Lol, another pc holywar...

Any current PC will be in the garbage can in ~3 years, while ps4 still be on a horse, ASAT, end of story.

Nah. If you have any clue how to build a gaming PC you can have one that'll play games on at least medium 4 years from now.

And even then, the sheer amount of money you savfe on PC (in the hundreds per year) means spending $299 on a new graphics card every 4 years isn't that bad.

Nah. If you have any clue how to build a gaming PC, you'd knew that now(until the new gen of hardware comes out(which would be interim, too), and that would already be an year+ after the console launch) is the worst time to build it, and why are you talking about medium for more money, while ps4 pushing maximum(right now) for less?

Statement stands. Check in "~3 years".

 

Btw, average PC gamer doesn't save hundreds per year, he doesn't save at all.

Really? Do you have a gaming PC? Because that statement is just flat out wrong. The PS4 is in NO WAY pushing any maximum right now. It is already utterly destroyed by high-end cards. This isn't like last generation where gaming PCs that matched consoles were obscenely expensive. No, now you can buy a gaming PC that already outclasses the PS4 by a large margin from around $900-1200. You obviously don't game on PC much if you don't think that a high-end card will last 4 years. Not to mention that there's no reason to pay for anything online, and the games are much, much cheaper, so yes, you will be spending less per month than you do with the PS4.

Also, the PC medium is better than the PS4's maximum. Sorry.
