Have you even used a PC for gaming since the mid 1990's? PC's today are far more reliable than they have ever been previously, my PC is already a couple years old with the hardware in it right now and it's never had "technical errors" - It's also faster than the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, combined.
On the flip side, you also have access to the largest repository of information known to man-kind, even my grandmother uses it to learn new things, it's called Google.
As for upgrades, sure you have to upgrade the GPU sometimes, maybe every 4+ years a Radeon 5870 is still very capable even today.
But the CPU and Motherboard can last much longer than that. - A Core 2 Quad Q6600 for instance, is still very capable of playing pretty much every game out today, that's despite it being released 6 years ago and it probably has another few years of life left in it yet, thanks to the consoles anemic processors.
| Daisuke72 said: Also in your post you're tacking on shit such as extra controllers to add to the cost of the console, really? Odds are you're gonna buy a remote for your PC, and a PC comparable to the PS4 is $800 or more upfront. So if you factor in all of the games and such, with newer releases PC games DON'T go under $30 unless it's a true bomba. Sure you can buy a ton of $2 games and so forth, but I can go to gamestop and buy used games for $2 - $5. Know why? Because those games are either old, or aren't that valuable. You can trade in your console games for others as well, I have 40 PS3 games and have only spent around $800 for all of my games, including my PS+ subs thanks to deals on PSN and used games. |
Remote for my PC? What is this? 2001? Everyone has a Smartphone these days, be it Windows Phone, Android or iOS, there are apps which allows you to use your smartphone as a controller for media functionality if you so wish.
Keyboards and Mice combo's can be had for under $10.
Lets take a look at game prices then shall we?
Battlefield 4 is $100 to Pre-order on Xbox One and Playstation 4 here.
On PC it's $90, both at EB Games.
Simple mathematics shows it's a $10 difference, some games the difference is larger sometimes.
Also, why not take a look at the EA Humble bundle awhile ago? You could have gotten: Battlefield 3, The Sims 3, Mirrors Edge, Command and Conquer, Dead Space, Dead Space 3, Crysis 2, Burnout Paradise, Medal of Honor all for $5, please, point me in the direction where consoles get deals like that.
| Daisuke72 said: Hell with PS+ for $60 you're annually getting a value better than any $60 spent on PC after you take in account the games your getting, and how valuable they are in comparison to shit on Steam that costs $1 - $5. |
You're paying $60 rent games, they aren't free.
Steam however is free, you also get free games.
There are also plenty of free games that aren't on Steam.
It's literally 100% free, there are no bait and switch tactics, nothing you have to purchase to access it all.
HOW can something that costs actuall money be better value than something that is 100% free? Seriously, you get more for your money with free.
| Daisuke72 said: The PC has more games, yes, better exclusives? Fuck no. The only PC exclusives worth playing are MOBA's and some MMO's in my opinion. |
This is where you completely loose the argument, it's all opinion not fact.
Whether exclusives are worth playing all comes down to personal opinion.
I would take a PC game that actually has decent and indepth gameplay over the quick-time riddled console games like uncharted. (LADDERS WTF)
You obviously prefer the opposite.
| Daisuke72 said: Show me some PC exclusives that would make a casual gamer want a PC? |
Knock yourself out.

But seriously, you want casual? Doesn't get anymore than Casual than The Sims.
Show me a Playstation or Xbox franchise that has outsold the casual game "The Sims" with 150 million copies sold in the entire franchise, go ahead, I dare ye'.
Do keep in mind this entire discussion was origionally about performance, once the PC was brought up (By yours truly) and the common knowledge that the PS4 is technically inferior in comparison, it had to shift to other aspects as if the Playstation 4 is the only gaming platform that is worth bothering with, which is simply not true.
