Consoles are the rich man's platform these days. If you have a bit of technical know-how, it's not hard to find a cheap old PC and get some games running on it.

Weren't they always?

When I grew up, the surgeon's kid had an Xbox, the software engineer's kid had a PS, and everyone else pirated PC games or got them from the bargain bin.

I got the whole Blitzkrieg Anthology for the equivalent of 5 EUR

I think the idea was consoles were the cheap upfront alternative to gaming and you paid a premium for games... Now it's reduced to ease of use and it just works.
