PC’s can be plugged into tv montiors. There is emulators, controllers, like you said modding. Then you can sync with steam deck and play on the go.
I know someone who actually hooked his computer to a massive tv monitor, plays video games on it, and watches movies from the same computer.
Also, does PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox charge for online? Consoles would be cool if they didn’t charge for online, and had a web browser, and basically the functionality of a computer.

Do you really think you’re telling me something I don’t already know? Do you think I’m that stupid? Seriously? Have some respect for my intelligence. Consoles are better at the job of being an easy, affordable, simple-to-use solution that just works. They have physical media (at least the PS5 does) for releases that can still be traded and it’s just simple. I don’t want to have to deal with Linux or Windows when I’m trying to play a racing game with my friends in the living room. I don’t want to have to fight with bluetooth for the controllers or anything like that. You can do whatever you want with PC, yes, and consoles are little more than PCs with special software (PS5 uses some sort of BSD fork, Nintendo uses Android lately, and Xbox is using something Windows-based) but it’s the curated simple easy-to-use experience that I’m after. When I’m playing RTS or MMO games I’m using PC, for sure. But for everything else if I can’t enjoy it on PS5 then I need a different hobby.
