Gaming

I can't say my experience playing PC games comes even close to that.

1. My PC is already on - it's a multipurpose machine, so I was already using it for something else.
2. Steam opens on startup, no need to open it.
3. Steam auto-updates the game in the background. No need to wait.
4. I don't think I've ever needed to update a driver to play a game. Also, regularly updating most drivers is actually not recommended, and you should only really be updating them if something's broken. Graphics card drivers you might want to update now and then, but even then it's rare that a graphics card driver makes a game suddenly playable. This seems comparable to firmware updates for consoles, although the last two consoles I used were a Switch and I think a PS3 so my memory's a bit hazy there.
5. Yes, third party launchers are obnoxious. It still only takes maybe 10 seconds at most to get most games opened though, from my experience. Not all games use third party launchers either, but sadly a lot of the bigger games do.
6. Being able to continue easily where you left off does seem like a benefit consoles have. It'd be interesting to see that on PC, although I have yet to find a need for it since you can save practically anywhere in most games anyway, with the exception of cutscenes and tutorials I guess.

It takes me maybe 10-20 seconds to get most games that I play open on my machine, excluding the obnoxious splash screens games have when you open them which is the reason I think #6 might be a compelling argument. With the splash screens, it's easily 2-3 minutes because more than half of that is sitting there staring at some stupid brand logos.

Of course, I already have a PC for other reasons, and the PC's hardware is more than capable of playing games (moreso than most consumer gaming consoles at least, if not all), so I've never really felt like there was much reason to get a console, with the exception of a Switch since it's a handheld. There's already an enormous catalogue of games to play on PC, so it's not like I'm missing out on much. Also, I might be a bit unique in that I'm using my PC all the time anyway. For someone who doesn't use a PC very much, I could see a console being more appealing due to it being a dedicated gaming device.
