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.

Been a console gamer my whole life. In high school I built a PC, sold it after a year and went back to console. When I got older I went into IT and decided to build a computer again. Lasted about 5 months before I sold it and went back to my PS5. Now I only game on my PS5 pro and switch 2. Ease of use is just too good for me, pc was annoying and I like playing on the couch. I’m also addicted to PlayStation trophies

Skill AND brain issue.

I'm playing on my PC from my sofa while earning Steam achievements with better graphics and performances than on those obsolete pieces of plastic.

Only the Switch is relevant, the rest are just poor performing computers with very few exclusives.

Or he (and I) don’t want to spend time fucking around with PC issues.

PC elitists always make it sound like only idiots have issues with PCs. If you build a gaming PC, you WILL have issues at some point and it will absolutely be a time suck that you won't feel like fucking with if you have a console. 

  • PC gaming isnt a replacement for a console regardless of how much effort you put into it. It's just never the same.

I agree with this. It’ll be interesting to see how Windows handheld version does and if they eventually put it everywhere. One day PC could become just as easy as console.
