I'm in team "sticking to my £500 console and also keeping my mid budget PC" I have too many game boxes stacked up, and I'd rather keep the ones from decades ago I can't get again at sane prices, than the ones from today that can't even be played without day 1 DLC anyway. Though, I've somewhat ironically switched to digital. Flash forward to today, and it feels like PC did in 2008.
But after Steam started really taking hold, stores stopped selling discs, and eventually they just vanished, so I fled to console to stick with physical. The infamous one, Starforce, would actually break your DVD drive. I used to be all physical on PC, though the DRM schemes were horrible back then. But I also got out of it because that's when Steam started taking over and replacing physical discs entirely.
Everyone tells me it's oh so much better these days, but I don't believe them. But I dropped PC after PS3 came out (then got X360 because 3rd party games ran so bad on PS3 and ended up liking XB unexpectedly as well), but I mostly got out of PC because of the expense and troubleshooting nightmares involved. Then I moved over to PC (though have a decent PS1 library I played the real discs on PS1 emulation, and had a PS2 for those JRPGS, and in hindsight, mostly JapanStudio exclusives.) Stayed with PC for a good decade, and it was a great, golden age of PC gaming back then. And then there's Dreams that so desperately wants a mouse and I was Atari, then Nintendo + Sega back in the day. Soulsborne, Sackboy, and GoW are the only big PS games I can think of that feel really console native these days. Even SATA would have been a big jump for consoles, and still ahead of the majority of Yeah, but those games were always better on PC.
We jumped from 5200RPM 2.5" laptop HDDs to the creme de la creme NVMe, arbitrarily for no reason, and skipped right past the obvious SATA SSD upgrades at extreme costs. I thought from the start it was weird going with NVMe HDDs instead of SATA for both brands.
