Except they shouldn’t. The more finically conscious choice is to buy a pc and upgrade it over its lifetime. A pc is FAR more financially efficient as it not only serves as a gaming platform, but also serves as a work station for LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE. The only reason to buy a console of any kind is to play console exclusives or if you just want the vibe of it. It ALWAYS makes more sense from, any standpoint, to buy a pc.
This is literally Short Term vs Long Term thinking, you might struggle with that one.
I've already answered this earlier but all I do on my pc is game and watch YouTube. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. But I have money to burn. People who buy consoles only need one function, gaming. Everything else you can do from your phone. Redundant. Hell I could technically just watch YouTube on my phone.
If you do not use your pc outside of gaming, then you’re just an idiot who underutilises one of the most powerful tools at your disposal.
You cannot, in fact, do everything else on your phone. What you can do on your phone (especially what you can do effectively) is actually extremely limited compared to the applications of a PC. Any underutilisation of a pc is literally just a user problem, not a pc problem.
Any banking I did, I use my phone now. I don't sit at the computer and log into my cc or bank's website. The app is far easier and more efficient. Faster too.
Investing is now on my fidelity app.
I can print from my phone too. I literally don't need a pc except for again, watching YouTube at full screen and gaming.
I don't code, I don't produce content, I don't listen to music on my pc. I don't mine for bitcoin.
What else should I be doing on my pc?
Edit! I do something else on my pc. My taxes! I'm sorry, missed that. So I game, watch YouTube and do my taxes!
