Calling modern consoles “plug and play” is a bit generous. It’s more like “insert disc, wait 15+ minutes for the mandatory installation, wait another 10+ minutes for the mandatory updates, then play. Oh, sometimes you need to update your firmware too. If you’re playing multiple disc-based games at the same time,…

Consoles have not gotten more complicated to develop for. The current console generation has been praised because their x86 achitecture (same as what has been used in PCs since the 80s) is far simpler to develop for than many of the proprietary architectures used in previous console generations.
