All consoles should come now with Netflix, Amazon, Internet Browser etc. . So do the tablets and smartphones...
But comparing PCs with consoles reveals something very interesting: PS4 and XOne offer the least amount of subsidizing of all 3D console generations at launch time. If the same performace/price ratio of a XBox360 or PS3 compared to a PC would be applied, PS4 and XOne would cost either a FRACTION of their price or they would be 2-3 TIMES MORE POWERFUL...
The X360 included new GPU gen with more shaders then "normal" PC cards available at the time AND a 3-core PowerPC which was faster than anything Apple used... . At a fraction of the price of a PowerMac. The PS3 had a Cell Chip which was sold later (albeit with double precission) on a PCI card for 2000 US$... . So even the PS3 costed a fraction...
This time the PC costs - depending on whom you ask - "just" 50-150 bucks more. Thats simply lame what Sony and Microsoft are offering as value for money... |
Consoles run Illustrator and Photoshop and the hundreds of software Windows and Linux run now(at the same time as playing your games even)? I must have been out of the loop. Last time I checked PCs had free multiplayer as well and we could upgrade parts bit by bit with the prices of said parts going down over the years(well, supposed to anyway).
Consoles can do alot more things than they could do in the past, but comparing that to what PCs can do now is laughable at best, as if Netflix, Amazon or Internet Explorer are even the beginning of what's on PCs. Even without Windows, and even with apps on consoles, and even using something like Mint as your OS.
Even just focusing on games and the library of games on PC and the potential of emulation, I'm not even sure why people even bother.
