What is the definition of a console then? At this point it’s just a pc that runs a locked down OS. Back 20 years ago the distinction was just obvious.

- bigcityslider 4mo agoLocked down OS and hardware, or not usable for general compute for some other reason. 20 years ago you could have a gaming PC with discs like a console, but again the console was locked down.
- Gigachad 4mo agoThis just illustrates the article point. We have come to the point where a console is just a worse less useful version of a PC. Steam OS will replicate the nice TV UX of consoles but not be locked down.
- bigcityslider 4mo agoMaybe, idk, no horse in this race. My newest console is a GameCube, and my Mac can run approximately 2 games. Just saying there's a delineation between PC and console.
