Is there any point in owning a console any more? They're twice as expensive as PCs and have 1% of the exclusives, which exist in a highly curated corporate bubble marketed at the dumbest normalfags. If you primarily play on consoles I don't see how you can realistically participate in video game discussion in good faith, and I'm being completely unironic here.

>>715632623 (OP)
I'm absolutely certain that every single person that owns a switch 2 has an IQ below 80.

I used to be Nintendo + PC. Not this gen though.

>Is there any point in owning a console any more?
There isn't. Consoles are a category of product which made a lot of sense back when it first hit the market but that is no longer the case in the present. They continue to exist because there's a lot of inertia, they are well-entrenched by this point.

I've got every Nintendo console except the wii u, virtual boy, and switch 2. I was really dissapointed in the switch 2, it sort of feels like a useless device like the ps4 was, which made me drop Sony as well.

>>715633326
This.
Consoles come from a time when the medium was niche, technology was more primitive and having one single hardware was beneficial for developers.

Its still worth it if the fames you want to play have splitscreen multiplayer, or local multiplayer, and you just want an excuse to hang around with friends.
Otherwise, i don't feel like its worth it.

>>715634132
No, the value on a pc when you consider emulation, torrents, etc makes consoles look pathetic

>>715634068
I got a switch and the reason I didn't get a switch 2 is because it only had 2 good games on it, and they weren't even great or unique games. I was actually appalled by some of the stuff that gets praised by Nintendos consumer base now. Like FE and Xenoblade are nearly 0/10 games for me, I can't take anyone praising those seriously. They are so obviously terrible. Even metronid prime is pretty much just halo slop but even dumber. BotW was eerily similar to ubisoft games. In this way I feel Nintendo has become exactly like Microsoft and Sony, which means they no longer hold value.

Can agree. Switch 2 bricking devices depending on if it's pirated or not sets a bad precedent. Nintendo is too corporate nowadays and lacks the soul the 3DS and WII-U era did even in UI design and platform experience.

>>715632623 (OP)
I grabbed a lot of PS4 games (between 2016-2020) I still haven’t finished all of it (like 30-40), so I ended up getting a PS5. Now I’m stuck in Sony’s ecosystem until I clear that backlog. It’s kinda annoying, but I’m chill with it. Got plenty to play without splashing cash on new games for a bit.

Yes, you absolutely need it to play some actual video games.

As a former Xbox fanboy it pains me to admit it. The Xbox SeX is probably the last Xbox I’ll ever buy. I still wanna get a Switch 2 because eventually games will come to it and I’d like to play those. But other than that, I have a PC for everything else. I wish Microsoft would stop pretending they know how to produce games and just invest all their money into the hardware itself instead of investing it in studios they’re gonna shut down later anyway. Would be nice if Xbox made an ultra powerful console that could rival the highest spec PC, but alas Microsoft is retarded. The one good thing about Xbox and Playstation is they’re a containment platform for normalfags

>>715644774
>ran every single one of their flagship IPs into the ground

Consoles are still worth it for a sofa based gamer into the new yearly sports games. Also fine for the few exclusives if you just don't care about the cost of owning consoles and a decent gaming PC too.
Now the elephant in the room. A whole lot of console gamers just aren't a good match for doing the tech etc for a gaming PC. Either too young or just too stupid, maybe under employed for the costs of a gaming PC etc. Proof of this is in any PC game with crossplay and/or voice chat. It's not everyone but holy shit the bad side of crossplay (console players) is absolute suffering.
3rd world sounding locations of some dude in his parent's kitchen. Squeaker kids who don't understand how to play games. Adults too stupid to grasp team play. Broken engrish or gangsta hood speak etc etc.. Just a whole lot of yeeeah I see why you only have a used console to game on. As it's still better than nothing

>>715650927
How am I lying? A PS5 pro is $700. The PS5 launched at $400. The original PS5 can no longer run current year PS5 games, so unless you sat on your hands for half a gen and didn't play anything you had an $1100 buy-in, plus subscription fees and additional peripherals. I got a 4070 ti super on black friday for $600 which will last me until 2030, maybe even longer of I continue to play in 1440p, and runs games on ultra at 140fps, whereas a ps5 runs games about medium, upscaled from 1080p, at 20fps. The Switch 2 is upscaling from 720p docked on system selling release titles. Where is the lie?

Most if not all PS5 games nowadays are designed with the base model in mind. The PS5 is still very relevant today.
>>715651468
1080 at 20fps is complete and utter horseshit. The ps5 can run games at dynamic or even native 4k/60fps in a few cases. It can also do 1440p/120fps in a lot of competitive games.

>>715676765
>Most if not all PS5 games nowadays are designed with the base model in mind
The following major titles cannot hit consistent 60 fps on the base PS5:
>Baldur's Gate 3
>Resident Evil 2 and 3
>Ratchet and Clank
>Devil May Cry 5
>Elden Ring
>Astro Bot
>Monster Hunter World
>Stellar Blade
>Alan Wake 2
