There are both pros and cons to either, PC gaming for starters is expensive considering today's economic landscape considering handheld PC's a cheaper alternative. Console gaming (Switch, XBOX, PS) cost less than a full desktop PC (let alone a gaming laptop), there are consoles for indoor use only (PS5) and portable / hybrid (like the Switch). Each format has exclusive titles.

Pc means my games roll over with every upgrade and often get a big boost. As well as just being able to do everything else a pc does. Also better indie options.

I do love my steam deck though, and I keep my computer plugged into the TV

    The longevity of the games is something that I've had in my mind a lot. I hope I can hold on to the games I own all my life and still play them some day in retirement.

    That is one big reason I like PC, and line buying the games from Gog. Besides playing on any PC in the future, I can keep the offline installers too and hopefully future computers have emulation available to play them as needed too.
