They are more or less the same piece of hardware with different software in it. There are no reasons a console wouldn't do the same things that a PC does other than the devs put limits on what you can do with these. Consoles are crap made for stealing kids money
But it does seem to have better hardware for the price which they usually get back from games so unless u buy a lot of games it’s probably a cheaper option. That said I am strictly a pc gamer playing indie titles so take it with a grain of salt.
It’s also not cheaper when you consider the cost and limited choice of console games compared to the almost limitless choice of things to play on a PC, many of which are free or can often be heavily discounted. Also I hear your can use your PC for other things too!
Steam deck for sure. Being on Linux is just the icing on the cake. I only play on the deck now and take it with me when I travel. I also use it to watch stuff from. I also love that valve are not rushing another model. There are many years left in the device. Also for emulation it just knocks it out of the park.
I’ve been a playstation fan, right up until this year when I moved to the Switch. I travel for work a lot and decided to move to a portable, durable game system. Loving it so far, and I was pleasantly surpised at the number of games available.
My only complaints are not being able to back saves up to an SD card, and the controllers are a touch smaller than I would like but overall I’m very happy.
Not being able to back up saves on an SD card is so annoying and just is just such a backwards thinking move if you ask me. I hate that about the switch. Makes me wish I had a hacked switch so I could back up my saves.
If we are talking strictly console, then the xbox360 is my all time favorite console and preferred console, especially since my absolute favorite controller goes to them as well.
Otherwise, PC is just more convenient for the fact I can use a 3rd party 360 controller and play console games via dedicated emulators or RetroArch cores.
I have a few other consoles, but my desktop and 360 are most definitely my picks for what I’d use if given the choice.
If I had a hacked switch and my computer had better specs to run pokemon violet at even close to 30 frames per second, you bet I’d just back up my games onto my desktop and play them on it using my 3rd party 360 controller.
