Why would anyone buy a PlayStation? All the games are making their way to PC now. Also the Xbox games. You can emulate the switch games.

Because we want to enjoy gaming in the couch and have no crappy hardware mess, driver and update hell. Just a box that works and can be played from cozy cushions while talking to friends next to us instead of sweat, back pain and eye strain at a desk.

If you like pc gaming that is great but it’s weird that you can’t see there are different types of gamers.

Ironically when I was at a friend who owned an Xbox One, he had to update his crap system way more often.

Oh yes I have an Xbox as well and the GAME updates are annoying as hell but the system OS itself only gets one small update maybe once a month at most. I think the convenience of a console with one box, a power cable and a hdmi cable and with the click of one button to have it up-to-date and a fixed ca 7 year lifetime with one system compared to a pc that you have to build yourself, check compatibility, install the OS, install and update graphics and other drivers with a floating generation meaning having to buy new hardware to match new games - it's just a different thing.

Some love the building and updating part of a pc though, that's great for them.
