2. depends on the starting specs of the computer, plus starting cost of a decent pc is a lot higher than a console.  pc gaming is definitely more expensive to be into, I don't think there is any debating that. 

If you have a PC not older than a few years, you can probably upgrade it to be very gaming-capable with just $80 or so for a new graphics card. Will do for a couple of years at least. Just... Don't tell me you don't have a PC at all? Good. And if your PC is older than that, well, have a guess how much it would have cost to upgrade your PC if you for some reason decided to upgrade it instead of buying a console? Yeah, probably not more at least.

Anyway, point is, PC gaming is not even nearly as expensive as people make it seem.


I already have a gaming pc, but I prefer gaming consoles.  True, you could upgrade a crappy computer to get to kind of work, but you aren't going to get a superior experience by meeting the minimum requirements (you'll probably have to upgrade ram as well, if not operating system).  

If you are trying to get a superior experience on the pc, it is definitely more expensive, which is what I was talking about, but good job taking one point I made out of context to try and make somekind of point that doesn't reflect on what I was talking about.
