| LudicrousSpeed said: I only read the OP and none of the replies but uh.. PC's are cheaper. And more powerful. And though I prefer gaming on consoles since that's where my friends/family are, I can easily admit they make for superior gaming devices as well. And to be fair, if you're going to include things like a monitor and OS and keyboard for the PC then you should also include a TV for consoles. And don't forget there's no online charge for PC's, and you can ALWAYS get new release games for a lot less. You can actually build a PC that easily outperforms current gen consoles and save a lot of money in the long run. |
Well OP doesn't seem to take the recent $50 price cut for PS4 into account, so right know the mentioned PC build is about the same price(though PS4 includes a controller). But yes PC does have the advantage of free online. Also if you upgrade or buy a new PC you can play you're old game library on it no problem. On most consoles you can't do that.
Against that there is one huge advantage that currently make consoles my platform of choice: used games. I have played a lot of new games for € 10 or less because i could buy and/or resell them used. On PC this market is almost none excistend, and you can't sell digital games.
