    I sit down, push one button on my Xbox controller to turn it on and another once more to play a game.

    It is just a world easier to play a game on a console than it is on a PC. I’m sure we can be objective about this.

      It’s really not objectively worlds easier though. With a smart setup, it’s a difference of literally 1-2 taps on my phone screen and then I put my phone down beside me and grab my wireless controller and the rest of the experience is identical, only it has all the benefits of a PC (unlimited fps, zero ads, no reliance on subscription services, streaming services, etc). For 90% of end users yeah it’s easier because they think you have to sit at a desk with a wired mouse and keyboard to interface with desktop PC hardware, but that’s a plebian problem tbh.
