The Wii (and Wii U too, tbh) along with PS3/Xbox 360 (Kinect) were pretty nice. On the other hand that’s just my youth and what I grew up with haha. So maybe I’m biased.
The console business model of subsidized hardware and platform specific-exclusives is coming to an end.
Semiconductors costs have gone up and they will only continue to get even more expensive. At the same time, graphics are reaching a “good enough” phase, where marginal increases in fidelity require exponentially more processing power.
It also doesn’t make financial sense to not eventually release games on PC (if not have a same day multi-platform release).

Steamdeck?
I don’t really think of that as a console. It’s a handheld PC.
