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

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.

Well the only reason it works on a potato is because of the hard coded aim assist in every game.

Still wondering why this is a sticky in the wrong section of all things.

It is or isn't in the wrong section but thaf depends how you enterpret it, and that hard coded aim assist is laughably bad you want to run but it drags your crosshairs across the screen

Well considering you are running a comparison across multiple platforms, this is the wrong section to be doing that.

Is it bad it took me this long to realize I had a notification that I was quoted? Lol.

On topic, true. It is quite possible I got used to aim assist and don't realize it. I will say that in all games in which I have the option to, I turn aim assist off, but there are some where even when it is off, its on. If you know what I mean.
