Game consoles are doing better than ever
For me it was the comfort factor. I used to be a PC gamer after I grew out of PSX in the early 2000s...but lately I just got tired of sitting in front of the same screen I do my work on. I found gaming on the console to be a good context switch to relax and in the comfort of a living room on a sofa vs. hunched over keyboard and mouse.<p>FPS games were weird at first to play on a ps3&#x2F;ps4 controller but I found other constraints helpful such as the lack of text chat which let me just focus on the game.<p>Overall I enjoy the simplification from getting into a match, not have to worry about hardware upgrades (its okay to not have the ultimate graphics), not having to argue in text chats etc...all from the comfort of a couch
