I've only played two of them and they worked just the same as any other game. You are putting words into my mouth now, I refuted every 'hoop' you listed, I never said 'just deal with it'.

I could build a pc, give it to anyone and it would work in the same vein as a console. What is the point you are trying to make? That PCs have loads of issues? The consoles are flawless? Make sense.

They sell tens of millions.

You are supposed to hear lossless audio.

I have no idea what you just said.

Most games you just click play and they work. You don't need to install drivers or programs or whatever you think everytime at all.

If they release a dodgy patch or one you don't like, you can just revert it. On console you are stuck with whatever they give you.

Don't like a game after a couple hours? Doesn't work correctly? Refund it.

Mainly its linux that will have issues you have to navigate and that is probably where most of the technical questions you come across root from. If you have Windows then 99% of games will just work as you expect.

Also Nintendo: They are $70. Want an old game? Also $70. Sales? What are those?

Consoles are such a scam when you think about it, but their low barrier to entry carries them (along with the marketing of course).

I kinda like laughing at the US for measuring things in AR15s though.

What's the point of consoles getting more powerful? Shouldn't affordability be the main target at this point?

Their main target audience is couch gaming on TVs, which are usually only 60Hz, something the PS5 and XSX can do comfortably.

Yeah, but aint nobody got time for that. Just hit the spacebar.

You said it yourself, "a comma separates stuff that belongs together". The integers. I can type 27000 and its valid, I can space them integers with a comma 27,000 they belong together. Decimals are different to integers, so they are marked with a period, like the end of a sentence (of integers).

You can argue either way honestly, but more of the world use periods for decimal notation. So it would make more sense if we just adopted that (never going to happen though).

Give it another 8 years of development Sony, maybe it'll be worth playing that time around.

A comma it is then :D

If we are being pedantic, technically you should use a space to separate the thousands (e.g. $27 000), as this avoids the ambiguity.

If we ignore that and only focus on comma (,) and period (.) decimal notations, then period for decimals would win out, as the larger majority of the world population use it. So $27,000.00 would be the correct way.

But until the whole world agrees on one, we are stuck with multiple, so you can just rub your two brain cells together and realise that the 3 trailing zeroes probably mean it is in the thousands (along with the rest of the context).

(no shade at the original comment, which was clearly tongue in cheek, idk why it is downvoted lol it was funny)
