"Before you buy a console, think about getting a computer instead."
That is what I've been telling people who want to buy a console.
**BASED ON A RECENT CONVERSATION WITH A FRIEND THAT WAS CONSIDERING TO BUY A CONSOLE OVER BUILDING/ BUYING A PC/LAPTOP.**
ADVANTAGES OF CONSOLES:
- family friendly multiplayer/ or not very family friendly lol - easier to control games - harder for criminals to grab your info - tbh that's all the advantages i could think of.
ADVANTAGES FOR PC/LAPTOPS:
- you wouldn't have to pay for memberships that would be gone before you even blink - more recent sales than consoles - school work/etc. - more possibilities to play with friends - more ways to communicate - less online problems (from what I've experienced) - fully "customizable" to your likings - sure you could play roblox but it wouldn't be the full experience. If you've played the XBOX ONE version before, you would know what I mean. - allows you to change graphics settings - less cost over a period of time - MANY MORE OPPORTUNITIES! TRUST ME!
Sure they're some PC/LAPTOP disadvantages too but I would consider buying it over a console.
At the end of the day, its up to you.
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD ON OR YOU THINK I MADE AN ERROR, PLEASE REPLY BELOW! THANKS A LOT!

| First of all, a computer wiz said that computers are specially designed for gaming, work, computing, with a superiority in ### ## ### ####### A computer can double as multiple, but most aren't good for it. I had a gaming PC that cant even play Command and Conquer(Red alert 3). You can change graphics settings because PC is so wide ranged that you can end up playing a PC game on a weak PC or a Powerful one, and graphics settings can be modified to assure compatibility. Consoles are much cheaper, with a good, new model costing $300, or if you want a power gaming console, you can pay $4-500 but only $300 is necessary. Most people say a decent PC cost over $500. Consoles have more of the Legit games, and Controllers are that much better than keyboard and mouse, and believe me, I screwed up Whatever Floats your Boat because of a confusing keyboard. |

To all of the one person still believing that we can't get our hands on any "exclusive" we want. We have emulators.
I'm just here to crush dreams. |

"to have a good PC and the current nintendo console" What about Sony? Their consoles have better games than Nintendo
"We have emulators." Emulators still suck compared to the actual consoles from this gen and last gen. A lot of people can't even run Super Mario Sunshine smoothly on a PC

""to have a good PC and the current nintendo console" What about Sony? Their consoles have better games than Nintendo" Yes, but Sony themselves are poor. All are third party. Nintendo's first party games are exclusive and they match or exceed third party games. Mario Kart is among if not THE best racing game/games of all time, and its not dead either.
""We have emulators." Emulators still suck compared to the actual consoles from this gen and last gen. A lot of people can't even run Super Mario Sunshine smoothly on a PC" First time I agree with you kid. In addition, the use of given software can be a lawsuit worthy offense to the ROM provider and did you know that you can't even upload gameplay videos of Nintendo games to youtube without being copyright claimed? (You have to get a license or permission to do so) |

"Emulators still suck compared to the actual consoles from this gen and last gen. A lot of people can't even run Super Mario Sunshine smoothly on a PC"
Obviously, you are not going to have XBOX ONE or PS4 emulators if you are including as you refer it as this gen and last gen. If you are talking about Nintendo exclusively, I can kind of agree.
However, there are reliable Nintendo emulators going all the way up to Wii. CEMU also exists and can play a few commercial Wii U titles. There are also decent PS1 ###w############ emulator. RPCS3 is making lots of progress, some PS3 games are already playable, though very taxing on CPU.
If a person can't run Super Mario Sunshine on PC smoothly, either his hardware is really outdated or just plain awful or both. An i3 4170 and a GTX 750 Ti can easily handle it at 1080p with texture packs. Any computer that can't handle it is not really worth using for gaming anyway. I've seen people run it on way worse CPUs just fine, particularly on something as low as AMD Phenom II x6 1090t which is 7 years old It would have made more sense if you referred to Wii games and even then, a modern i3 processor like say an i3 6100 can handle most Wii games fine. |

I'm straight-up tired of seeing threads related to how PCs are superior to consoles or vice versa that easily belong in the recycle bin of your computer. Like seriously, who cares about its advantages or disadvantages? If anything, just compare PCs to Macs or consoles to other consoles, but don't ever bring up those two to comparison.

I disagree, my PC can run newer games fine. I can play most games on ultra settings at 60 fps

Do note that even though CPU does not matter that much for gaming, it still has to be decent for a rig to run properly and any half-decent CPU can emulate Gamecube fine and from the looks of it, yours will definitely work too. |

Yeah, that's right. My CPU is rather lacking these days so that may be why
