The PC is more than capable of playing all games, and it is perfectly possible to connect PC games to a TV via Steam. Consoles are completely obsolete.

P sure consoles are cheaper

PCs are just way to blackmail an extra $700 out of the consumer

See how stupid it sounds?

First off, this.

Second, saying PC can play all games is false. That's one of the main draws to consoles. I couldn't imagine not playing the dozens of Switch/PS4 exclusives.

Honestly the last couple years almost all of the of the best games released on both the Switch and PS4 have been first party. If games need to be first party to be good, and not filled to the brim with loot box gambling, then so be it.

Except some people don't know how to "build" gaming PCs, upgrading/changing parts and/or how to diagnose what is actually wrong if something happens.

Consoles are practically plug and play, ill happily pay for the convenience they bring vs PC.

Spending $300-500 every 5+ or so years doesn't seem too unreasonable.

I'm not very familiar with PC gaming, but I'd imagine eventually you'd have to spend quite a bit to update graphics, etc. to make newer games run well.

Can a PC made in 2013 run newly released 2018 games without any updates or added expenses?

$300 was a huge amount of money to me when I was a kid

Now it's less than a week's worth of a pay, lmao

300 dollar console every 5 years vs having to buy a 2000 dollar gaming computer every 5 years

hmm i wonder which one makes more sense financially to invest in?

This topic isn't about the inability to pay, it is about the sleaziness and pointlessness of it. And if you are only netting $300 of disposable income a week, you are poor as fuck.

I'd rather spend $300 on a console than spending $3000 on a PC that can run hentai flash games on max settings tbh.

Everyone who considers themselves enough of a gamer to care about this debate in the first place does.

I know this thread is bait, but:
I would love to have a pc. I really would. Not just for gaming, but I am also a musician and would like to record my music as well. Prices are just really high and they keep climbing higher :(.

Also, in comparison to consoles, I bought my ps4 for like $200 a couple years ago and have been able to play all the recent releases I have wanted with no issues whatsoever. Cant do that shit with a computer.
