So you're saying a next-gen console (PS4/Xbox 8, obviously. Not Wii U) is equal in power to a $1700 computer?

Sounds like a $300-400 console is quite the deal!

hahaha...


Well it'd be cheaper in the states as electronics are cheaper there. 

Plus there's a good chance that the next-box/PS4 won't be as powerful as a PC above.

But would the main downside for you just be the cost?

No not really. It is mostly down to comfort, time, ease-of-use, and online community/local community and friends.

I own PC's and even build high end ones for friends and family (had a business even for a little while). I just think consoles are cheaper, easier to setup/use/maintain, and offer a more comfortable experience where I just plop down on my couch and play.

Sure I could find cheaper games and an online community on PC as well, but I just don't like sitting at my desk staring at my monitor and typing/mousing away after I do that all day every day at my job...
