Umm, my pc is only connected to my TV. I don't have a monitor. Do some research before posting false info. I can play games at better settings than my ps4 and my pc only cost my $500 about two years ago. That, combined with me still being able to play ALL OF MY PC GAMES FROM FOREVER AGO, free online, much cheaper games, better sales, mroe frequent sales, more controller input options, more graphical settings, emulators, the fact that a pc is also a pc that can do many more things than a console, make it a much better experience, IMO. I have all 3 consoles (U, One, Ps4), but they come nowhere close to the experience of having a quality pc (which can be had for cheap, unlike much of the false costs I see people state around here). Not having to pay for online is just the icing on the cake. That is ridiculous. And It doesn't matter if there are more programs on PC (steam, origin, GOG, etc.); it takes two seconds to open one and boot up a game. 

Also, PC has plenty of exclusives. Just because they're not as talked about as uncharted, does not mean they are bad or nonexistent. 

I don't know why people keep posting these comparisons. If you don't want to build a pc and play games on it, then don't. Just play on your preferred platforms. BUt being ignorant of the diversity and scope of pc gaming is rampant on this site and it's pretty funny it's like some people are on a mission to shed pc gaming in a terrible light due to their console allegiance. it's funny. 

I dont know where you live but if i wanted to build a gaming pc with ps4 performance TODAY it would be something like:

Nvidia GTX 750 ti - 120€

Core i3 4130 - 120€

Motherboard ~50€

Case - 30€

Power Supply 400 Watt - 40€

8 GB Ram - 50€

500 GB HDD - 40€

Windows 10 - 80€

Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - 40€

Headset/HDMi Cable - 10€

 

All in all thats 580€ for to get an as good pc as ps4 TODAY. So I dunno how you got an machine for 500$ 2 years ago?

 

Using a PC on an TV isnt very comfortable. Texts are to small, you need an table ot something to use the mouse etc. I hooked up many pcs to an tv in my life but just to streaming a movie etc. I would never seriously use my pc completly on an TV.

 

PS: My ps4 was 259,-


Control and "+" will increase your text size or just go to the control panel and adjust the settings for the monitor (in this case, TV) you're using. Screen size, text size, resolution etc are all customisable.

 

I got a wireless mouse and aa wireless keyboard with a built in touch pad for like $30.  The box said it would play for a year on a single set of batteries (which were included).  I'm not a PC gamer and I see you have experience as well but, for me, there is zero compromise using a computer on my tv which sits about twenty feet away (living room. Six feet away in my game room).
