It is inferior. Please take not I am not talking about players, but the platform itself. Hardware wise, it is an inferior platform given the limitations it has. The only arguable benefit of consoles vs Gaming PC’s is the plug and play factor and “bulletproof” design, which, is arguable, because consoles do get blue screen errors, crashes and is not like 20 years ago where you would pop in a cartridge and play away. Now you have update installs, disk failures, update bugs, etc., just like on a PC
Not to mention that since the Xbox360 came out, both Microsoft and Sony’s consoles have suffered of poor hardware design and have had gone hardware revisions to deal with hardware failures because of cheap components and/or bad thermal design
