| Ka-pi96 said: Definitely. A. Consoles are just more fun. The UI looks better and the control schemes are generally better (controllers are simply more fun to use than mouse/keyboard). B. The games are cheaper. Not too long ago I strolled into Book-Off and bought a Dynasty Warriors game for ¥108. I'm pretty sure I've never seen anything that cheap on PC before. Sure, PC is typically cheaper for "new" games, but with the used market consoles are definitely cheaper. C. They're easier to connect things to. Much easier to plug into my TV, they don't take up anywhere near as much space as PC and I don't have to disconnect them from my monitor, remove them from my desk, lug them over to the TV and then plug them in, they're just always plugged in by default. Thus they're also easier to use for Netflix etc. Plus the amount of hoops I had to jump through to get my DS4 to work on the PC version of Halo MCC... D. They can be used for DVDs. My PC doesn't have a disc drive so I can't watch DVDs on it, my PS4 has one though! E. I can multitask if I own both. Play a game simultaneously on console and PC, can't do that if I only have a PC. |
A. PCs can be more fun. You have much more options to adapt the UI (and you don't have to pay for themes) and you have much more options for controls. You can use the control scheme best suited for the game/genre you want to play (f.e. mouse for point&click adventures + fps shooters + RTS, racing wheel + pedals for racing games, flight stick for flight sims + space sims, the gamepad of your choice for platformers...)
B. PC games are cheaper if you don't mind digital versions. I got over 100 PC games for free last year, over 70 of them from Epic Games with an average MetaScore above 80... I'm pretty sure I've never seen anything that cheap on consoles before.
C. Plugging a HDMI-cable into a TV + console is the same as plugging a HDMI-cable into a TV + PC or plugging a HDMI/DP-cable into a monitor + PC.
D. PCs can of course also be used for DVDs. Even if your PC doesn't have a disc drive, you can buy and connect an external drive for around $20: https://www.amazon.com/External-Burner-Writer-Transfer-Desktop/dp/B081PTF935
E. PCs are made for multitasking, f. e. you can play a game in a window and watch a movie simultaneously in another window (or fullscreen on two connected monitors). Play a game simultaneously on console and PC, you can't do that either if you only have a console.
