Hay im not knocking PC gaming i do it myself, im saying asking some people to outlay £1000 day 1 is just to much of an ask, yeah steam has awsome sales but it also has shit day 1 prices, at least here in the UK. 

I do hope over the next year with the next gen here everyone can get there shit together with digital pricing on new titles, its criminal. 


Who says you have to lay down $1,000 day 1?
PC's are upgradeable, you can buy a moderatly fast system for a fraction of that and over time upgrade it.
Upgrading a PC isn't difficult either, even a monkey can do it:

I know but i thought we were talking about getting a PC thats going to outclass PS4 here, and your going to have to go quite a bit higher on spec, cos PCs dont get as close to the metal as consoles, Lets face it you would not see GTA5 running on a PC with a 256MB graphics card. 

And this PS4 has the equivalent of a 3-4GB graphics card if the devs want.  

Im not really wanting to get into a big debate about it all, im just saying console gaming is more affordable, yes you might be able to make PC gaming cheaper overall, but the initial outlays are high, and you can make console gaming as cheap as you want, you can get most games for £5-10 only a year after release, and you can borrow games off your mates, rent games from rental places. 

Of course you could argue that you could just go full pirate on PC but as a game dev i would never condone that.
