I... hate gaming on my PC . I really tried to like it but I don't feel comfortable.

If I had the money to build/buy a beastly PC then I would. Play multiplats on PC and get PS4 for exclusives.

 and so this happy arrangement begs the question: why get a console at all?

It's an interesting read. however it finishes with a moronic statement. The list of reasons for getting a console over a PC for gaming is long and nothing much in the article changes that. I say that as someone that primarily games on a PC.

How come?

 

Was it your PC Specs? Controller scheme? Games ;O?

The games are not the problem as I can see that most multiplats are better on PC! But the keyboard + mouse... I hate it. I know that you can use a controller but it's not the same... Also and the most important... My pc can barely run team fortress 2 on minimum settings... It is so expensive here in my country .

Price, convenience and exclusives. Not that long. And PC has exclusives too.

Cyclical industry is cyclical.

PC-console-back to PC-back to console.

This is just such a flawed argument. The over 1k you will spend on a PS4 and 10 years of online will not only buy a decent PC but leave you with a lot of money left over to buy a lot of games. You dont even need a "beastly" PC because console specs have held back PC gaming. I have 32gigs of RAM and I only need 8 at most because games only require 4 gigs at most.

I gonna ignore the OP... too much reading. It should just say cheap games, piracy, and online games.

I recently put a Nvidia GT220 in my PC, its good enough to play most 7th gen games. But I still prefer the simplicity of a game console.

Yes but the value of PS Plus is incredible. Sure you have to pay for a subscription fee but you get games with it so I don't mind.

Cheap and diverse games. Solid backwards compatibility. Everyone needs some sort of pc for vgchartz. So might as well throw in a semi decent video card in there and avoid console wars.
