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

Yea you couldn't be any more wrong. My hardware as it is is creeping up on being 4 years old. It plays every game maxed out just fine. My only issue is pushing 5760 x 1080 on most games but that's far beyond what any poverty station can do anyways.


Flagship products don't even come out as often as he said in his post.

You've overvalued the games a lot for pc. I've never paid more than 30$ on a game and that was bf4 when i first got my pc.

Gaming PCs are nice, dont get me wrong. I play plenty of games on PC. There is one thing people overlook when saying "PC is better than console in every way" or vice versa... People have opinions and preferences. Such as myself, I prefer using a controller on first person shooters. Now yes I can hook up my controller to the PC, and I do when I play fps games on pc. However any PC gamer knows that you can't do the snap to with a controller like you can with a keyboard and mouse. Its a matter of preference, and preference is a matter of opinion. Now that doesn't give console players the right to say consoles are better either. Neither one is perfect. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Simple as that.
