also, if you write a negative definition, you're arguing against a PC on a PC. so get over it, console gamers. you offered
no points. You may argue over screen size. there's massive smartTVs that act as monitors for a reason, and with consoles, you can't really have multiple monitors. also, you can play console
exclusives on a PC with an
emulator, and PC/console non-exclusive games, as well as PC exclusives, but you can't play PC exclusives on a console.
