Welcome! 🙌
Consoles have a lot fewer exclusives nowadays, so if you have a powerful PC (and can connect it to your TV) you might not need one.

this was actually all sparked by me hooking up my old desktop to my TV last night to watch TLoU on DVD and being unable to get the image to display at full res 😅 I usually use my ps4 but I've somehow lost the power cable, so naturally a new console as a glorified DVD player is the way to go

I've always tried to keep games on a console to try to separate work from fun- the classic problem with working in the games space- but now work is also asking me to play games so... I am very lost

I see! I would have run into the same if it wasn't for the lockdowns turning my own desktop into my work desktop.

Still, if you want to dip your toe into current games, that might be a cheaper way to do so.

That said, I also haven't bought a current gen console.
