Console gaming has its benefits over PC gaming and often times is better.

They definitely both have pros and cons. After sitting in front of a computer all day for work, sometimes I just wanna sit on the couch and play some Spiderman without having to deal with connecting my gaming desktop to the big screen.

Not "often" but yes

Fair, for the price you have gotten decent value over the years. You're right in that your opinion might not be popular here, considering all the replies you got.

I'm through with vendor lock-in so console gaming isn't for me, but there are indeed some upsides.

This is only maybe true for convenience, maybe, but as far as cost, experience and quality, nope.

I mean, if console is jailbroken then yes, it has most of the benefits, but if not then most of the world can buy only few games in month at most, and some can't buy at all, gamepass is a lifesaver in that sense, you can buy it for 50$ per year if you buy from resellers
