You're right, the automatic downloads have made things much easier. But it's still not anywhere near instant play. I have very fast internet at home but games can get tens of gigabytes big. If I have half an hour to play a quick game, that's a non-starter.
And let's not even talk about selecting hardware for a pre-built PC or building a gaming PC from scratch. That's just too much to ask for, for most people.
Don't get me wrong, I love all that stuff. But I think most people don't. That's the only way I can explain why anyone would pay the premium for the awful and expensive experience that are modern game consoles.

- whynaut 6y agoI don’t think it was the case on PS4/XB1, but on PS5 I can choose to play a game while it updates. Did last night with Sackboy.
