This is a chart that gives you the idea about how much cheaper PC is and the build I made is actually very similar too the build I have listed. There are other reasons why you should switch

Better Game Selection- PC has a better game selection overall you can't deny it there's multiple stores to buy from, tons of free games, lots of genres not widely available on Console.

Better Graphics this is very obvious one but its another to add because we like beautiful games and if you don't then would you rather play watch dogs or battlefield 4 on a NES or a PC?

Mods - PC has lots of Mods that can improve games/ make new games out of old games, Modding is frowned upon on Consoles and some Developers on PC go out of the way to make the game friendly to mods.

More Hardcore/Casual - There's more super hardcore players and we all seen those guys playing StarCraft for hours upon hours without stopping and then there's casual players playing Minecraft or casual indie games.


There's many more pros to be listed but I don't want this thread to be too long

So for the sake of being "right" you'll bring up subjective information like joy? You're desperate.


yea i will. try to play a moba or rts game or a flight simulator on a console. it garbage. you can do everything and more on a pc. and if those pc's arent cheap enough i can make them the exact same price as a console and still be faster and better suited for gaming.

You'll be very hard pressed to build a computer that compares with PS4 or 360 for $400 from stock.

The prices in any timespan between consoles and PCs are the same. Which is what this thread is trying to "prove." Yet it's the antithesis of truth, it's manipulative reasoning.

The selection of games is irrelevant. Quality != Quantity. Quality is not a measurable statistic. The only factor in choosing a platform are the exclusive titles. It's really that simple. This price myth is easily debunked and quantity is irrelevant. If your head is so far up your ass that you can't accept such basic reality, this conversation is over.

You talkin to me?
C'mon , since when a 650$ pc can handle games for next 6 years ? maybe at lowest graphic setting yes , but that sucks , not even high end computers can handle a game that comes after 6 years at good graphics . I don't want to say consoles has better graphic but at least it runs well any game for next 6 years . I had both of them , 1200$ pc (only pc parts , no peripherials and display) in 2008 and now im using only my PS3 since I don't play games too much anymore , all I can say that PC after 6 years sucks at gaming and I need eventually to invest at least 700$ to make it handle latest games at high graphic settings , so where's the good deal ?

you didn't pick your parts very well, if you bought this today it would still be relevant in 7 years You must login or register to view this content. and depending on your pc specs you might only need a graphics card to make it relevant

I picked them very well trust me (q9550 , hd4870 , 4gb ram ....) , I had more knowledge at that time (200Cool Man (aka Tustin) than now , maybe components got better performance/price ratio nowadays but I am sure you can't run lastest games at highest graphic settings at decent FPS and when I say latest games I mean those heavy weight games like GTA 5 or the incoming mafia 3 .

And I see your partlist cost 1150$ , not 650 ...
