The original pitch was simple and genuinely good. Bring real PC gaming into the living room, skip the tower, skip the build, price it somewhere around $700-800 and let people who never considered PC gaming finally have a taste.
In my opinion, the only thing that will save Playstation and Xbox are exclusive titles or maybe some novel type of input device (similar to Nintendo, which is why they are still successful)
the advantage of the console is that you can go to your local library. some of us don’t like piracy. some of us (and i know this sounds ridiculous) can’t risk it for professional reasons. like there’s urban legend in grad schools about this one time this dude lost his licensure for hopping a turnstile in NYC and pleading guilty it’s ridiculous.
I never thought about this, it is a good reminder to be cautious when speaking about it in real life. I’m pretty open about piracy in my environment. Even at work, no one really cares so far. Accounting job.
The best part is it feels like blockbuster. And at least at mine you take the case up to the video game/librarians chair desk and get to gossip with the librarians about how the local cat colonies are doing and how your godchildren have been

Oh, I didn’t think of this part, and you are right about the library.
