I’d recommend just getting a steam deck if you don’t just want to get a PC. The variety of indie titles and the lower cost just beats any of the standard consoles.
A PC is even better, but the cost of the initial hardware is probably higher. But you can’t beat the price of the games or the variety of games available. And the PC won’t expire the way modern online consoles do.
I have a PS3 that won’t play movies from disc anymore because its online service is down or something. Ridiculous.
And all ps5 games seem to be getting ported, and the Xbox app has all Xbox exclusives. It’s the console that gets all the games. And emulates everything else!
I knew I’d like the Steam Deck from the start, but I didn’t know I’d like it as much as I do. A few weeks ago I was at a cottage and woke up early for no damn reason. Made some coffee, sat on the deck, watched the sun rise while playing Blasphemous on my Deck.
The freedom and emulation options take an already great device and turn it into one of the best purchases I’ve made since the Gamecube. Speaking of which, Custom Robo is pretty good on the Deck :)
A Steam Deck allows you to play all titles you missed out on. All without requiring a monthly fee. The track pads also makes for a good experience if you wanna try an fps game. You can’t get more bang for your buck with anything else.
If you tell what functionality are you worry about we might be able to iron that out as well.
Yeah with the steam deck being as amazing as it is, I don’t see the point of consoles. I can play anything from Pajama Sam to Red Dead 2 on that thing.
The point of consoles is exclusives. I can’t legally play Zelda without a Switch, for example. If that’s not important to you (it’s not to me), the Steam Deck is fantastic.

Go with the Deck. It’s a lovely piece of hardware. Either her the cheapest one or the middle one.
