| killer7 said: I hear so many "arguments" from peole: Reality is: IF a PC gets supported longer you have to UPGRADE it. No, you don't HAVE to, see above. A PC with GTX 1070 (now 8.5 years old, so longer than a console cycle) can handle ANY PC game except Indiana Jones and the Great Circle), even Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and other heavyweights. Of course with reduced settings, but it is still supported. The same of course is true for PC systems with GTX 1080 (8.5 years old), GTX 1080 Ti (8 years old), Radeon RX Vega 56/64 (7.5 years old). Even a GTX 980 Ti (9.5 years old) still can run almost any PC game, if it doesn't need more than 6 GB VRAM. And even a much slower Steam Deck can handle Cyberpunk 2077 and most other newer games. You spend more on that than on a console. So no! Yes, the price-performance-ratio of consoles is unsually better, but not leagues ahead. And the last two years, the Steam Deck had a better price-performance-ratio than a Nintendo Switch. A PC does not get supported longer than a console! Yes it does, see above. More PCs are sold,? Yes, when we take every PC into account for gaming, working, research, university, hospitals... yes of course. But for gaming? How many PCs can play current games? Less than consoles. No. A friend of mine modded his Xbox Series X, has an illigal mod chip inside and plays every game from steam on his Xbox. Modding and emulation as a pro argument for consoles against PC? Are you alright? |
