List off what a console company could do that would make you want to spend money on a console.
Not fully replace your PC, just buy a console and play it.

I mean..... i feel ya.
But Physically owning games was kinda amazing. If Sony made a PSP3 with Blu-rayUMDs I can't say I'd be against it....

But it's hard to compete against a steam deck
>>
>>736944842
I physically own all my PC games.
I don't use steam or any other DMR "service".
All my game data is physically stored in my 30 TB NAS server with redundancy backups and also mods and fixes. The internet can literally go out today and I'll be able to play my entire collection of thousands of games forever.

A traditional console is completely pointless. What I want is the return of pocket sized handhelds like the DS and PSP.

I haven't bought a console since they made you have to pay a subscription to use the internet connection that you already pay for.
What a load of horseshit.

too many consoles never had internet. it was never needed

The average console guy literally can't conceive of this. They migrate from generation to generation like locust swarms, feasting only on what's offered but consuming it voraciously.
The idea that not only do you not have to abandon the previous generation once the new one is introduced, but you can in fact continue to enjoy all of them forever, for as long as you want, independant of which machine you're currently using, is just too difficult to imagine thanks to all the conditioning they've undergone.
PC is definitely full of retards and assholes, but comparing them to console users is like comparing a bar full of shitty drunks to the cult of white-robed, emaciated vegan baldies down the block. The drunk can wave a beer and a plate of wings in front of them, and their minds just 404.

Having my car paid off, a house, x2 the income, 5 digits in the bank at least.

>Affordable price
>Compatible with all peripherals
>Complete backwards compatibility and emulation
>No restrictions on who can make or sell games on the platform
>No restrictions on modding
>Graphics options for all games so you can prioritize FPS
>No online subscription
Even disregarding the fact that I need a PC anyways for all the other stuff in my life, PC simply has a gargantuan amount of purely gaming related shit compared to a single console. My potato with GTX970 is getting old so I need to buy something new at some point, but I see no reason to get a new console even if it's cheaper than a gaming rig when all I'm getting is a handful of exclusives and remakes.
>>
Exclusives that are actually fun and not over the shoulder moviegaems
Faithfully translated uncensored Nip games
No paid online, I should be able to play the games I paid and be able to play online at a base. I pay for my internet not the console maker.
Controllers that don't have insanely fast stick drift
>>
I have consoles, but I hate them. The biggest problem is a lack of forwards compatibility.

>can't play ps1 games on my Ps5
>can't play 3ds/WiiU games on my switch

It's so anti-consumer. Meanwhile I can install my disk of Starcraft and Brood war from the late 90s and it'll still work on my modern PC. I don't even need that POS remaster they released. the same cannot be said of consoles.
>>
>>736947094
I kinda feel the same honestly.
Like a PSP3 that had a blueray UMD would make me happy.
PSP was super comfy.
Add a connection that upscales to 2k resolution to any TV and it'd be pretty cool.
And with the poor Batery life on most handhelds and the needs for a powerbank being the norm... I dunno so long as it has exclusives and decent sale prices on 3rd party games and you got a solid console.

Handheld hybrids are the future of console gaming in my opinion.

Nothing. Seriously. PC is so great because cansoles cant do half the shit a PC can.

But I do physically own my games. If you want to prove me wrong, take my 2TB HDD out of my hand. Go on.

carambits are trash
>>
>>736944107
Good exclusives, that's literally it. Consoles have no other reason to exist anymore, not unless they bring back cool gimmicks and/or handhelds.
>>
>>736955953
they exist because they work out of the box. No need for tinkering or messing with the settings. The modern PC pleb can't even assemble their own rig so it's pointless
>>
>>736956038
>tinkering or messing with settings is hard
Are you genuinely retarded?
>>
>>736944107
It would be okay if I could play online games and play old games on the go without so much hassle
>>
>>736956080
can you read?
>>
>>736956169
The last time I needed to "tinker or mess with settings" was in 1992. You are genuinely too retarded to use a PC.
>>
>>736956038
It's always funny to see consoletards argue for LESS control because they're so braindead
>It's all pointless anyway! PCplebs cant assemble rigs either
Fucking lmao. This is why you got filtered and are stuck on console.
>>
>>736956236
congrats on your 1992 rig then you retard. Why bother going into pc gaming if you're never upgrading hardware? You are genuinely too retarded to use a PC.

pc frauds still use windows so you don't really control anything

Cope, seethe, etc etc.
>>
>>736956495
You need to fuck with bios literally once and then never again unless you're a fucking retard. Keep digging that hole, jam boy.
>>
>>736956545
You do it every time to build a new rig you pretender. You are genuinely too retarded to use a PC.
>>
>>736956613
It takes less time to correct the bios settings than it does to set up a new console. Kill your parents, any siblings, and then yourself.
>>
>>736955297
Nice graphics, a battery that will last a day out and build quality that'll last are all I really need put of a dedicated handheld.
>>
>>736956695
Whoa so easy but you can't do it. Just buy an ipad you complete fraud. Kill your parents, any siblings, and then yourself.

Nothing.
These corporations have continuously and smugly spat in the face of their longtime fans to pursue DEIbux and maximize profits, all while raping everything with censorship and idpol cancer.
They don't deserve anymore chances, they've already had second, third, fourth, etc.
It would be better for the overall health of the medium if console companies died off completely. I don't care if they suddenly 180 and go "le heckin' based gaming for real gamers!" shit again, it's too late. The bridges are burned for anyone that isn't a hopeless consoomer and who has standards.
Other people need to grow up and realize this shit. It's only going to continue festering if you keep enabling this retardation because "B-B-BUT I NEED MORE OF [game series name] IN THE FUTURE NOOOOOOOO".
No good art comes from zombifying shit and keeping it on life support. Grow up and learn to let things go and die, they've needed to be put down years ago.
>>
>>736944107
Exclusives are the only possible reason, but even that probably won't be enough. I haven't seen any games in a while that look exciting enough to make me buy a whole console for them.
>>
>>736956712
You're going to be waiting a while then, no handheld with "nice graphics" has a battery that'll last for an entire day of playing.
Probably never will, either, since retards keep pushing retarded shit like gay tracing that tanks performance, since we've hit the point of diminishing returns for graphical fidelity/level of detail.
>>
>>736944107
