100 % yes, best games & exclusives, awesome hardware.

This is not even a close comparison, hell as others have said the Xbox is closer than the PS4 is due to more flexibility in the OS. The PS4 is the best console but that is really where it starts and ends for the PS4 and even then it is personal preference.

What more flexability in the OS? There are many more features on PS4 like the ability to zoom in whenever you want. With the upcoming update the PS4 will support background pictures and external hardrive, plus you can still switch the internal hardrive.

Nope, I can't even do 1/4th the things on a PS4 that I could on a PC, I don't just playing fucking video games all day lol. If you are buying a PC just for gaming then you are doing it wrong to start with since it's supposed to also be a workstation.

 

edit: make that 1/10th actually now that I think about it.

This was never about anything other than gaming, and if you allready have a PC like 99% of users here you allready have a workstation

Name them. There are only 2 best features PC has to offer that directly pertain to gaming.

1. The ability to freely choose your hardware and in that regard the ability to choose the perfromance and visual quality a game can run at.

1b. The ability to change visual aspects of a game to change the look and performance on the same hardware.

2. The ability to freely choose your prefered peripheral.

The PS4 isn't even close to any of those despite 1b. and 2. being very easy to implement. Which means PS4 is rather actively omitting PC features to make the experience worse.

1.  PS4 pro or PS4

1b. PS4 Pro allows you to have better visuals and performance with Boost Mode and other PS4 Pro modes

2. There are various adapters and different controllers for PS4 like from Hori

Hold up, are you trying to compare a lower end computer to an actual workstation? Sure, if all you do is check your e-mail and browse forums all day, you can do that on any shitty piece of computer or on your cellphone but they sure as hell aren't actual workstations. You need to go back to master race school. Then again, if you are just an average joe and don't need a powerful PC to do real work, then yeah, you'd be fine without it.

Under normal circumstances, I'd stay away from this mess, but I better offer you my support for mentioning the reason I despise Sony and Valve... 

Why would that make you despise them? They're not forcing you to buy or play terrible games or anything like that

Not when they shove adverts for them whenever they are able to... It annoys the living shite out of my head. I wound up wishing the PSN Vita store had an ad blocker...

PC is better: I can use whatever controller I want, for starters. Free online. Ability to install mods.

That and I use my computer for A LOT of things.

its not about what you think is better, its about what has the best features of both

Well I like having choice and last I checked, PS4 wouldn't allow me to play using a DS3, for example. DS4 is mandatory.

Would love Nintendo games on PC.

Get a Wii U

Already have one but I would rather play them on PC.

Certainly the best console. But as far as being the best platform, I don't know, that is debatable.

The PS4 is obviously having a great moment now thank to new features and games, hence this post I guess.

But PC is constant all the time, it may not have the AAA exclusives the PS4 has, but it never suffers from lack of releases either like consoles sometimes do.

What games were released on PC since the beginning of the year? RE7 and?

1. pitiful amount of choice (a toaster and a toaster with 3 slots)

1b. pitiful amount of choice (1080p @ shitty fps and 1080p upscaled at shitty fps)

2. pitiful amount of choice (shitty controler and shittier 3rd party controller, no mouse or keyboard)

What may you think, a choice is still a choice. I prefer just having 3 to 2 options instead having a bunch of sliders, it saves time and increases the focus on gaming. Thats why PS4 has the best of both worlds.

There are more options now, but I'd still say the PS4 has a very different ecosystem. That's a plus in my eyes.

And I don't where people get the idea that kb+m is good for gaming. It's horribly uncomfortable.

Cool. Any way to use an X1 controller or WiiU Pro Controller?
