Imo, its a big mistake to buy a PC.

PS4 will get all sony exclusive, all japanese games, and most of the PC games.

PC games will just have few exclusives ( MMORPG, F2P , Rome Total War, etc. ) and always the same kind of games ( you will barely see Platformers for example )


So if you want good variety in games, a lot of exclusive games, buy a PS4.


if the most important thing for you is better grraphic, so go ahead and buy a PC



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Im telling you this right now so you arent disappointed.

No one will fault you for getting a PS4, but I say wait it out. Dont be in a rush. IF you do buy the machine expect the associated costs and growing pains . But since you have a Vita, you may want to get one.

A little about me, the games I play. Price is a factor as I am strapped for cash, although a pc could be a swiss army knife but bigger price tag could hurt. I am mostly a social and casual gamer these days I still enjoy stuff more intense like killzone on psvita (game is wicked) or whatever it may be. I do like sony first party and I know 3rd party will support the ps4 very well as my wii U might not see the same support from the 3rd. Steam sales are cheap and alot of great stuff on there but maybe it is not a good time to invest in a pc as mentioned.

Platformers
MMO's
Shooters
ARPG
Sim

there is never a bad time to invest in a pc, but in your situation i'd buy a ps4.  You already have a vita and since you like Wii u, you can get the awesome off tv gameage :)

PC, all the way. Like the guy from Nvidia said, there is no way a console can match a same time frame PC nowadays. Also, people who say it is cheaper to buy a console don't think in the long run: no online fee (unless on some games) and Steam/GoG/Humble Bundle promotions.


No, not PC all the way, it totally depends, there are many amazing games you won't even get to play on PC.


I'm aware of that and there are very nice exclusives by Sony's side ( specially Naughty Dog's and, to me, the next Infamous). But the gap among console and PC releases is getting thinner more and more, not to mention the position Steam are placing themselves to be in the close future. Plus there are also many games you won't get outside the PC domain.

Yes there are some, but console is where most of the AAA exclusives are. It's not worth it financially to invest in just PC for AAA exclusives.


I respect your point and agree with it to some extent, but he has already got a WiiU for exclusives, something many gamers are going to do and I kinda believe it is what Nintendo's bet is now.

Sims and MMO's is PC territory, lots of free MMO's around today.
Shooters it's a mixed bag, generally most shooters are on the PC and they also look better with better framerates and better controls. (I.E. Want Kinect? Want a Playstation controller? Or perhaps the venerable Keyboard and Mouse?)

If you intend to keep the PC for many years and maybe upgrade it on the odd occassion and if you like to buy allot of games... The PC actually works out cheaper in the long run due to the cheaper games and free online access.

Plenty of PC exclusives that will never make it to consoles and plenty of console exclusives that won't make it to PC, so gauge which exclusives you would like most on each platform and work out which one would be a better fit for you.
Or you could always get the Playstation 4 or PC now, then get the other later. :)

Japanese games will mainly be shared between 3DS and PS4 and One sometimes ( and PS4 will have a good number of exclusive, more than PS3 )

 

 

 

OP, about PC power, you also should know that you will have to spend more in the futur to upgrade your current PC. ( around 700$ for a current PC)


That's not a problem you'll know if you buy a PS4 ( and we also know a 2006 PC cant run PS3 games like Uncharted, The Last Of Us or Beyond, it will be the same, a current PC wont be able to run PS4 games in few years )

See PC does have a lot of great exclusives, but most of them are non taxing on the system. It's so much smarter to buy a standard computer that can play those too than invest in a gaming rig.

Sorry for the double post. IOS's tend to do that sometimes.

F2P are barely great exclusives ( and are often pay to win ).

 

The truth is you wont find as much variety on PC than on PS4. ( i dont think we'll see exclusive games like The Last Of Us, Puppeter, Ninokuni, Tales Of, Beyond, God Of War, Disgaea, ... on PC, but we saw that with Sony in just 1 year )

 

But if you prefer shooters, MMO, ... PC could be good for you.
