It's not unpopular. The market speaks for itself since Nintendo made premium gaming mainstream with the Famicom. It's the popular opinion/choice. That has not changed. Parties with interests in creating a different perception have tried to change this perception and clearly made inroads in discourse but the dominant platforms are still home-consoles, and may it hold true for as long as it can.Dedicated gaming hardware (i.e.) consoles is a superior method for people to play / enjoy their games.
-Better optimization
-more efficient use of components and power
-faster to turn on and get to playing a game
-no shader compiling issues
-architecture built around gaming.... not word processing / spreadsheets etc. etc.
-console model allows business flexibility.... if something is wrong the company that makes the console can change course (PC cannot change course due to so many companies being involved)
-1st party studios and exclusives
-accessibility both in terms of being available in a range of stores and online and needing little to no setup and then in terms of controllers for those with disabilities and other in game options.
-price of hardware is subsidized or at least at cost with consoles, while every component manufacturer on PC needs to make money, so you are being fleeced several times over when you buy a PC.
-Puts focus on games and gaming, not hardware and performance...... which shows console is for gamers more than PC. PC is for technologists and performance benchmarkers.... they always emphasize how little they pay for games, which shows they value gaming far less than real gamers.
-Cheating is rampant on PC and gaming online on console is much fairer in 99% of cases.
-Most games release in a mess on PC with stuttering, reduced performance that negates all the hardware investment (Denuvo) and developers will never get the type of performance you are paying for out of high end GPU's.
-Pirating is rampant and ruining gaming, destroying developers and cheating them further out of the compensation they deserve for many years work.
-RGB lighting while claiming PC gaming is for adults and consoles are toys is highly ironic. The parts come from the same factories.
And a lot more....
