You know that you can buy multiple different consoles, don't you? You do realize that these companies aren't going to do anything special because you simp for them on message boards, right?

I saw this post on the PS5 board and this is the kind of shit Gamers say all the time

Ahh, common. Everyone wants to get the PS5. If it was widely available it would just crush any past console in sales. I think alot of people are shitting their pants knowing how popular the PS5 might become.

They are so afraid they have seemingly activated a whole botnet to spread anti-PS5 propaganda around to try to impact it negatively. However, the PS5 is a juggernaut.

I understand debating over your preferences, that's one thing, but why are people like this. I'm shitting my pants over the thought of people buying a thing that I also have equal capability to buy

Because as a kid you don't get that luxury. Your parents buy you one console and that's it, and that mentality persists into adulthood.

Kids like to argue.

Adults like to debate.

Fanboys like to troll.

Switch is objectively the best console since it had a large number of console exclusives that arent on PC. With a gaming PC and a switch you can play most modern games

got a switch recently and i agree with this

i still don't like most exclusives, but at least it has things i'm interested in. ps5 has nothing exclusive i want, except like maybe demon's souls remake, and i didn't like the original enough to rebuy at full price anyways

switch has three houses, smash, gnosia, and rf4 special (which i did like enough to rebuy at full price), which already makes it worth it for me

I just want something to play the next gen of games on. If people like PC then more power to them, but I think they oversell it as the definitive option. I could spend in the $1000 neighborhood and up for something with more customization and power, or spend $500 on something that's meant to just work with its respective games and does a good enough job performance and graphics wise (most of the time). I like sitting on the couch and playing with a controller anyway. Yes I know you can do with a PC, but it's more effort (especially if I use that PC for other things), and if I'm gonna replicate the console experience I might as well just get a console.

or you could spend $500 every couple years and have a rig with customization and power, only replacing parts that need to be replaced and not bothering with top of the line stuff

console gamers really overstate PC costs in the long run compared to buying a new console every couple years

This is how I feel about digital vs physical, yet people get fuckin' riled over it. Can't have the best of both, gotta pick a side and fight hard to prove your preference is objectively the best.

I admit I don't know much about PC gaming but when I look at parts they don't seem affordable at all to me. I would need at minimum a new processor and GPU to play a lot of modern/upcoming stuff on my PC and when I look for stuff that I think is decent but not super high end, a lot of it is easily $300+. That's the price of some consoles plus you have to think of the initial cost of the PC

I think if you got some good components before the crypto boom and maybe you only needed to replace one thing recently as a result, it makes them seem like a much better value, but I can't picture how starting new right now or making several replacements is more enticing than a console

When did you put that $200 in though?

If someone can point me to a CPU + GPU combo that's like $300 and will run most games that come out in the next ~5 years, I'd consider doing an upgrade, but I find it highly unlikely that's possible

Plus switch portability gives it a niche a gaming PC or other consoles can't fill. It was great being able to play Witcher 3 on the bus and then transfer my save to my PC.

It even seems most console exclusive come to PC eventually.

Almost impossible right now with gpu shortage, but if you could get your hands on an rtx 3060 you'd be able to play just about anything that comes out the next 5 years

I like having a Switch and a PC. I'm sure if I ever reach a point of having too much money kicking around, I'd have a Playstation too.

I just grew up on Nintendo so will always love their games. Then a PC provides the additional diversity of games. Then you already have too much to play. "Console Wars" is typical fake journalism schlock that works great for engaging teenagers and immature adults.

If you can afford more than one console - that's really good for you! But most people have to choose. I don't like Xbox for reasons of my own, so I plan to eventually buy a PS5. Also - there are really no exclusives that I have to purchase an Xbox for, so...there is no war to me. I've met enough people who only play Xbox, and I don't dislike them - but they are mainly real casual players, so...

I'll stick with my friends discussing the whys and why nots - no need to fight a message board about it. lol.

You can still building a gaming pc better than consoles for less than a ps5 (assuming you pay retail price)
