You actually just helped me realize that consoles would be for the bestNo I won't. Too much time is spend on tweaking, too little on actually gaming. I was always searching for optimal settings, GFX tweaks, fiddling with FPS limiters (RIvatuner), external software, mods, OC-ind my GPU, CPU and RAM.... therefor never really got into the games themselves.
Then I knew: I'm too finicky to be a full-on PC gamer
I want to use a controller while comfortable on my couch playing in 4K HDR on a massive screen
Computers are for browsing, email, word processing, Excel, etc. I want to use a controller while comfortable on my couch playing in 4K HDR on a massive screen instead of mouse and keyboard, sitting at a desk, on a tiny 1080P monitor.
No, I don't like playing games on PC. I prefer the console experience. It wouldn't matter if every Sony exclusive was released Day 1 on PC, I'd still be on console.
What's a "console experience"?
Never will I join PC gaming. The base is stupid and the games are trash. Super expensive waste of money.
99% of the games you play are on PC lol.

I own a PC, Switch X1X and PS4 Pro
I’ll keep my PC and Switch, I’ll also own PS5 and XSX
I love how so many quality games released this generation. I have a backlog too on the PS4 and Xbox One and I don't even own a Switch. I also have over 20 games that still need to buy that I'm interested in before the new consoles hit lolThis is where I'm at. I have two compact HTPCs in my living room along with all my consoles (X1X, X360, PS4 Pro, PS3, Switch).
This poll needs a few more options. I'll be getting a XSX and PS5 for sure. Not a matter of if but when. I usually can't resist and have to get new stuff at launch, but my backlog on all systems is so ridiculous I could actually see myself waiting a year or two on one or both of the new systems until there's a special edition I like or "slim" update.... or a bundle with included exclusives, etc.... I dunno tho the pull of shiny new consoles at launch is strong with me. And with both the XSX and PS5 presumably offering the ability to play prior Gen games uprezzed with better framerates, it'll be highly tempting even if there aren't many/any new exclusives I care about. We shall see.
and it’s not a particularly nice feeling when someone else tells you HOW you should be doing it.
You can't see any need to change because the human eye can only see 30fpsEasy and simple. No research, shopping around, thinking, or effort required. That is, I don't have to figure out what sort of PC gaming machine I need (which components, which company, etc.). I'm not a tech guy, so all of that talk is Greek to me. I don't have to mess with configurations and words whose meaning I don't even know. I don't have to think about which part to upgrade when. I don't have to shop around for the best unit, assuming I can even figure out what that is. I don't have to figure out how to wire it up and fit it under my TV.
I just buy a console, buy a game, and play. Nice and simple. It's how I've played for 20 years. I don't see any need to change. It works for me.

i have a PC and will still keep playing games on it but i'm not going to be spending as much on it anymore. £750 for a gpu? £480 for a CPU? £300 for RAM? £380 for an SSD? £390 for a motherboard? ...shits expensive yo.
i'm just gonna get a next gen console/new TV this year and that'll be me sorted for the next 6-7 years.
Huh?
Play something like Bayonetta and then play game like Order 1886, there is a huuuuge difference between game is running 60FPS and 30FPS. I don't consider 30FPS "unplayable" but you can easily tell the difference. Heck in Yakuza 0 the game itself running 60FPS but the cutscenes runs at 30, which even someone like me who is not that sensitive to FPS can easily tell the difference.You can't see any need to change because the human eye can only see 30fps
People spending close to full price on a digital game you can't sell, trade, give away & forced to keep forever is just lunacy too me. GOG makes it a little easier since it is DRM free but for everything else......NOPE.
Buying a plastic disk is lunacy. We’re talking about bits and bytes.

I know that. I was just mocking the reason why someone couldn't "see" the reason to upgrade to a pc.
