Seen this type of comment on a fair few forums lately.. lots of people are at odds with the ever increasing costs of PC gaming and the fact Console gaming has caught up to an extent with PC gaming, coupled with things like Freesync coming to large TV's etc many older people are moving across, as you say, its just more comfortable as you get older and aches and pains, to sit on the couch or a chair or lay on the bed with a controller etc.
Believe me I was about as anti console as you could possibly have been. Then my second rig (10 core BE Xeon nothing special) had a GPU failure during the mining. Do you know, I spent a solid week trying to replace the GPU to no avail. I was offered a GTX 680, for £130. In the end I broke down my third rig and took the Fury X out of that. That PC is at my mother's, where I game there when I stay there.
But yeah, the 1X is an incredibly impressive box. I really can't believe how nice the graphics are and how the interface is bloody great. I can easily switch from gaming to looking on Youtube for tips, then switch back seamlessly. Oh, and I love how the game is sitting there waiting where I left it. So loading times have been massively decreased.
But aye, the contempt AMD and Nvidia showed gamers with their lip service comments such as "We love PC gamers we really do honestly" just boiled up my pee. And it's still very much on a rolling boil and will possibly never be fixed now that I can clearly see Nvidia are going to charge me for their mess up making too many GPUs too late.
Sod those apples. Miners come along, make all the cash, then Nvidia want the gamers to bail them out after giving them the cold shoulder for over a year.
Yeah, nah. Just, nah.
