Re: Why I think PCs are not as good as people claim they are

So, many people feel as though PC dominates the gaming market and many very ignorant people feel as though it is far superior to anything else out there. And while I think PCs are DEFINITELY more powerful than the 8 year old hardware of the 360 and PS3, that is still no justification on whether a PC is better than the consoles.

I do not believe that PCs are better. Why? Because of one thing. one HUGE thing:

1) The price- Price is everything to consumers. If something is too expensive for what they are worth, people won't buy it. Simple as. And this is the reason as to why PCs are not better, well, at least not for me.

Even though the xbox and PS3 both run 8 year old hardware, and are being sold at like less than two hundred pounds now, a PC which can run this easily scales up to five hundred just to get the SAME QUALITY VISUALS as a console. On top of this, because you are only getting current gen visuals, once the next consoles come out, you are probably going to have to upgrade anyway (and that will be even more expensive) in order to keep up. If you consistently try to get the highest quality visuals in games and nothing more, you are probably going to have to upgrade every year now, because console games will start getting better graphics once the limitations of the next generation consoles are fully realised. This means thousands of dollars/pounds goes down the drain just to keep up. If you want a computer that doesn't really need upgrading, that will easily set you back more than 1500 dollars/ pounds. For an alternative that is 80% cheaper than PCS, consoles are far better. There are also no issues when it comes with actually running the game, as all games are tailor made to that specific console and everyone has the same model, so there will be minimal issues. But with PCs, that is a whole other story.

Now, for those who can easily spend thousands on a computer, they have every right to criticise the consoles, but as a whole, not many people have that sort of money.

And to top it off, the visuals on consoles are fine anyway. I don't even know why people are that bothered.

So for me, that is why I feel that consoles are a much better alternative than PCS.

Macs are overpriced, and aren't really made for hardcore gaming anyway.

The starting point of a PS3 is £149. Try and make a gaming computer with that.

A next generation PS4 will be around the £300 pounds price range (The CEO of PlayStation said it himself I believe), which for the same price, would get you a PC which is significantly inferior. Why? Because unlike a PC, a PS3 is specifically for games, so they don't have to waste money adding other crap. It makes sense for consoles to be significantly cheaper. So don't tell me they are more expensive.

You have given absolutely no reason to not believe that a £300 PC is going to play as good as even current gen systems.

Yet you have given absolutely no reason for your logic besides making yourself look like an undignified ass. Good job.
