Forums - Gaming - The immaturity of the great PC vs. PlayStation/Xbox debate

green_sky on 31 January 2016

Good thread. It is the same with Android Vs iPhone people. Used to visit car sections of some forums. Same things there, everything sucks except their beloved car or car brand. People just grow big and tall but always act like spoiled kids. Watch an episode of Vice just to see how fucked up the world is.

As expected, you don't have the slightest clue, how many PC gamers still game on desktops. Just have a look in the Steam Hardware Survey, where all the used GPUs of the 125 - 200 million accounts get tracked: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/directx/?sort=name

If we kick all the mobile GPUs/APUs out of that list ("AMD/Ati Mobility Series", "Nvidia M-Series", other GPUs with a letter like "M","B", "D", "G" before or after the number) and all the Intel chips, that still leaves 60 - 70% with dedicated graphic cards (usually found in desktop PCs).

So at least 70 million Steam users still game on desktop PCs.

I think it's good for them. I still think desktops are redundant and pretty useless. You need a laptop/tablet for general purpose, right? For eg, when for travelling, moving around, etc.

How dare you. Fixed (did not spend that money on my 950 XL to see someone on the Internet acting like Windows Phone does not exist in a thread!)

OP: At the end it is not about what is the best device/place to play/whatever anyway. You resume it VERY well in the last sentence.

It is all about feeling better about the money people are spending on their things and fighting over it on the Internet seems to be a good way for some to convince themselves they made the best possible choice. Trying to have sensible discussions about that is a lost case if you ask me :)

Well if the consoles would kindly die already we wouldn't have any debates. We wouldn't have silly exclusives and powerpoint slideshows sold as "games".                                     

yeah so we can argue about which graphicscard manufacture is better, so much more exciting than consoles? I defeniatley take the Consoles exclusives over anything else exclusivley on PC these days.

Well first of all, we already do that and second of all, the majority already agrees that AMD is crap.

And exclusives are bad no matter on which platform they are. Though they're worse on consoles because there they are forced to perform below their potential, which is just cruel.

And your attitude is why there is an Intel/Nvidia monopoly on PC now. 

I thought PC had emulator making everything supirior to the original console release?

Personally I have no problem with an Intel/Nvidia monopoly. I do not depend on cheap hardware.

There would be no need for emulators if there were no consoles. And the fact that console manufacturers make it harder with every generation to create emulators shows that they acknowledge how bad PCs could make those consoles look.

there are emulators because PC games stopp working on newer OSs and Hardware. Its easier for PC gamers to emulate consoles versions than playing their own versions on the latest Windows





Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

Well you've countered your own argument within itself there.

I game on my laptop for what I call multitask gaming.
On ps4 for immersion and a stable frame rate.
On WiiU to have fun with my kids.
Not on XBox cause no time left.

Xbox is a better choice for developers, but for gamers PS is where it's at.

Because Rol put it in his original article and several others replied with the same types of things.
