At this point PC is the winner here with both Microsoft and Sony dumping their exclusives as PC releases as well. Sony is smart having it be delayed a year or two but regardless it will end up on PC with better settings and a huge modding community.

Yeah, aside from the upfront cost difference, what’s the downside of a PC in the gaming world? (My ps4 is crapping out so I’m making the next choice soon)

The main downside I find with PC gaming is not being able to play with friends who use PlayStation (with some exceptions like apex). I can cross play most things with my Xbox friends though quite easily.

I like the versatility of having mouse and keyboard for shooters and strategy/management games, but then having a controller and streaming it to my living room tv for actions games.

As someone entering Pc gaming ~ this. I love my steam deck but it’s a PC at the end of the day and you have to worry about tweaking and a bunch of stuff. The only thing PC has is more games and mods but 50 different launchers is such a headache. I also love the xbox community.

The downside is that your video card by itself may cost about the same as a console. And it's pretty far from a pick-up-and-play experience.
