There's your problem! The order of preference goes like this:
PC > Console > Living life on a farm without video games or electricity > Windows Vista.
I like my consoles, and I like many of the games that are console exclusive. But in terms of hardware, PC is more versatile and better in basically every way. And I'd argue the backwards compatibility is better for the most part as well. I mean yeah, if I have a CD-ROM from 1997 I may struggle for a while with drivers and resolution mods and what have you, but 9 times out of 10 I'll at least be able to play the thing on my modern OS. But then I look at my consoles, I can't event play PS3 games on my PS4. So... I'd rather have the faff with drivers than get locked out of playing the game entirely.
And of course, between Steam and GoG it's becoming less and less of a hassle to keep things working long term. GoG is great for super old games as it packs all the necessary driver stuff in with the executable, so you just click and play.
