• I like the convenience of a console where updates are a breeze (overblown I know but still)
• I like playing on a TV/couch because I loathe sitting at a desk to play games
• I don't care for the tinkering of graphics settings (hate that it seems to be coming to consoles, even if it's just a selection between two settings) and the cost of getting the best graphics or a higher framerate is the epitome of diminishing returns
• Not a fan of RTS, MMO, MOBA, or any PC specific genre with the exception of first-person immersive sims (which have come to console since Bioshock)
• They cost the same in the long run. Let's look at this gen. A PC for the price of a launch PS4 ($400) and 7 years of PS+ ($420) would last you the same length of a console generation in terms of playing the latest games at mid-high settings. The argument against this is Steam sales, option for piracy, and key resellers saving you more, but I'm talking strictly hardware and the ability to play games online.
• While emulation and the ability to play old games on PC exists and is amazing, I'd rather pay for a remaster or re-release than struggle to get an old game to run.
