Sure, if you like being handed games instead of deciding what you want to get.
With every console generation, a new controller is needed. With PC, you can still use your 20-year-old keyboard and mouse if they still work. And the chances are pretty high that you already own a keyboard and a mouse. Not everyone does, but a lot of people already have a desktop, and even laptop people usually have a mouse. Anyway, apparently this is another PC vs. consoles comparison. And yet again, it conveniently forgets subscription costs, more expensive games, the cost of potentially owning multiple consoles, and probably a lot of other, less important but still relevant things. I really doubt there's just one objective truth that applies to everyone when it comes to PC vs. consoles. For some people, PC will offer better value, while to some other people, consoles will offer better value. There might be an objective answer for an average consumer, I doubt almost anyone on this site is qualified to determine it because determining it is most certainly not simple (or rather, it probably is relatively simple, but requires access to a good bit of data, some of which may not even have been collected). |
Sometimes you actually get games that you want.
Also in this comparison I did add subscription cost. Owning multiple consoles isn't really relevant for this.

Are they? they tend to be the same games given away with other similar programs. Older games that have already spent the vast majority of their selling prowess. |
Yes but these games that are given can bring in new fans and some people might want a old game but never got the chance to play it so it being free is a positive.
