Nintendo is the only one with a reason to keep making consoles. Xbox and PS5 are essentially PCs in a fancy box (although PS5 has a really fancy sound card)

Isn't the Switch essentially a tablet with controllers attached?

Exactly, it’s a portable you can dock to a TV. The PS5 is a fancy alternative-hardware pc. The Xbox is literally a PC. I suppose you could make an argument for price, but hardware wise they’re not really all that special these days.

This is why Steam Deck is such a game changer.
