How in the hell can someone be offended for this?

I guess it makes their xboxes less special.

The only reason at all to own a console at this point in time is the exclusives and which console your friends have, which is influenced by exclusives.

It's also a cheaper/easier point of entry, though I think we're rapidly heading to a future where all gaming is done on something that's just a PC, whether that's Windows, something that's good at hiding that it's just Windows, SteamOS, or something else.

Kind of? A steam deck is around the same price and is very easy to dock to a TV and runs excellently

But it doesn't run Alan Wake 2 at 4K. The Steam Deck is great value, but a console gets way better bang for your buck when output to a television, and at around the same price. Gaming PCs need to close that gap.
