The answer is not buying a completely new PC every time you upgrade. If you just take a 4 year old PC and switch out the GPU with a $400 one you already have a better PC for a cheaper price.

Just because consoles force you to replace all of your hard and software with an upgrade doesn't mean PCs have to. There are plenty of components that last multiple console generations.

400$ is cheaper? The console alone cost as much, and it wont even run better because your old CPU will bottleneck your graphicscard which is pretty wasetfull.

I would much rather buy a new XBox One for 100$ more, getting also a 4K bluray player and saving some hardrive space on my PC for porn etc.

Last time I checked $400 is cheaper than $500. And for that saved $100 you can get a 3TB drive for all your porn.

Any regular mainstream CPU from 2013 outperforms the X1 CPU by miles. CPUs haven't been bottlenecking PCs since 2010.
