Why don't we add the cost of PS network, and an average of $20/game to the budget of the PS gamer vs. a PC gamer. Add another $200 to your PS4 estimate for four four years of internet alone. Anyway, by the time Order 1886 or Uncharted 4 release, PC gaming will have gone through likely two more graphics card generations and ram would be vastly cheaper. So while you're playing those games that are suppose to push the PS4's hardware, a person can buy a PC for the same price that exceeds the PS4 in ability, and enjoy multiplatform games with a graphical quality, image quality, and framerates matching or exceeding that of the PS4. |
In a reply to the "here you go" person, I broke down that right now, for $550 (which was a barely camparable pc really), you can get the ps4, a couple games and a ps Plus membership which leads to free games across all sony platforms. To me, being able to get $30-60 games for my ps3 and a bunch of $10-20 games for the ps4 for free is a HUGE value added into the ps Plus membership that negates the initial cost by a big margin.
By the time pc gaming goes through a couple new graphic card generations, the ps4 will most likely have had a few price drops and the games being built for it will be significantly more optimized to run on the systems hardware, thus looking much better than the ones now (just like any console over it's lifespan). I still don't believe the ps4 will be that much behind (or at all) a similar priced pc in the coming years as what will you be able to get for a pc priced at $350 and then $300 when the ps4 hits those price points.
