There are both pros and cons to either, PC gaming for starters is expensive considering today’s economic landscape considering handheld PC’s a cheaper alternative. Console gaming (Switch, XBOX, PS) cost less than a full desktop PC (let alone a gaming laptop), there are consoles for indoor use only (PS5) and portable / hybrid (like the Switch). Each format has exclusive titles.


For ownership, I prefer console for their discs and cartridges but that option’s coming to a close with a mostly digital future. I prefer PC now due to emulation along with Steam and GOG offering some amazing deals.
