I thought about this for a while, does higher performance really matter if there will be emulators for console games? Say i invest all my money into consoles enjoying my ps4 and wiiu for what it is and buy only physical games.

In 10 years from now i can pop the discs into my pc and play my console games in higher resolution and framerate. Doesnt make it pc gaming irrelevant when it comes to more power? Yes obviously you would play on the pc but all your investment would be on consoles (games and controllers etc.) instead on PC platforms like steam.

And to be honest i am not even sure if you will be able to play your pc games in 10 years. I had many experience with buying physical pc games which wont even run on XP, its so annoying. It was one of the main reasons why i switched to consoles, i have full BC by simple owning the boxes instead having an ever changing animal called the PC. PCs are better at running old console games than old pc games imo. I think console gamers shouldnt be salty if there will come out emulators for last or current gen consoles, they should embrace more option for their purchases to play in higher resolution and framerate.

Tell me what you think.
