It is double standards because
1. you can do much more with a PC than just play games and do the typical console stuff so price is irrelevant here. also FYI my PC is as fast as those 2 consoles and did NOT cost 600+ bucks or whatever.

2. this started with the PS3 vs 360 era I did not say it started with the PS4 vs XBO era. PS3 was more expensive and 1 year newer than the 360 and yet both systems were compared (and if you now say PS3 was more expensive because of the bluray drive I remind you that thats the same as having a PC thats more expensive because you can do much more with a PC than a console like replacing hardware etc. Same thing)

3. how come people compare the PS to a WiiU then? Its not the same price but again as long as the Sony systems Win comparing is allowed  its just not allowed to compare it to a PC.

Youre using the PC sides double standards to try and prove PS owners have double standards.

If you take a PC costing the same price as the PS3, it might match it in 2006 and maybe until 2008, but after that optimisation drops off a cliff.

The double standards are because every year PC fans want to put a new budget PC spec up against the PS3 but dont want to take into account the cost required to make that change.

While games are optimised for PS3's 256mb ram, PC's from the same time and similar price which had 1 or 2 gb of ram wont even load up the newer games PS3 is getting because developers are not interested in optimising their games for old PC's.

Same with the PS4. Buy a £350 PC today and it might just match it on performance, but a year or two later, that same PC will get destroyed by the PS4, but PC gamers dont want to look at that anymore, they will just come up with another PC spec on that day and just assume everyone who bought their PC today can get that upgrade for free... and it will continue to happen for every single year the PS4 is out.

Very well put. I know I'll always enjoy PC gaming more than I do console gaming, regardless of the price, but the comparison really is ridiculous. Next people are going to try and compare an iPhone 5 to a PC
