PC vs PS5 vs Xbox Series X
I used to play mostly consoles from N64, megadrive (master system i vaguely remember seeing in the cupboard) genesis and saturn which also mostly collected dust) playstation 1 and 2, xbox 360 then up...

It's just one of those things, I feel there are pros and * to both types whilst still having a "clear" winner in the most powerful PC, of course being a better machine than a one-size-fits-all console.
But, like the fabled Android/Apple debate, it likely comes down to a lot more than that for people, hence the comfort thing, maybe even a social thing? Friends all don't play PC, therefore do I sacrifice all social abilities for hardware, or go "lesser" for the enjoyment with friends? I think ultimately it'll just be simple preferences here and there yano?
As for breaking easier, I'm not sure. I don't know any statistics for consoles/PCs breaking and requiring maintenance over the other. All I know is that, in my entire life, I've had one console "break" on me (which was the Xbox 360 due simply to poor manufacturing choices in the chipboard/clamps, and I fixed that myself in about 10 solid minutes never to be seen again).
So again, I think ultimately it comes down to preferences, and personal experiences. I know a guy who's broken his last five phones in a row, claiming they've all been hardware faults, when I've seen the way he treats his stuff, so I dunno. We'd never get a fair test to make the relevant assumptions I guess.
@littlxr The original 360 was universally known to be of poor build quality and i heard no end of complaints about it. Went through 3 myself with 2 dying and selling the third.
At least the social factor has been addressed with crossplay as that was quite the divide back then.
@Srksii lol.
@Extremejinks Ease of use, price, comfort and equality appears to be big factors.
@RSArussian I'm in no way knocking consoles as i was ps fanboy back in the day and looking at the specs, an 8core16thread cpu , 16gb of ddr6 ram, fast ssd with a gpu that supports ray tracing is damn good at the 500 mark, PC or console.
I'm in a rush otherwise i would reply more in depth to your points so i may come back to this later today if i have time.
