CONSOLEs vs PC

I have not changed the OP in anyway, please show or tell me one single way that what I said in the OP made this ALL about console gaming being cheaper than PC gaming. Please.

 

I don't need too. Anyone can read between the lines and see what you were insinuating, doesn't take a brain surgeon!
As for "costs specifically" all through the Op you were throwing around the console costs, so of course people are going to take those numbers and run with it.

The point was never to say "console gaming" is cheaper than "PC gaming". It was to say that there are different types of PC hardware. And there are types of PC hardware thatis similarly specced to what you have in consoles. And that if comparisons of a game running on both PC and consoles are made, then the PC version in question should be running on hardware that is at least similarly specced to the console. That way they are n the same category. The point is that it makes no sense when people compare games running on PC hardware to consoles if the hardware in question is vastly different. That was the whole point of thsis thread.

 

And this is the point that you don't seem to be capable of understanding.
There will *never* be a fair breakdown on hardware vs capability without an actually, you know... A proper cost analysis breakdown of the platforms in question.
It's not difficult to ascertain why either.

Over the long term a PC can not only be faster, more capable than a Playstation 4, but can be cheaper aswell, if you look at the entirety of the picture.

Another example is when you buy a car, you look and think about the size of tires, how many cylinders, fuel economy, registration etc'. - Because that can make a cheaper car more expensive than a more expensive car over a long term.
In-fact that's one of the big arguments about Electric Vehicles and the same applies here.

Thank you. Thank you very much for this point. That is all I am saying. I am not saying that you don't have choice as a PC gamer or what not. Just that there is PC hardwrae out there that is similarly specced to the PS4/XB1. So if a PC gamer wants to post a pic of how much better that game is running on PC, then that PC gamer should use the hardwrae you just cited. Which at best will run the game at 1080p. And not post up pics of the game running at 4k on hardware that is 4 times more expensive than the hardware in a PS4.

Again, you're missing the point.
A Radeon 7850 can run games at 4k, the Playstation 4 cannot, sure the game will have to be old, but it can still be done and look better than the console release at the time.

And this is what I don't get. If some of the posters here, yourself included, just relaxed a bit and didnt take this thread to be some sort of attack on them or however you take it, you would find that if you guys gave it any thought and tried to see what exactly I was saying.. you would arrive or come at the exact same conclusions that I and others in this thread has come to

You're under the assumption I am not relaxed? It's actually stupidly difficult to understand someone's tone of voice, mood, how they feel just via pure text, if you are interpreting my mood as "unrelaxed" then... Not my problem.
However, do stay focused and look at the issues at hand rather than my mental well being. (Which to be honest, is none of your business anyway.)
