Edit: I forgot that I found my old DS in storage awhile back and it turned on immediately still had battery charge in it. Could not believe that shit. Still can’t.
Consoles are just specialized computers but they are made with longevity in mind.
Seriously. I have some DDR3 RAM and a motherboard with processor laying around somewhere that I recently was considering digging out to make a second computer out of as a home storage/media server/pihole analogue, and I bet I could still get low quality settings on most recent games to play nicely with whatever parts I can scrabble together.
You won’t believe how much time I can get out of a PC, if I wanted to. Backwards compatibility plus frequent sales, plus emulators and mods.
There’s a bunch of reasons why someone might prefer one over the other, but longevity absolutely goes to PC, no question.
Idk man I still play my PS3 online to this day.
Not kidding. It has held up quite well.
