That’s a small computer my guy

No, it isn’t, in practice. Xbox and PS5 have more in common with my iPhone than my desktop PC or NAS when it comes to being able to do what I want with it.

As far as how most people use their computers there is little difference.

I don't use my PS5 to surf the web. I know you can use it to watch movies and stuff, but I don't use it for that either.
At best, it depends on what kind of user most of the console owners are.

The steam deck is also a small PC, just like the consoles and was priced perfectly for success

None of those consoles would directly boot into desktop Linux with just a few button presses.

Having more features and flexibility than other consoles doesn’t take away its main function and selling point.
