$400 is enough to get a PC with better graphics than PS360. PC gaming is really cheap nowadays, especially with the amount of money you save from PC games. |
I don't believe that's true. Can you link me this 400 dollar PC that has graphics on par with a 199 dollar Xbox 360?
Also, keep in mind, that even if it is technically as powerful as the Xbox 360, the games made for it are not optimized for the hardware, and thus, performance will be worse, at equal spec levels. I think you are far underestimating the dollar amount it costs to build a HD gaming worthy rig. I estimate about 900 bucks for something you wouldn't be embarassed to link on the internet, and something that wouldn't have obtained complete obsolescence last year, and something that wouldn't play a game that came out tomorrow at over 20 fps.
To top it all off, you would have to build it wouldn't you? How many console owners could do that, dya think? You think my 11 year old brother should go out and try to put together a 400 dollar gaming rig, so he could save 10 bucks per game, with little or no increase in graphics or MODERN library over a console?
Also, I can buy games used. I can buy console games for far cheaper than they usually are on steam if I buy them off ebay, or rent them. Can't do that one PC usually.
Also note that most people would probably want a store bought operating system, if they built a PC....
Not as cheap as advertised, imho.
It's not as expensive as some people try to make out either, but it certainly isn't for everyone. Consoles are. That's their selling point. Nell, from the movie Nell could have an Xbox 360 up and running in 10 minutes.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
