The downside is there's no reason to buy it.
1.) There is, you've been given them
2.) The reason you're ignorantly claiming that you can play them on a cheaper last gen console or on my pc

So is it about the games like you tried to claim with Nintendo or is it about the console?

Consoles have NEVER been the most power for your money. I highly doubt that will be starting here.

The ps3 was literally the cheapest bluray player and was one of the cheapest ways to build super computers.

It's about the games, like I said. If I'm a big Xbox fan and I have the Xbone X, why would I feel the need to get this for some incremental upgrade that plays the same games?

Same reason a lot of gamers went from their original Xbone/S to the X.

It's not about you, it's about the average consumer who wants more power but doesn't want to deal with the cost and setup of PC gaming. I really don't see what's so difficult to understand about this.

"Why would I buy a Toyota when a Lexus is so much better?!"

Cause it's cheaper and does most of the same shit

i disagree, pc gaming is especially expensive these days due to GPU prices and there is an element of work involved (the build/setup is a lot more involved to the average joe than internet people think it is). plus with it you have to buy a lot of stuff that is only applicable to the PC (monitor, peripherals, speakers/headphones, etc) whereas the console works with the TV everyone already has anyway. i enjoy PC gaming but i dont see why anyone but PC enthusiasts or very hardcore gamers obsessed with performance/precision would get into it

the only way console gaming is cheaper is if you buy one console and just never upgrade when the new generation comes out, don't buy any additional accessories like controllers and headsets, don't play online, don't buy games at launch/full price, yes. and thats only if we're comparing it to some guy thats running games at max settings.

there's plenty to get out of pc gaming beyond graphics when you have so many diverse modding communities. then theres emulation which hardly requires a beefed up rig.

PC gaming for AAA games will never be as accessible as they are on consoles. It's really not complicated to understand.

Most people don't even know what GPU stands for.

No, because you're not even accounting for other factors like natural population growth as well.

no, it's not especially when it comes to casuals vs hardcore gamers and easy plug-in-and-play boxes vs complicated setups.

at least that's the excuse that seems to be parroted around everywhere for console vs pc including the original person i quoted.

Most pc gamers in China play at pc cafes ,which is even easier than plug and play and they play shit like pubg and this nearly 2 decade old game with 300 mil users

So your argument is literally solely that because one country, where PC gaming got a 15-year head-start on console gaming, and the types of games and the specific games they like to play are far more readily available on PC than on consoles, and didn't immediately start massively adopting console gaming when it became available, then PC must be "superior" to console?

Okay.

In china, going to the net cafe. Which if you had any cultural awareness you'd understand why. But you don't, because you have no clue why pc gaming is popular in china and why bringing it up argues the exact opposite of the point you're trying to make.

Uh no, you literally only posted an article in response to that that only discusses how China's PC gaming population continues to grow (which no shit it would and does), and didn't even comment on it. That's not "excellent reasoning" it's borderline not doing anything.

Also the fucking funniest thing is that "PC enthusiast" literally describes China's gaming community to a T.

I pointed out that one of the reasons PC gaming is so popular is because China banned the sales of consoles from 2000 to 2015 (which encompassed two entire console generations and the beginnings of a third), so anyone who wanted to game either had to illegally acquire a console, buy a PC, or go to a PC Cafe.

Your response to that was this:
AsucaHayashi posted...


but if consoles are "so" great, the opposite should have happened and not keep growing and growing and growing.

Which of course straight up says you think PC gaming is superior, because your answer to your 'argument' here of "If the consoles are better, why does PC gaming keep growing?" is "Because PC gaming is superior, of course".

You're just ignoring literally everything that goes against your narrative and even others are calling you out for it, so you should really quit before you further continue to embarrass yourself.

or maybe it's because consoles aren't really as great as all the arguments out there are claiming which is part of the reason it isn't really growing in china.
