New consoles will be here come the holidays, and with them we expect the usual flagship exclusives from Microsoft and Sony. But 'exclusive' is an increasingly hazy word these days: Xbox and Windows 10 increasingly share the same library, and even some former PlayStation exclusives have made their way to PC, as we wrote about last month.
As a PC gamer, is there a good reason to buy one of these consoles? For couch gaming, it takes a bit of work to either build a living room PC or pipe games through Steam In-Home Streaming, so convenience is a factor. But for the price of a console, you might also consider putting together a VR setup—the upcoming release of Half-Life: Alyx makes that an especially tempting prospect.
What else is there to consider before spending your money on the latest tech? We want to hear your take on the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and the state of PC gaming in 2020—and you could win a chunk of Amazon credit for letting us know.
