What's supppsed to be the advantage of a console over a computer + a compatible controler again?
There is a ridiculously large catalogue of good games that can now run on a sub-$1000 dollars laptop with integrated graphics. Either free of the DRM cancer, or patched free of it.
Also, I haven't done PC gaming in years but it used to be that even if your machine matched or exceeded the specs for a certain game you often had to fuck around with settings to get it to work anyway. I was a PC gamer from the days of DOS through the early 2000s, and games that mysteriously wouldn't work were a problem the whole time.
The PS5 has no exclusives, though. All the games are remakes, HD ports, etc. They all get ported to PC after a while, anyways. There is absolutely no reason to buy one.
It had them. It failed so badly they ended up porting them to recuperate some of the losses on the games. Much like Nintendo did with most of the WiiU games.
Which further enforces the point of not having a single reason to own one.
Is this a real question? Consoles are way cheaper than computers, and games actually work on them. PC gamers are constantly bitching about bad ports because games are made for consoles and ported to PC.

Stop deliberately making your products defective.
I have a Switch for Nintendo exclusives and portability. Everything else goes on PC.
Console exclusives.

that is one of the awesome things about PC gaming though. frustration and knowledge barriers that keep console gamers out

The question was about consoles in general:
I don't own a PS5 or know anything about their games. As another poster pointed out, Nintendo has plenty of exclusives.
That guy's not exaggerating about it not having any games. Nintendo's the only console that has real exclusives now.

Considering every exclusive is a carrier for The Message, I personally find it very hard to get excited about any console exclusive.
It's for the average dumbass to consoom more crap. Consoles were always dumbed down computers that could reach mass Market through ease of use.
The market for consoles is for people to hit the start button and play.
