I spent 20 years being exclusively console and wouldn't touch PC. Now I'm PC and dropped consoles, except Nintendo. Below are the reasons I did it, not sure if the points translate to others or not.
1) price. Consoles aren't cheap. At face value $500 is fine but add in online at $80 year, games at $80 and HDD upgrades at $200 to $300.... to get the most of the ps5 (console, hdd upgrade and online) exceeds $1000..... that PC money.
2) PC is plug and play, works just like a console.
3) consoles update as much as computers. Sony made it worse by having controller fricking updates.
4) consoles exclusives are dead. My PC is more like a PC + Xbox + ps5..... and fully BC.
Consoles, just my opinion, have forfeited their benefits over the years. Online costs in particular just don't make console pricing attractive. And PC sales are saving me a fortune and will offset the cost of my expensive GPU with ease.
