Please don’t do this to me. The whole point of a console is convenience, and it’s not like you had to test for multiple platforms. You control the hardware.

- They have what, 3 variants of the console? Regular, Slim, Pro?
  
  Meanwhile on PC...

  No. They have 1 model with 2 cases. They use the same internal components, but the slim has a more compact cooling solution.
  
  Only difference specs-wise is that the Slim has a ~1 TB SSD compared to the ~850 GB SSD

  They only have 2 currently.
  
  Pro isn't out yet.

  Im a pc user, and the pc world is still a lot more complex than just "regular, slim and pro" versions. Different hardware and combinations males it a lot more complex.
  You could say "low, medium and high end pc" but that means nothing as even a medium pc could have different cpu's, gpu's or even ram timings...
  
  But yes, the different console versions is stupid

  Microsoft and Sony? I mean, I get it. All major corporations are fucking monsters. But…sometimes giving those particular companies no money is pretty damn hard. Money goes into their pockets from more places than you’d expect. Also, what, are you gonna suggest some ethical indie console?

  So you built your own cross compatible gaming system?

  Same. I love my PS5 and have had almost no issues at all with it. I also love my PC but I use them for different purposes.

- The last console I owned was a megadrive and I still don't feel I ever missed out on anything at all.

Oh look, someone at Sony decided to update the AMD graphics drivers included without first testing every combination to find the specific driver that actually works.....
