In my own anecdotal experience, if you are a computer gamer, you miss out on all the "console exclusive" stuff. Stuff like Gran Tourismo or the latest Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy or whatever. I can't really remember. Then when it is a game everyone plays, it tends to be something where the console gamers can't play with the PC gamers so it's like
"Hey I just got the new counterstrike!"
"Oh that's awesome! I have that too! We should play sometime!"
"Yea what's your PS5 handle?"
"My what?"
"You don't have a PS5?"
"Nah I have a PC"
and yea.....
That is my anecdotal experience though, and it was always bolstered by the benefits of PC gaming - cheaper games, ample mods, lots of sales, and the biggest game library of any platform. Plus better performance. And I could text chat on my keyboard while playing Quake 3 back then haha. Sadly text chat in games has died off as an art, in favor of voice chat and all the problems voice chat comes with. lol.
Edit: And of course, the PC is a tool, the game console is just a dumb appliance.
