I love gaming... Most likely you do too or other wise you wouldn't be here in the VGF... Anywho, This post will be about how BOTH PC and consoles are both great at their own right. Both have greatness and both has flaws. Im here to point out everything cause im really getting tired of all the fanboyism (shh Ik I spelled that wrong). Well here is what I have to say...

Consoles and PCs both have their ups and downs. I doubt consoles are dead.

Neither PC or console are cheap. both are expensive. The sells may not be as good but keep in mind its only like march of 2014. PC has great looking games and cheap indie games as well. (but I mostly care for the big games which are still as expensive as the consoles) Great online. mods and stuff like that. but it really depends on what computer you have. people need to be sure if they are buying the right type of computer that can handle games. Stuff like upgrading rams and graphics cards are pretty expensive and are a real pain when you have some truoble with em. And if a PC breaks... it sort for gameover there. then you have to buy a new one. (unless you can fix it).

Console games have great local and online multiplayer. Console are more suit to gaming. developers have easier times making games on consoles. You can easily replace a console if it breaks. stuff like virtual console (being able to play old games) are better emulated on a console then they are in a PC. You dont really have to worry much with your console then you do with a PC. PCs can get viruses and you can have issues like lag and you might have problems like a broken hard drive. But console's hardware arent really as good though. (but im not really a person who goes insane over graphics) You pay a little more then you would with a PC (depending on the PC) And most gamers usally use consoles since not all PCs are fit for gaming. the ones that are, are usally expensive.

this is just me though. both are great and NIETHER should go. if only we didnt have these worthless console wars and actually live at piece in the gaming world.Then people wont just stick to one platform and try out all sorts of games. A person can dream I guess.

"Neither PC or console are cheap. both are expensive." 600 dollars is not that much these days. That is pretty cheap for a one time purchase that lasts a couple years.

Wrong. Most parts have a 5 year warranty for PC parts.
--
"developers have easier times making games on consoles." No they don't. They have to spend so much time optimizing for the limited power of a console while keeping in good favor with the maker of said console.
--
"You can easily replace a console if it breaks."
You can easily replace PC parts too. This isn't rocket science.
--
"PCs can get viruses" Stay off bad websites and have an antivirus, moron.
--
"might have problems like a broken hard drive." CONSOLES HAVE PC HARD DRIVES. OH MY GOD YOU IDIOT.
--
"not all PCs are fit for gaming. the ones that are, are usally expensive."
Not if you know anything about building a PC. Seriously. You can purchase a 750ti and put it in almost any PC. Suddenly you have a BF4 Ultra machine for 149.99.

Also,
"actually live at piece in the gaming world."
Learn to spell peace. Idiot.

Bottleneck is negligible.

Seriously.
That word gets tossed around so much.
Half you idiots don't even know what it applies to.

It's an '06 pre built. Don't judge me. It was $100.

Ok, at 100 bucks it is reasonable.

Yes poni they DO have an easier time on consoles. My bad on the peice/peace thing, but its called a typo. Half of the internet is bad websites. You can get viruses pretty easily. Like emulaters but I got virus portection so Im good. Console hard drives dont break as easily. Building a PC is easy, but I rather just have the PC ready for me to work without have to build it myself

Keep being mean... It proves that your "master race" are just baised. Say the same to me, but atleast im giving it a fair chance for both PC and console.

You're new to using a PC.
I use a free anti-virus and malwarebytes, and i haven't gotten a thing detected in months...

that is because console plebs dont go online to talk about it.
That is because there are more PCs than console
and lastly, that is because there are more PC brands.
