No doubt you can build a PC with a Pentium G3258 and R9 280 (~ 7950 @ 950mhz) and in 3-4 years drop a used i7 4790K in there and that will last another 3-4 years probably until PS6/XB2

And watch as everyone tries to tell you that you're wrong :/

 


1) True, but no one ever debated this.

2) First off, refurbished doesn't mean *used*. Second, no one mentioned anything about buying refurbished stuff 3 or 4 years into the PS4's life cycle. You're just arguing stuff no one said.

3) You seem to be less knowledgable on this topic. Mostly all AAA games that are released as multiplatform titles are release as $50 dollar games as opposed to $60 on the PC. Just take a look at Shadow of Mordor, Alien Isolation and the Borderlands Prequel on Steam if you don't believe me.

You can buy used games on consoles, this is true. However, some times the games are more expensive used than they are new (I.E. Metroid Prime Trilogy, Xenoblade Chronicles, etc.). To be fair, even on multiplatform titles, many times they are only 3 - 5 dollars cheaper than getting them brand new. With that said, you'd still be paying more money. Lets not forget tax (I don't pay tax when I buy my games on Steam).

Your last paragraph assumes that we're arguing points in which no one ever mentioned by you, and also assumes that half of what you said above is true, and it's not. So, no need for me to reply to it.

2) Please, look at the part of thequote I bolded out. I think its clearly said there buying something used? Unless you want to say I put that in myself. maybe you should have properly read what he said before supporting him. So how am I arguing off stuff no one said? And used..refurbished? Please, all semantics. Basically the point of that line of thought is that you do not purchase at full price or at cost of brand new. Just saying that that same approcah goes both ways.

3) Less knowlegebale because I am not quoting exact prices? Mind you, I sued the $40 figure cause that was the number that has so far been thrown around in this very thread. Hell there was even a chart or something brought up showing the cost of PC gaming blah blah blah. But thanks for further helping me prove my point. The guys here that come on championing PC this and PC that seem to conveninetly ignore a lot of things and make their comparisons based off extremes that are usually even mutually applicable to all platforms concerned.

Honestly, this is exactly why I hate getting into these discussions with PC typs. As I said, they act in very strange ways. You are practically making me out to be a liar or something when on this very page you can see every refernce to which I am talking about. Just scroll up for crying out loud. One you will see the quote that I bolded out that made the reference to used parts and two you will see a chart that listed PC games as $40. But when I say it I am fabricating shit lol....
