are mostly older and more hardcore players than PC users, so mulitplayer matchmaking benefits from it a lot.
4 - Physical disk games - I leaved PC industry simply because of mandatory Steam. I often lend my games to my friends and I borrow them, so this is deal killer for me.
5 -Simplicity - Im not techy tech guy.
6- My TV is almost 3x bigger than my monitor.

You probably sit x3 further away from it tho right? Obviously for couch multiplayer a big ass TV is a great thing to have but if you are sat directly in front of it I find little difference between my 22in monitor and my 42in TV



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I think yes, but still - for me - I can feel the difference. 



Because it's easier to set up offline multiplayer matches/playthroughs there than in PC.

First, Second and Third party games. certainly not disappointed so far, and there is A LOT to look forward to. plus, great graphics and interface, lots of neat features and at the time i bought it, VR was all but confirmed, and that interests me.
