My husband is the PC gamer and I am the Nintendo lady but I am the only one here. I am also his tech support somehow.
The barrier for entry between consoles and PC is basically identical at this point, and they're both easy enough that anyone but infants and late stage dementia sufferers can access these days. I imagine only those with an interest in the actual hardware would be relegated to family tech support
Not sure if I agree with you. consol os's are so much more simple than full a full desktop os, everything makes much more intuative sense and there are less complications you need to worry about. And of course you don't need to spend any time learning about the different types of hardware and all the compatibility issues or if your buying prebuilt it can be overwhelming with all the different companies and selections. In the consol market there are 4 options really: ps5, ps5 pro, xbox s and xbox x.
