The reasons to own one are that they’re cheaper, plug and play, you can buy and trade physical games, and the exclusive games

The reason I'd buy another console is because of the controller environment.

I enjoy shooting games. I enjoy sitting on my couch.

Yet if I play on my PC with a controller it's going to be an awful experience.

I don't want to sit at my desk with proper posture.

I just want to relax and have fun. Console gives me that.

I use to be big into Overwatch. The difference between PC and Console is huge in that game, the whole vibe of the game changes. Personally I enjoy the chaotic nature of less precise aiming. Creates interesting scenarios where you have to adapt and overcome. I'd hate it if every game was "I hope our sniper can point and click their sniper first"
