I don't see the connection..... how does buying a console every 3-4yrs ewuate to people jusy swappimg to PC. I would understnd it if so doing bresks compatibility, or if its a requitement to be allowed to play the new games or even if there are exclusives on the upgraded hardware but none of that applies.

I would even understand it if it were cheaper getting a more powerfully specced PC at whstevrr price you would get a console without having to exolore the used market and deals and promistions to build a pc from scratch, but that too isnt the case.

Certain facts will always hold true, you will not be able to just walk into a store and walk out with a PC that is as powerful and P'n'P as a PS4 for $350 even today. Can you build ome if you are rrading to apply yourself, maybe.... that all gets even harder when we are talkimg about a PS4 and a game or two for $299 during the fall months.....

As long as consoles offer and plug and play jist walk in and buy all in one cheaper solution.... there will always be a market for them. But i fear this is something that will be lost to anyome that has ever built a PC to play games on it. The second you do that, the harder it is to realize that a lot of people dont wamna do it too.

You fail to see a number of points really.

Why will this ruin console gaming?. Let me explain.

The is people out there who like having the most powerful console on the market. 

The is also people out there who like owning multi systems.

The only benafit consoles had over PC is now gone. Completly gone.

Now consoles are PC's except if your a console gamer over the span of say 10 years you would of spend alot more upgrading your console then you would if you had a PC!.

This is another mistake you make by saying you wouldnt get much more powerful then one of the consoles for the same price.

Yes if your a First time PC buyer clearly it will cost you more for your FIRST PC. However once that investment is over your pretty much good with just upgrading your GPU.

It will be cheaper for someone who already owns a PC now to upgrade to something like a GTX1070 (Even a GTX1080 by the time Neo comes out) for less then it will cost a console owner to upgrade to the Neo.

So as you see. Yes the was a time when console gaming was cheaper however that time is no more.

Refer to my previous post. You will still be able to play games on the xbox one. The xbox one will be an entry level console where as scorpio is more of a premium console. These upgrades will keep continuing every 4 to 5 years.
