Or games you just can't play anymore unless you have an old working console. If you want to play Oblivion again you better hope your console still works.

That's my biggest gripe with consoles. Even if you have a working console, and even if you have a TV that can display composite, It's not going to look amazing.

Meanwhile, there are mods on PC to make Oblivion 4K.

Or even if you take the performance of consoles. There are a lot of PS3 and PS4 games that are poorly optimized, and they dip below 10 frames per second often.

I mean hell, Xenia emulation gets better frames in RDR1 than Xbox 360 or PS3. In fact, RDR1 runs like shit on those consoles, getting an average of something like 20fps.

Or Starfield capped at 30 fps and you can't fiddle with settings to get 60 or more. It's like you don't own the damn thing and traded freedom for convenience.
