When I say “true” console, I’m not speaking about the architecture. As said a true console is locked down in the operating system and eco system. What makes a PC a PC is the open platform and not depending on a single hardware manufacturer and eco system.

I know that you can install Linux and Steam on Playstation 5 and play Steam games native without emulation, because its just PC hardware. Also that’s one of the reasons why on PC we don’t need to emulate everything from the PS5, because it can just run most of the CPU directly.
