I'd still buy both; some games are just better on PC, and sometimes you just wanna chill out in the couch playing games on the big screen.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I don't buy consoles for the exclusives, I buy them for the convenience.



Hmm, pie.

While consoles would still be more convenient I wouldn't doubt to choose PC over consoles.



I would go back to PC. I buy consoles for the exclusives (why I have all 3 now) and two of those consoles will feature every big PC game in its library as well. That said, I see no reason to continue investing in a powerful PC (I would go all out just for shits and giggles) when I already have consoles that play most of the games already.

If exclusives were not in the equation, I would go strictly PC for the steam deals if not the performance boost. Make no mistake, exclusives are the ONLY reason home consoles are not going anywhere anytime soon.

If you'd asked me a year ago I would have said PC. I actually have a gaming pc and I haven't used it in months because I couldn't be arsed to sit in my chair when I can be lazy in bed and play ps4. I'll acknowledge that pc would be miles better tho. No contest

hmm, good question. I'm a console gamer but it would certainly make more sense to get a PC and that's what everybody else would probably have, so I'd buy a PC.

gamepad is all that matter ... and a big screen 60'' like screen ;)



No, because PC would still receive half-assed ports for about 1/3 of their games.

And to: ''the only reason you would ever buy a console is because you dont have the extra money (200 or 300 more dollars) to build a PROPER gaming PC.'' - I didn't, I bought a console, because it's easy, no virus scanners, no need of knowledge of anything that's in it. And most of all, because a lot of my friends that I game with have a console.

Even without exclusives console would still sell. PCs are still too complex and maintenance heavy that a console will have the cheaper and better experience for most people.
People with knowledge and money will obviously go the PC route.

I think this is a great thought experiment to show the benefits of consoles over PCs.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I would still go console. Large TV, couch, controller, not having to worry about if they optimized for or , etc etc.
