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

I like console gaming more, im a PC gamer also i just prefer to play on a console, its alot easier sitting on my couch in front of my TV with a ps4 controller in hand than sitting at lets say a desk or table on a desk chair holding a mouse and using the keyboard. Not to mention i wont have to go and upgrade my PS4 tomorrow when a whole new set of hardware comes out for PC gamers. Don't get me wrong i do appreciate the better graphics and flexibility of PC gaming but at the same time i prefer the comfort and simplicity of console gaming meaning i don't generally have to worry about my games crashing because my computer cant handle it or having to sit there and deal with some companies anti-piracy non-sense, OR even some online games frustrating connection issues (Not saying every PC game is plagued by these issues just general examples). Its just easier to go buy a PS4 and sit comfortably in front of your tv and play a game with friends in all of 20 seconds of turning on your console. Also i wouldn't really say a better selection of games on PC the PS4 and xbone have been out since what November or something? so none of us really know what type of games they're going to have in the years to come everything you've mentioned is so biased because you PROBABLY only play PC and nothing else, so obviously you're going to have a hard-on for PC just like console gamers have a hard-on for consoles but the really childish thing is that PC gamers are starting to willingly enter the so called "console wars" acting like their shit don't stink, AND there are plenty of hardcore gamers on consoles they have tournaments with million dollar prizes among other thing's. I'f you're going to sit here and tell me how much better PC gaming is AT LEAST get the other side of the story. Because you obviously know nothing about console gaming. But the PC gaming community thinks they're the best ever because they have this and that so i know I'm just going to get bitched at for this post. Just another reason console gaming is better in my opinion.


this right here, this guy gets it, all of you hardcore pc users just dont seem to understand. console users dont care about having the extra 10fps that you cant see anyways because console use is so easy and simple and you dont have to make an upgrade for a decade to play new games. the ps3 is still seeing new titles and the graphics only get better as the console ages. i can unplug my console with 2 cords and bring it to my buddies or take it with me on trips and use it with ease. can you do that shit with your desktop without it sucking ass? and dont bring up the case of laptops because there is no laptop that can compare to a desktop without costing over a grand

They don't get better? What an utterly stupid comment. Graphics undeniably get better over time on console as the devs get more familiar with the platform. You compare games that got released in 2006-2007 to games released in 2013 and there is a distinctively clear difference in graphics and performance. I fully expect the same to be the case with ps4.

They get more jaggies, but the resolution and frame rates stay the same, they just smooth them out and fool you into thinking they are better and go play a original game game like Motorstorm it has a hell of a lot less jaggies then cod ghosts and far cry 3 and GTA V

I don't particularly care what they do to make the graphics better, all i know is games have come a hell of a long way since the launch games in 2006 and to deny that is stupid. You'd also expect to see less jaggies in a more simple racing game such as the original motorstorm than more complex games that pretty take the consoles hardware to the max. Although i don't really notice the jaggies and neither does anyone i play on console with so it's hardly a problem. Besides it should be less of an issue on ps4.

You don't care? Then why argue it? Also Motorstorn is one of the most complex racing games its not a basic shitty game like GT5
