    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.

        That doesn’t make the Xbox Series X/S or a PlayStation 5 a computer.
