That's baloney. If someone is remotely interested in strategy games for example (MMOs, Real time strategy or Civ like complex games) they are better run on PCs because of keyboard and mouse. There is also the consumer who has the money to splurge out on a high end GPU and wants to run games at high refresh 4K. And there are old dinosaurs like me who could never get used to controllers, and I tried. Got an Xbox controller for my PC for Elden Ring, couldn't get used to it, switched back to KB/Mouse, finished game easy.
- yunohn 4y agoGP means hardware, you’re talking about peripherals. Would you reconsider if you could connect a keyboard/mouse to a PS/Xbox and play strategy games? I’d love to have just 1 gaming box, that can do everything!

I guess if good strategy games come out on XBox/PS5 and they support regularly KB/Mouse I might get a console. Then again, lack of KB/Mouse is just one of my gripes. No modding and a general purpose computer locked down to do a few things make consoles useless for me. On my PC I can do whatever I want.
- yunohn 4y agoThis post and thread are discussing console exclusives - that’s why I’m saying solely a PC isn’t enough.
