| I bought a PS4 back when it launched. I basically bought a $400 gaming pc with a closed OS. That was my choice. If you would rather play on Windows and spend %150 more then go for it. I have no issue with that. I sacrifice being stuck on a closed Operating System so I can sell or trade in my games when I decide to get new ones. I don't need something to play older games since I already have a pc capable of playing anything last gen and before, but my pc can't run these newer games that well. It's all a matter of preference and what fits your needs and wants. Some people have room to hook a pc up to their television. Some people find it easier to hook a PS4. Some people really love Halo and want Xbox 720p. And Nintendo fans, do you realize Nintendo franchises have been around longer than Call of Duty. Isn't it time Nintendo makes something new? I guess you like Mario though so enjoy the Wii U. I am interested to see how steam box works out. It really will remove any inconvenience of hooking up a gaming pc to a television because you won't need a mouse and keyboard to navigate the OS. Alienware is releasing a nice one this holiday for $549. |

"%150 of the price of a PC"
Plenty of computer builds for $400/$500 are at least 3x more powerful than a PS4.
if PoniSpai was online, he'd prove my point. |

| Chev, the average pc being hooked up to my television would be an inconvenient set up in my room given my space and funiture. |

rad pc games cost less than console versions that 150$ would go down the drain with less than 4 games where you can get around 40-50 pc games easily.

| ieye, there is no $500 pc that will run a game 3 times better than a Playstation 4. You might beat the PS4's performance on some games if you spend about $550. Fact is, most people need to buy windows so that adds $100 right there. Might get that cheaper if you are lucky and knock down the price. |

| Gingka, I prefer to play games when they come out. I can a game when it comes out on a console and spend way less money out of my pocket because I can just trade or sell the old game I have and don't play anymore. |

| You point at one game. I can also point at how I traded in a few games and walked out of Gamestop with a used copy of Battlefield 4 and a paid off pre-order of Watch Dogs. I only spent $4.17. |

| One man's trash is another man's treasure. All though calling Battlefield 4 a treasure is a great misuse of that word. LOL |

In the end it is dumb, because it's just one big pissing contest.
What makes it even worse is that people reiterate facts that should be common knowledge in the gaming community.
They never shut up about how the Wii U is underpowered, difficulty with 1080p/60fps on the Xbox One, how a 400$ PC "easily" outperforms the PS4, etc...

| Why does FPS even matter? Gamers make themselves sound like nine year olds on Call of Duty going "360noScop3TrikSHotDudeLOL" when they talk about 'ram' and 'FPS.' |
