Still doesn't stop others from judging you, that's just a fact of life. You can spend whatever money you want and neglect it to the high heavens but it's not going to stop someone like me saying "hey you're wasting your money, you should probably better yourself or at least use your money wisely". What you said does make sense but like I said before, it does not stop any and all judgement let alone observation from someone else.

A lot has changed, the hardware, the prices, the way we game in terms of peripherals, gamepad evolutions, the online gaming, digital gaming is huge on PC compared to consoles, that's a big difference and change with the platform like it or not. What you consider small and insignificant makes no great difference, the fact of the matter is time has changed a lot of things, for PC a lot has changed, yes consoles have changed as well (I see we're now reaching that point in a debate where we must mirror and put things as 50/50 equals), but to a point where they only go so far, each gen they are stuck to a specific defined piece of kit. With PC's, hardware evolves around the clock all the time. Years ago hardware was insanely expensive and the upgrades were beefy, now we're getting smaller sized hardware, mini desktop builds, better cooling, 4k res jump (consoles will be stuck at 1080p for some more years).

I was pointing out that mobile phones as being part of technology have advanced a lot in the last 15 years the same way PC's have, lets not deviate.

Again you're deviating from the main point. I was generally referring to neglecting an investment whether it be on food or a product. I don't know why you're now telling me we should take it to off topic considering my question was aimed at someone else and not you, but you stepped in to tell me otherwise. I take it this is the end of discussion part, or are we going to stretch this further based on what I've said and deviate even further to the point where you go "what are you talking about?".

Right, but the only time a person will purchase an XB1 now outside of friend demographic and loyalties are people who don't want to game on PC and must have XB exclusives. Granted this is still a number that can sustain the console, it is a much lower number than before.

You're basically saying the only time people will buy a Xbox One is when its what they want. I can agree with that.

PC doesn't have all the content of Xbox One or even Xbox 360. Many notable 360 games on X1 BC is also an incentive to get a X1.

Ah, that was easy.  I never wanted kids, so it was a nice trade for a decent computer.
