Yeah I would. PC gaming requires too much of an investment in time and I regard it as an unhealthy psychological addiction (my little brother is glued to the screen more often than not and.... I'll say no more about that).

Mobile gaming is just generally boring. Console gaming is accessible for me personally because I can pick up a quick match of CoD or spend a few hours on the weekend playing through campaign mode on some of the newer games, and then there's netflix to fall back on or Spotify if I'm cleaning the house. It's really convenient for the kind of media functions I desire.

The only "requirement" for PC Gaming is how much investment you are willing to put into it.

True but the games are meant to pull you in by design and keep you there.  Many games rely on a monthly subscription on PC.  Games on Console are all under an umbrella service.  In fact, I'd speculate that console games don't want to keep you there - Running the servers costs money and since they aren't charging by the month, there will be a point where it just makes no financial sense to keep the servers up.  This is a polar opposite from games like World of Warcraft where, because they have that monthly income from your wallet going straight to their bank account, it's in their best interest to make that game as addicting as fucking possible.  

 

I hope that's worded in a way that makes sense. Let me know if it doesn't and I'll try to explain it differently.
