What's the practical difference between using a console and a smart TV? Aside from this one feature I mean, which I've never seen on mine.

The UI is better and not as slow as on smart TVs from what I've heard. Plus you can play games on the console and watch DVDs and Blurays if that's your thing. Apart from that, not much.

They also track you less. They still track you, but it isn't even close to what a smart TV does.

Good point, thanks

This is true, because smart TVs have shitty processors, and consoles do not. Consoles are made for media, smart TVs have shitty embedded software on slow hardware, comparatively.

Sony famously pushed DVDs into the mainstream and won a generation of console wars by building a pretty good DVD player into the PS2 which also happened to cost not much more than most DVD players did at the time

Consoles tend to have higher power draw than a lot of simple devices. Depends on how much you care about environmental power savings or power bills.
