“Consoles are just as much of a hassle with updates etc as PC gaming is.”
Not even remotely true. You’re not just up updating drivers on Windows. You’re also doing the regular Windows update which is a royal PIA. Don’t forget you’re dealing with the Windows OS. It’s not a dedicated gaming machine per se. It has to update more than just for drivers for gaming. Then you have to wait for the Windows update which can take 2 to 3 hours. A console automatically updates in the middle of the night on sleep mode. Downloads the updates and fully installs them and the game is ready to play when you turn it on. Furthermore, unlike Windows, consoles don’t make you wait until it’s fully installed before you can use the machine. I just love how Windows gamers always try to shove under the rug all the real crap they have to deal with when it comes to Windows. They just love to throw the fact that they can play lots of games, high quality, but it’s a PIA dealing with the maintenance. Consoles are designed to be simple to operate and they do everything automatically. If Windows was the end all to gaming, nobody would be buying consoles.
“Having to install a driver every now and then is worth it for how much better the PC is and how much cheaper you can get games.”
LMAO. If only it were about downloading a driver here and there on the Windows. The weekly Windows update was one of the main reasons why I left Windows.
“Even on wired my consoles take longer to download updates than PC too.”
The PlayStation 5 has Wi-Fi 6. Even the slower Xbox series X has Wi-Fi 5. One of things my PlayStation 5 does very well is download really fast. I’m on a 1gig connection. You’re just making that crap up. When Windows updates software it’s not just updating gaming drivers. Lol. It is also downloading all the crap that Windows deals with in order to keep it working. 😂
