The only reason at all to own a console at this point in time is the exclusives and which console your friends have, which is influenced by exclusives.
It's also a cheaper/easier point of entry, though I think we're rapidly heading to a future where all gaming is done on something that's just a PC, whether that's Windows, something that's good at hiding that it's just Windows, SteamOS, or something else.
Kind of? A steam deck is around the same price and is very easy to dock to a TV and runs excellently
But it doesn't run Alan Wake 2 at 4K. The Steam Deck is great value, but a console gets way better bang for your buck when output to a television, and at around the same price. Gaming PCs need to close that gap.
Ah, welcome time traveller. Can you take me back to 2008 with you? It was so much nicer there.
Seriously, every multiplayer game I've played the last few years has cross-platform play, both them and Sony have been making PC ports for ages and the reason I own a Series X is that it's quietly the best set-top media player out there, price-to-performance, and a cheap, convenient platform to play games on a TV.
I mean, if this is a prelude to them no longer making hardware I'd be bummed out, but not for those reasons.
