But in 7 years my PS3 cost me £400 once and is still relevant to gaming today its playing arguably the best game out at the moment GTA 5 which i cant play on my PC I made my own PC around the time the PS3 was released it cost me £800 since then ive had to upgrade it twice to keep it relevant for playing the latest game, each upgrade cost more than the price of the original ps3 cost. So were talking close to £2000 over 7 years, thats a lot of money your average console only gamer could just be spending on games, So dont be telling me PC gaming is cheaper, it aint, but i do it cos there are cool PC exclusives for me Civilization i also need a PC for work purposes anyway and i can afford to pay the extra for better graphics than a console. So unless your buying games on a near weekly basis it aint ever gonna work out cheaper. Ive also recently sold nearly all of my PS3 games to fund the new generation, guess how many of my PC games im selling to fund a new PC upgrade oh wait i cant sell even 1 of them. |
a lot of truth in this post but i'll just comment on how important that bit is.
PC has lost a huge chunck of there exclusives this gen (360 a bit but it's really showing with the ps4) as the smaller/indie devs are finding consoles viable platforms. but more importantly, the PC graphics argument is heavily damage by the fact there are very few AAA developers willing to develop exclusively for PC. all that extra power is meaningless when the games are developed to the lowest common denominator (consoles).
