Probs the only reason for many to buy a console these days. For the cost of a high end GPU you can get an entire system and some games.
I have a powerful computer for my work with a 3090, i9 etc. I still prefer gaming on the Xbox, it's in the living room, it doesn't bother me with driver issues, CPU overheating, and other random bugs I get on the big machine, and it's in the living room where I'm also spending the time with my family rather than stuck in my cave upstairs.
