What is the definition of a console then? At this point it’s just a pc that runs a locked down OS.

Back 20 years ago the distinction was just obvious.

Locked down OS and hardware, or not usable for general compute for some other reason. 20 years ago you could have a gaming PC with discs like a console, but again the console was locked down.

This just illustrates the article point. We have come to the point where a console is just a worse less useful version of a PC.

Steam OS will replicate the nice TV UX of consoles but not be locked down.

Maybe, idk, no horse in this race. My newest console is a GameCube, and my Mac can run approximately 2 games. Just saying there's a delineation between PC and console.
