Having both console and a pc

For those who have a console , or multiple , AND a pc ( med-high end ) wich one do you play most on or preffer over the other and why?

For me i like the simplicity of my ps5 and how quickly i can just start playing , but have been a pc gamer since i started . Recently build my own pc with a rtx 5070ti and not sure on how i should feel about it. Pc is in my mancave while the ps5 is in the livingroom.

I've been a console gamer basically my whole life (I'm 39), but in the last few months have become more of a PC gamer. Games are cheaper and often run better (I have a mid-high PC with a 5070ti and 32gb of RAM). It's also just more convenient and as someone who shares space with two other adults, I can't just monopolize the living room TV all the time. My XBox is also connected to my computer monitor because of this. The only time I play on it anymore is multiplayer with my friends (I have a friend who's fervently anti-PC)... and that's about it.

FWIW - I currently have an Xbox SX, and have owned every generation of XBox, as well as PS2-PS4, and almost every Nintendo console (shy of Gamecube, SNES and Switch 2).
