I agree its a perfectly good objective to want the best performance. But i dont agree with PCmasterrace. Consoles run your games without problems for many years a PC is a much more complicated machine that requires mantenance and upgrading. Its more time consuming and costly to mantain.
A console you turn on and you're playing. Theres no fuss. And time is money. Its a perfectly good objective to want the best entertainment value per available free time.

Therefore...no. PCmasterrace is delusional. Either one is an acceptable choice.

How is PC an acceptable choice though?, the way you just described it made it sound utterly pointles where only a super small handful of people would see it being viable.

 

Its acceptable for those that don't mind the maintenaince aspects i mentioned.

Its only complicated if you have been living under a rock and not know a single ounce about technology. Its the same case of the Wii and WiiU - people have no idea what they are looking at or buying.

 

You say PC requires upgrading and is costly as if consoles arent like that. Yeah sure, all those new consoles that come out every 5-7 years you have been getting it for free or the replacements for controllers and any peripherals that get damaged, you get those for free too. Not to mention that the prices for console version games are much more expensive due to the pull that Retail has and the amount of discounts/sales are far less than what you would see for something that is digital or through online DD.

If you look at the right places and at the right time for both consoles and for PC Parts - you can find them at a very low price and not the exaggerated amount most people brag/complain about.


I dont think it makes any difference trying to belittle those who don't enjoy those hassles and saying they live under a rock. Its actually a very narrowminded PoV. We know most people don't like computers and can hardly handle them. We here on this website are probably a minority. But alot of people simply don't enjoy it. If it isnt a hobby, its time you would rather spend doing something else. A console is a no hassle proposition. That is why its sucessful.

And the masses are ignorant. Its just how it is. But, they can be surprisingly honest aswell.
