    I agree in the context of a N64, a PlayStation 2, a Super Nintendo.

    I’d be very surprised if playing in an Xbox Series X is somehow transformative for a child growing up today, compared to playing the same games on a PC. But I’m open to any argument explaining the difference.

      I’d say that’s because PCs have become more console-like. I’m personally gaming a lot on a deck now, although I still have zero desire to hunker down behind a desk and fiddle around with a mouse and keyboard, tinkering with settings and whatnot. Deck is a nice middle ground, and having access to a lot of older PC classics is fantastic.
