consoles only make financial sense if you think about the short term.

They cost monthly, games are more expensive, no cheap future upgrade path and backwards compatibility is a gamble.

Even worse: Poor mod compatibility. There are numerous games that are pretty lame without some community mods, or are fun for a single playthrough but there is a whole galaxy of mods that give it a new life afterward.
