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.

1.But not in the same time you have to choose what you want either you spend less money and can't play the blockbuster games or you spend a shit ton on money in a pc and can play them.

2.If it's so easy then show it, what pc can easily outperform current gen consoles and saves you a lot on money in the long run (a pc you don't have to upgrade I guess?) and can play the next let's say GTA?

1. "Shit ton" is subjective. I spent $750 or so on my latest PC, can play any game I want, and all at settings that far exceed PS4 and Xbone. That might be a shit ton of money to you, that was a good investment for me for a PC that will last me years, longer than a console. My PS4 and Xbone are already dated in terms of hardware. And yes, you accomplish both at the same time.

2. I already built a custom PC that exceeds my consoles. And I'll eventually upgrade this one. And build another. Just like in 3-4 years I'll buy the next Playstation and Xbox consoles. As far as saving money goes, it's simple mathematics. I'll even go the cheaper console route and pick the PS4. Retailed for $400. I have bought one year of PS+, that's $50. It's about to run out. This time next month it will be $500 I have played on it. You save $20-40 on new retail games if you buy on PC, especially with sites like G2A. Multiply that by however many games you wanna buy and the savings add up quickly. Hell, you buy 5 AAA retail games a year even at $40 on PC and you have saved $100. I don't pay $50 for PS+ and in two years that would have been $300 saved. You buy more games it's even bigger. Plus even non AAA games are way cheaper. The trash indies and good indies you see on consoles are cheaper on PC.

As for running the next GTA... idk? I haven't seen the specs for it. But I don't see why not.
