To be fair, PCs does have its own exclusives so exclusives are dependent on the taste of the user...

Also to be fair, you don't actually need $1000 either... While I don't agree with toot's build cause he is really squeezing it and omiting some things, the GPU that the ps4 pro has is a downclocked 480 which DF used to test their benchmarks of the Pro. So an actual 480 would perform similar to the ps4 Pro with the exception of some unoptimized games. I would say a $600-$650 usd PC should be able take on a ps4 pro. But certainly not a $400 one.

And both have advantages/disadvantages.

yea i was just showing an extreme cost saving example

you could buy used parts and easily beat the ps4 pro's price

Thats true.

The PS4 comes with its own OS and controller. It comes with everything you need to play. What you linked - doesn't.

You basically left out everything you could and it STILL cost more than $400 (and even more when you include that mail-in -rebate you didn't mention.

I'm surprised you didn't just suggest pirating the OS.

Barely more expensive but, 100x better. If you add in PS Plus thats 60$ or 70$ now every year.

edit: same price now with everything needed http://pcpartpicker.com/list/wXsYNN

and if you bought used you could bring this down way more.

100x better you say? Jesus tapdancing Christ....Tossed.

I dont see if anybody asked already. Do you have a 4K monitor/TV for the PS4 Pro?

You don't need a 4ktv for a ps4pro.

$400 no, $500 PC absolutely.

Sub$500 gaming pc's aren't really worth it to me; there's lots of compromise and you'll have to upgrade soon anyway, wasting your initial investment. If that's your budget then get a PS4P. If you can save up more for a $6-800 PC then you can have one beautiful machine.

Pls don't buy a 400 PC, waste of money.

There is just no way to build a pc for 400$ thats going to run games better.

This. People should stop pretending that price is a killer argument against PCs. There will never exist a PC with the same price/performance ratio of a console. Like there will never be a console with the same capabilities as a PC.

That said, give it a few years and PC will catch up again.
