Xbox is great and cheap usually.

But lately I've been drawn to anything I can just pop in and play. Having to install everything kinda takes away from the "magic" of consoles for me (not counting patches and stuff like that). At this point the only difference between them and pc to me is I rarely have to mess with settings on console. It's specialized and I appreciate that enough. Hopefully Nintendo keeps on with some sort of cartridge-like thing in the future cause once they ditch em I'm gonna be pretty hard-pressed to collect newer things.

Whiny baby moment, yes, but if I gotta install something I'll lean more towards pc, almost entirely because of the steam deck tbh. It'll be outdated one day, but I think it's clear enough everybody wants something portable. Sony is a bit confused on what that means though if the rumors of their new handheld is true lol.
