  That would be the case for techy people like us, but growing number of people cant handle anything more complicated than a phone OS these days that I think consoles will continue to have a purpose.

    I find SteamOS to be as un-complicated as any other modern console tbh.

      The complicated bit isn’t the OS, it’s installing it. A console comes preloaded with an OS. That’s what sets us apart from non-techy people.

        Ah ok, yeah. I expect there to be SteamOS/Bazzite boxes you can just purchase.

    By the numbers, that demographic appears to be shrinking, not growing. PC has grown while consoles have shrunk.

  Yay! Make sure to check out some of the cool couch gaming indies - Enter the Gungeon and Duck Game are some of my favorites.
