Games are optimized for controllers.
Some gamers swear by the keyboard and mouse, but it's clear that video games were meant to be played with a controller. There's a reason why the most influential video game product — the Nintendo Entertainment System — was a console with a controller. If the keyboard and mouse were really superior, wouldn't one of the eight generations of consoles have come with those instead of gamepads?
Consoles are built for relaxation.
Want to play games on your TV from your couch? That's what consoles are for. Sure, you can hook a PC up to a TV, but don't pretend like that process is particularly streamlined. Even PCs with HDMI ports need to get relocated from the desk to the living room, and that's a hassle you'll never have to deal with when it comes to consoles.
Console gaming equals easy online multiplayer.
Automatic updates!
Two words: console exclusives.
Want to play the latest Mario game? You'd better have a Nintendo console. The same goes for Uncharted on Sony's PlayStation consoles and almost every installment of the Halo franchise on Microsoft's Xbox consoles. If you're PC-only, you're pretty much out of luck. You can only emulate so many console classics, and they'll probably be buggy as hell. What Drives You?
Why do you think consoles are better than PCs? If you're interested in a good laugh, check out Josh Smith's hilarious "5 Reasons PC Gaming is Better Than Console Gaming" article.

My input....
You realise you can use a controller on PC.
You can use controllers and build a desktop pc that is very small... Heck even a laptop certainly. You sayin' console gamers dont need to move their precious HDMI cable and plug them in as well?!?! ARE YOU LAZY?
You are you saying you dont like choices? You can do them ALL on STEAM with EASE. WITHOUT swapping DISCS.
Automatic Updates? doesnt Steam do that for me? ROFL.
5. Console Exclusives??? you KIDDING? I bet when he mention ours? you'll ignore it and say thats stupid it isnt AAA... T_T FYI IF you justify your console for a few game because of; LOOK WAHT I GOT VS you GOT; you gotta re-evaluate the purpose of getting your machine....
3. Maybe people like choices? You know consoles do have hackers as well?
I think these articles are clickbaits and are in the attempt of media brainwashing.

(Wow the author left out Exclusives and Automatic Updates... wow...) Its like they think PC exclusives are another skill due to consoles having cinematic storytelling.
COOL he acknowledges his oppenent author's fault; "Rubin's totally misguided article"

Howdy r/Games. A new generation of consoles is kicking off and to celebrate we will be creating a series of megathreads for specific topics related to each console's launch. We will keep this thread stickied for the coming days as a hub for all of the discussions we create (since reddit has restrictions for how many threads can be stickied at once). We will have user impression threads, technical issue threads, launch hype threads and much more. We are excited for the launches and a lot of us will be gaming it up - if we let anything slip through the cracks give us a shout in modmail, if you'd like to hangout and chat with some of the r/Games users or moderators, we have a Discord server you can jump into.
