I got tired of the whole GPU, PC building thing. It's something that everybody should do once in their life if only to learn how computers are put together. However, at a certain point, I just want come home, sit down and play games without having to fiddle around with drivers, so I bought a console.

Is this a bait? Swapping parts once per few years was THE reason to choose something you can't even likely repair?

Right? I find solace in the fact that I can update individual parts of my PC over the years to play whatever new game catches my fancy. Buying a whole new console every generation seems wasteful.

I'm definitely not on board with pixel chasers upgrading graphic cards every year, though. That feels even more wasteful.
