The console is as exposed as it would be if you directly connected it to a modem with no router in-between. While not totally ideal, it's a console. It should have built-in security fit for the task. If it doesn't, meh. Your PC will have a built-in firewall that's superior to the router one anyway. If it doesn't it's far more flexible in terms of being able to install one, so you're still no worse off.

Back in the old days of 56K modems, everything connected directly to the internet so no router/NAT protection, and we didn't panic.
