I don't know about a $500-700 PC lasting 5-6 years (no OS, memory or GPU upgrades in 5-6 years for a gaming machine is unrealistic), but I definitely have to refute the oft quoted argument that PC gaming is too expensive.

You don't have to build a PC capable of running everything on max settings at 3k+ pixel resolutions at 100+fps to enjoy it as a gaming platform. Far from it.

Console gaming becomes a LOT cheaper once a generation is a good 3 years + into the cycle when consoles tend to be below $200 and there is an abundance of "best hits" titles going for $20 or less, not to mention all the used games that can be bought for under $10.

However; the 7th gen of consoles isn't at that point yet.

 

you have to remember that graphical advances even on PC is slowing down. Crysis Warhead might look better then Crysis but not by much. The major thing that will change is physics now.



PC gaming is better than console gaming. Always.     We are Anonymous, We are Legion    Kick-ass interview   Great Flash Series Here    Anime Ratings     Make and Play Please
