Putting the PC cost argument to rest

I love how you pull these numbers out of your @ss.  My cousin is currently using a 5 year old screen perfectly contently (That is also used for his PS4 so it doesn't just apply to PC's), and he has also been using an old 5 year old gaming laptop as well.  Both work great!  However my brother had to buy a new PS3, and some of my friends have bought multiple 360's.

 

The replacement parts argument goes both ways people.

I don't pull them of my ass, i pull them of what i see. Your cousin story is great, but at some point people have to replace pieces. If you bought a gaming pc 5 years ago, you just can't run watch dogs now. And of course you can keep the same screen for 20 years if you want (Most of jap indies run on pentium 3 in 800*600 after all), but most gamers like new stuff.

A 5870 and core 2 quad runs Watchdogs just fine bud, and that with a core 2 quad would have cost ~$1000 5 years ago.

Also my cousin's monitor is 1680x1050, and that is quite a bit higher than 800x600 lol!  But I don't get why monitors are being mentioned here. Both consoles and PC's use them so anything you say about one applies to the other.

Because it's too expensive to be put in "random shit"

Yes it applies to both, but who doesn't have a tv in 21th century ?

Too exspensive for who?  Both PC's and Consoles use TV's.
