Yeah, a console should just be a prebuilt PC with a controller friendly interface. So something like current handheld PCs, like Ayaneo or Steam Deck, but perhaps with a stronger focus on UX, game tuning, etc. If I want to reuse my PS6 as a PC, that should be totally feasible.

It was doable with the PS3 and then they took it away

Seems weirdly doable with the Xbox Whatever They Called This One. Unless I'm misremembering the maniacs whose officially-enabled homebrew was Bochs emulating Windows 98.

Looks like Steam Machines might make a comeback
