You’re kidding yourself. Look at the history of which consoles won their gens.

PCs play games. consoles don't have a "history" beyond "shitty alternative" as far as i know.

no, but i always built my own desktops and changed out parts slowly over time. i'm solidly a millennial, not gen x'er, if that changes anything.

Are console wars still a thing? Seems everyone has moved onto PC and maybe keep around a Switch for Nintendo games.

Most of us didn’t think this shit through and thought there’d be more exclusives than there are.

Also in 2016 Reddit was full of “Nintendo should go third party 😏” posts. Things change.

In actual reality even if Losers on the internet think it’s Bad and even if zoomers don’t know what it is, FF7R was a triumph imo and is more exclusive than RE4 ever was. If I wanted to play msft published games I guess I’d be better off with a PC but they all suck imo.

I'm somewhat knowledgeable of the 1st Great Console War, Atari vs Intellivision. I've been mostly out of the loop since then.
