Are we really needing yet another generational thread about how PC's are all gonna be expensive or weak, and that PC gaming is gonna be dead again?.

I mean, you'd think after a number of years on this site, that people would stop pulling that crap by now. People buy into what they want, it's not hard, it doesn't need number price stat crunching or anything. The whole "consoles are cheap, therefore better than PC's and everyone will drop PC" rhetoric is beyond stale at this point, and I honestly wish it'd die.

Happens every gen loll. People forget or ignore what the purpose of PC is and only focus on how it compares in price to performance for gaming compared to consoles. Some people think that because a PC can cost $1000 and the console costs $500 with similar performance that suddenly, PC offers no value.

It's always funny to see because even if you only focus on gaming, PC claws it back by having free online, by giving you extensive gaming features that are only do able on PC. You look at how many people get worked up about whether or not previous gen game will be compatible with their next gen console... Meanwhile PCs can not only play games from 2 decades ago, ironically it can play old console games through emulation. Then you have mod support. Yea consoles get very limited mod support that has to pass Sony's/MS's screening where as PC is like, nude mods? Mario Mods? Whatever mods? Fuck yea!

The list goes on with universal controller support, family sharing, competitive digital stores, bundles, free games every month, upgradablity, various form factors like laptops and portables, etc

Not to mention when the next gen gpus, cpus and etc do come out in a few months, reality will strike
