I've had 1400 dollar laptops break within 2 years of purchase. At least, if your console dies, you can replace it at a much lower cost. Also, some games crash with greater frequency on a PC. At least you're guaranteed to play whatever you buy on a console. The only reason to buy a PC is to play the games that are absolutely impossible to enjoy on a console such as RTS and some free-to-play games. |
Build your own and they will never break in 2yrs. I've had two PCs since 2000. One built in 2000 and one in 2008. 2000 finally broke in late 2010 and replaced did a cheap low-end rebuild with a $120 mobo/cpu/mem combo. Both have had zero other upgrades and run win7 perfectly fine.
Now niether were built for gaming, but both could play nearly every newer game (not on full settings of course) for well over the first 3-5yrs. (had Wii for 5yrs and PS3 for 2.5yrs)
But I will give you that game updates and patches, etc and such were more of a PITA on PC than I've ever had on a console. But that seems to have even changed on consoles over this last gen.
