Your right about those points I just don't care to mess with pc gaming I'm glad you like pc gaming. The Xbox series x is with me Besides Microsoft is going towards the pc road. Pretty soon they will not be making consoles or need to. Its already getting that close to those days. Microsoft is a software and computer technology company so they have the power to make the Xbox gaming brand full pc essential if they wanted to and probably will Thst something sony will never do. And thats all truth Be great
@@JayPatrol lol 😂 that’s funny. Yeah man I was a die hard Xbox gamer my whole life. My other “console vs PC video” describes this a little more. The whole reason I switched to PC was because of Microsoft’s support for the PC platform. I like making my gaming machine mine. I like making it themed and personal. So a PC allows me to do this. Plus I get to keep playing my favorite Xbox games. It’s a win/win.
Pc gaming is not for everyone especially the average consumer are not going to buy a pc for gaming like people in the pc gaming community this basically for those that want a gaming pc and build one. But to the average consumer will just own a regular computer and maybe a game console. And most people don't care to play a game on a keyboard Pcs are nice but i myself don't care to game on a computer.
I have actually moved away from PC gaming recently. I have been a pc gamer for more than a decade but fell out of gaming over the last year or so even though I have a fairly decent gaming laptop (for my work). My issue is that I do programming for 8-10 hours a day and after I come home, I don’t want to even look at a PC again. I recently purchased a PS5 and it has rekindled my love for gaming. The greatest benefit is couch gaming. Sitting in front of my TV with the option to instantly get on with game is a huge bonus. I’m willing to pay extra for games if that means I have the convenience of not worrying about frame rates or graphics settings and instantly playing my game. Another factor is that not everyone lives in the US and the PC parts market has gone to absolute trash, especially for Europe where we have to pay 20-30% extra plus higher VAT. This would still be digestible if the state of PC ports wasn’t so bad these days. Also I’d rather pay Sony extra money than use the absolute horseshit that is Windows (more than I already have to for work). Windows is a huge pain in the ass and I don’t want to deal with it in my free time. I get that you are trying to make a case for PC gaming but it’s not like PC gaming doesn’t have any downsides. There are real practical advantages that consoles offer besides first party games, which is why the PS5 has sold more than 50 million at this point. People are willing to pay for convenience and consoles offer exactly that, convenience.
I've been using PC and consoles and the points I usually don't see are "stability" and "user friendly". Since consoles are mostly used for gaming, you're two actions away from getting in your game. Games are locked at a specific frame rate to have a stable experience, on PC you need to try different configurations for your specific hardware; I love doing all the troubleshooting on PC and becoming better and better at using my PCs full potential, but that's not for the most casual gamers
When I was a kid I was also two actions away from getting in my games. Realizing that I could tweak settings and make my own configurations came way later, I didn't even know what options menus were. I don't understand where this idea comes from, casual PC gamers don't tweak, they just start a game and play like a console user. This stuff is optional, not forced. PC games are also usually just put at a low, medium or high config depending on the hardware the game detects and framerates are usually locked to your refresh rate by default, i.e. 60 fps or 30 fps (depending on game performance, double buffering is the most common option games use by default) for the vast majority of people. It's not like there's zero optimization here
that's what i like doing sometimes, when it's to ez to play the game for 45 min and get bored, but when i have to configure and suffer to find fixes for performance i usually stay hours doing so, which brings me the most fun even when playing the game at a lower FPS
@@ThornskadeNah man, my last console was a ps2 so i have been a pc player for very long, and let me tell you it aint rly that optional. On pc most games are not really that well optimized and some are even complete trash on optimization, meaning shitty or subpar performance on a quite powerful pc. And most games dont offer a easy experience for optimization, on xbox or ps5 you choose framerate and play... On pc you need to open a fps monitor, check which preset offers a stable performance and maybe thats it, if you run into stutters you gotta search wtf is up, if its vram usage, ram, cpu, drivers, if its the game, a specific setting maybe, etc... There is also micro stutters, crashes, errors, updates messing shit up, file corruption, things of which if u unlucky enough might rly fk with ur enjoyment. Honestly not a pc or console is for everyone... You gotta see what fits u. Pc is good if u have the money to build a very powerful one, and u can also get games for insanely cheap. Ps5/xbox series are good if u want something cheap yet powerful, and a more relaxing plug and play experience. There is also handhelds, like the rog ally, steam deck, legion go (just to name the big brands), which offer much weaker performance than a console or even a low budget pc, but offer a portability and chance to play short burst that no other thing can come close, also its great for ppl who travel a lot. Really not one of them is the best, but the best for your use case scenario/what you want
@@XxViperMortalxX Again you're describing things that are completely optional. I spent my entire childhood on PC and literally never tweaked any graphics settings so I know full well this is not and was never a necessity. This is double think where when a console game is poorly optimized, stutters or has low framerates you just accept it because you can't do anything about it. On PC you can do something about it, but to claim it's required is blatantly false
As a console gamer (PS5) I greatly appreciate these types of videos. The arguments of customization and long term savings really make me want to switch. If I can clear that initial cost hurdle, I'll be sure to enjoy it.
This is not a comment I see everyday lol. Most console gamers want to argue why I’m wrong lol. Hardware is getting cheaper thankfully. PC is getting the next Gen stuff starting today actually. So later this fall, the current hardware will only get cheaper.
@@ErockOnTech hardware has always been cheap since the 2000's when i had my very first pc. the issue recently has been crypto currencies, that is what made pc parts like GPU go up. the miners where profiting of that, and would buy out a high percentage of the supplies. increasing the prices up to 4x or more msrp. now that Ethereum is no longer profitable, it is a great time for new pc users to build their machines.
Just switched over to pc from series x and i’m already hooked! Not just in the gaming aspect, but the customization. Decking out my rig, wallpaper engine, high resolution/high frame rate gaming, indie titles. I have a ps5 too mostly for exclusives, but i’m glad I made the switch.
I dont know whats going on. But im seeing alot of people that went from PC to series X going back to PC from the series X. Let me ask what happen between launch and now that's making people switch.
@@DETERMINOLOGY PC is just better. More options for peripherals, graphics, frame rate. Having a series X if you have a PC is pretty much pointless because you can play any game that you would originally play on the xbox; but with better graphics and frame rate. Now that selected Playstation exclusives will be coming to PC too there’s no real reason for me to own a ps5 anymore either. My RTX 3080 and 5900x handle anything I throw at them. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to play on either of the new consoles, but for me specifically I wanted a platform with unlimited options. I was shocked at how much cheaper the games are on PC as well.
i have an xbox one s and a ps5, i could sell them and get probably around $700. that would be a huge help in building a pc but haven’t considered keeping the ps5. how often do you use it? i only got mine about 6 months ago and i love it, but pretty bored of the games it has to offer. plus my friends are on xbox and pc is a lot more cross play friendly
Well some games. I am still severely disappointed at the sheer lack of moddable games after switching to pc. That's what I wanted more than the performance increase
For me it's the reverse, I went from PC to console. My PS5 just works, the games just run, no crashes, no constant driver updates, no errors, games just run 99 percent of the time and whenever a new game comes out I can just buy it knowing it will all work by just putting in the disc with no more effort. As I got older, sometimes I just wanted to come home and turn on my system and play games, not tinker with settings not do constant debugging, not worry about drivers, controllers and headphones suddenly disconnecting, not to mention the various problems with windows itself. And then comes the cost, especially in a 3rd world country like mine, for me there's absolutely no comparison, console all the way, cause I just want to play games at the end of the day, and Playstation also has great exclusives for which I won't have to wait years for a PC port which is not always guaranteed, also so many bad ports come out on PC, developers clearly put console first, and also most online games that people play these days are free like Apex, Rocket league, warzone and fortnite and for these you don't need to pay for ps plus, also you can buy pre owned discs and sell your discs to save money, I bought ragnarok day 1 and sold it in a week after completion getting back 90 percent of my money, also I can pin youtube videos and other stuff with my game on screen on PS5 seamlessly maybe research before saying we can't? But hey if you have time and money then sure go ahead with a PC.
@@otam5865 you forgot : the case, windows 10 / 11 version, adds another 150-200 and now you have a super shitty PC that maybe runs like a ps4 but not even close to the speeds and perfomance of a ps5 thats even more expensive , not to mention that the prices you list are completly pulled out of ur stinky butthole, in reality decent parts that you mentioned cost way more than that.
The hardest part is getting over that initial hump of the price on PC. Once you do that, you quite literally open yourself up to "unchained" gaming with no limits (unless of course, devs do that for you unfortunately) You can certainly still keep a console around if you prefer like I have done but every day I look at it and realize it's been months since I've used it. I'd say either save up for a PC if you need to or get one if you can afford one because you will NOT regret it.
I like the “unchained” idea. That’s a good way of looking at it for sure in my opinion. The problem I had when I was a console gamer was I couldn’t see the chains on me. But after being on PC for over 3 years now I can see all the freedom I have. It’s truly wonderful.
@@ErockOnTech It's very eye opening that first time you come over from Console for sure. Now if only developers would give us more true PC games instead of console ports, looking at you and your 60fps caps From Software.
Upon closer examination, the textures on the PC are still clearer than on consoles. you can see this in dozens of games. For me, the quality of graphics is the main thing.
@@countrifried And don’t forget that consoles play mainly on a TV and not on a monitor, the clarity of a monitor is higher than that of a TV. Also, some people sometimes select the wrong hardware when the processor and video card are not suitable.
@@сергей7-к7ш PC gaming on a LGC3 is better than any monitor imo. The quality is comparable the extra visual features on the TV make the picture pop. Not just that, but the biggest reason is the interpolation feature. I tried looking for a monitor that had it and none did. People don't like it in general but on a TV like this it's flawless. No artifacts or lag on any visual feature. It's way better than Frame Gen, lossless scaling, and that FS3 mod with Frame gen. Free frames without using any PC resources.
@@SmoothSportsGaming No TV can compare with a monitor. The monitor is specially designed for hours of gaming and the TV will simply burn out, it is designed for a maximum of 2 hours without rest. Image quality is always better on a monitor due to the higher pixel density and smaller screen.
@@сергей7-к7ш A good OLED is comparable. CRT screens are the only ones that are on another level. On the CRU app for changing resolutions they have presets and the only one that has a crazy pixel count is the CRT Either way, I prefer free frames, special visual features, and great movement over a slightly better picture native picture. I've seen ghosting on a lot of monitors so motion isnt always better on them.
From my experience, console gaming is better for casual gamers as it is much easier and way more affordable. For hardcore gamers, yes, PC is superior but it comes with cost and time doing your research. You also have to be ready to fix anything yourself, you are on your own. In most cases you will be fine, but games tend to crash a lot more on PC compared to consoles. For me I go with PC gaming as I am familiar with it, but it is not for everyone.
Early on I had some game crashes. But the more I learned about PC tuning and optimization, the less my games crash. The part about fixing it yourself is actually a benefit in my opinion. When my Xbox got the red ring of death, I had to send it in and wait. I had no idea when I would get it back. That was annoying.
@@ErockOnTechErockOnDeck I see where you are coming from, great video anyways. Just my point for some people it is better for them just to buy a console, but yeah objectively speaking, the PC experience is unmatched.
I own a pc and I agree with you in everything, in my opinion the only difference is that when you get old and work hard after a whole day you don't want to sit at the computer and play games. I think that's the only way I give the console an advantage, you come home, lie down on the couch, turn it on and play. :D
I build my pc about 6 month ago, I haven’t touched my ps5 ever since. I do think these new consoles are excellent, but pc is ahead in so many ways. And now add a steamdeck to the mix, and even handheld consoles are outclassed. But regardless, for some reason, I always buy any new console that releases lol. But PC is my go to once the hype for a new console dies down.
Why PC better than console? -We can build our own PC based on preference and finance - Easy to repair and service - no subscription - customizable such as water cooling or custom loop or use heat sink -widest game library -fully backward compatibility -least worry - only upgrade when necessary or when ready and we can upgrade part by part based on budget. - many peripheral such as mouse keyboard for FPS game, controller for RPG, driving wheel and pedal for racing car and etc. -VR support -Can use for working and many purpose - cheaper games and even free game - big community
I've always played on consoles, my last one was a PS4. But earlier this year, I built a PC... and it's just INSANE! Free online, mods, cheaper games, accuracy of keyboard and mouse for FPS games and other genres, emulators and I can do other things than just gaming.
Yes! You are 100% correct! I was a die hard console only gamer for the majority of my life. I switched to PC a little over 3 years ago now and I haven’t looked back.
I swapped over to PC first for the hobby of the build in 2013. Started with air cooled Intel processor and AMD GPU. Then went to full water loop not long afterwards in 2014 and have upgraded a few times since then. Built one of my kids a PC from my old parts. I love the expandability of PC and unlimited gaming. I've also sold parts several times as well to do upgrades. We still have consoles in our home for my kids and I occasionally play on consoles as well. I'm so glad PS has released games to PC the last few years.
I agree. I love having PS games on PC. It’s how it should be in my opinion. I also love the building process. I love seeing the PC come together. It’s a fun hobby.
Some corrections I’d like to point out. 1. Free games like Fortnite don’t require a subscription service to play online, however needing it for paid games still exist. 2. You can shop on gamestop & easily find a physical copy cheaper than you would on pc which prices are heavily dependent on when the platform decides to lower it. Additionally, Walmart tends to do $10 off for new game releases. 3. Unsure about xbox however the ps5 allows you to put RU-vid, your friend’s broadcast, and apps to the side. Every other point I agree with fully
1. Is correct today. That was not always true. But noted. 2. Physical games are cheaper eventually. But that takes time. Pre-orders and day 1 games are still cheaper on PC 9 times out of 10. Plus, less and less people are buying physical media. If you have a Xbox Series S or PS5 digital, physical media prices don’t help you. 3. Xbox does not allow for this. This is the first I’ve heard about the PS5 doing that.
@@ErockOnTech his point about games getting cheaper over time but not right away could also be said in your argument for playstation games coming to pc, they are coming to pc but when? not right away, the the best looking games in the world are probably on ps5 but not on pc yet and when they are finally on pc the ps5 has newer better looking games again. pc players can brag about playing horizon zero dawn better then it ever looked while ps5 players are playing horizon 2. spiderman is on pc and much better then it was on ps4 but the game is 6 years old and spider-man 2 is coming to ps5. last of us 2 still top 5 looking games right now where is that on pc. yes when they get to pc they will be the best but some people might want to play the best looking state of the art looking games while they are fresh and not years later and pc does not give that yet. i am pc player stopped console after ps3 but playing the best looking games when they are new and fresh is not the same as playing them years later when their sequel which is better looking again is about to drop on console
@@DrLoomis666 a game is either good or not. It doesn’t matter if it’s “6 years old” or not. Also, you’re assuming Horizon 2 will take just as long to come to PC. The majority of the PS games on PC today were exclusive to PS4 at a time when Sony wasn’t even considering PC ports. But Jim Ryan confirmed that PlayStstion is committed to bringing more games to PC. Also, he confirmed that PlayStation will get into more live service games. He then confirmed those games will be available on PC day 1. Only the single player games will be exclusive to the PS5 for a limited time. There are tons of beautiful looking games on PC… also looks are subjective. This is true with all things in life. I might think something looks good and you don’t. Or vice versa. So the whole “best looking games on PS5” argument is purely subjective.
@@ErockOnTech is game is either good or not is bullshit,, thr gta games on ps2 are amazing at the time they are not so great today,, I'm not saying those ps4 games that are on pc are not amazing today yet are but what I'm saying is they are more amazing on realese because visually games are a product of their time,, the industry is always trying to push new and better looking visuals over time so spiderman most likely will not look as good as spiderman 2 just like horizon zero dawn does not look as good as horizon forbidden west,,, can you pay horizon forbidden West on pc when it was new and state of the art? No but you might get the chance to play it 3 or 4 years down the road when newer games have surpassed it visually, so far pc is getting these games 2 or 3 years later,, some people don't want to play the last of us 2 when the last of us 3 is about to come out, the facts remain all third party games will be better in pc but id people want to play the best looking newest state is the art looking games at that time they need a ps5 and that's always been the case,, there is a reason Sony has them locked down to console on release and later available to pc because is they were available on pc from the start ps5 sales would dip down,, theres no ifs or buts about it,, miles morales came to pc 2 years after release that's 2 whole years,, demon souls remake still not pc port,, last of us 2 no port, until dawn,, bloodboune,, horizon forbidden west no port when the dlc is coming to ps5, the best looking games are on ps5, u can't play any pc game that visuals or animations match horizon forbidden West or last of us 2, its not subjective at all
@@DrLoomis666 Some games age better than others. But newer games age better because of better technology. PS games that are 4 years old today, will still look good in another 4 years. They will age better than PS2 games. Our technology has come a long way. Also, PC has something console doesn't. Mods. PC gamers regularly mod their games to add visual enhancements. So we are fine.
Couch co op is almost dead on console. It’s been dying for years. Also, you can connect your PC to a tv just like a console. You can use a controller just like a console. I know because that’s what I do. It works and plays great. Sports games are available on PC. Who cares where they sell better? Not sure how that’s relevant at all.
I have a 3080ti PC, Steam Deck, PS5 and a Switch...... The PS5 and the Switch are collecting dust. I only use my PC and my Steam Deck for mobility and travel. Great video.
This console generation is particularly bad. Lack of exclusives and 4k 30fps on most games for good graphics is really bad. Even if you turn on performance settings, the graphics are much worse.
Another thing about PC is that you can run emulators and play any console only game you want. I made my own game files from games I've bought back in the PS1 and 2 days. With the right stuff you can even use retro controllers to play your retro games. If you have retro pc games you can easily set up a virtual machine with the OS that ran those games in the past and play them pretty easily.
@@ErockOnTech I know the video is old but I also wanted to mention you can play Nintendo Switch games through emulation on PC too. So no need to even buy a switch as a secondary device.
Man, I’ve been PC gaming since 2012 and have enjoyed over 12 years of endless support for PC gaming. Back then, you had a few hundred PC players, but now a-days, you have thousands of people making the switch because they see all of these advantages that PC offers.
The only things that attracts me as a console gamer are mods and emulation but mostly emulation because i LOVE old games but the problem for me is knowing which parts that i need to build the pc that i want, i've been learning about pc months ago but i still don't feel like i'm ready to migrate plus the fact that pc is getting bad ports of games lately.
Grew up with consoles and PC through the 80s and 90s. Owned most major consoles through these years (apart from SNES, which wasn't very popular in UK) and I was lucky enough to have a shared family PC throughout this time too. Last console my parents got me was the PS2 in around 2001. Then, I purchased my very first gaming PC around 2004 (pentium 4 beast😅), which I mainly used for strategy games like Rome: Total war. By the time I got a PS3 my PC was a bit long in the tooth for newer games so I switched to just the PS3 from 2007 to about 2013. Then I got back into PCs again and would build a new PC every 3 years or so. I was very happy with my current Rig and I still am, a 3080ti paired with i9 11900k. But then I played The last of us Part 1 (remake) on PC and fell in love with it so hard for a second time, first time was on the Ps3 back in 2013. It made me want to play Part 2 so much and im not willing to wait 2 years for it to be ported to PC. So I purchased a PS5 last week and TLOU2 (ps4 version). Can't believe I dropped over £500 to play a game😂. To be fair, I have since purchased a few ps4 and ps5 exclusives that you can't get on PC yet. So it's not too bad. Shadow of colossus remake (owned the original on PS3 but never played it, Horizon Forbidden west and Ghost of Tshumo to name a few. Best of both worlds I guess.😅
I've grown a little out of PC gaming after acquiring a PS5 and a Switch. I didn't get the Xbox because what's the reason if I have a PC? It's basically the same platform. But now my PC is for competitive FPS, RTS and isometric games in general, which are better with a mouse and keyboard. Anyway, if I have to be honest, I'm having the most fun on my consoles.
No problem. Gaming is meant to have fun. Everyone enjoys different things. If you have more fun on a console then that’s cool. After making my 2 videos on this subject, I think I’m done with it. I’ve also come to realize that not everyone should be on PC. Some people really should just stick to console gaming. That is totally fine.
@@ecstakeen1359 I used to do that too. It breaks immersion and leads you to staying on your phone and not gaming. Been there. Done that. Let’s not pretend it’s the same thing. It’s not. Plus we are on our phones enough.
It's renting vs owning you can do as much renovations you want for PC and play online all you like and when something goes wrong you have to buy new parts vs paying for a console paying a fee to play and whenever something goes wrong they do the repairs
I have a hard lined custom built PC and I still prefer the console experience. One always over looked point is the OS. With a PS5 there is one thing to update, no driver conflicts no multiple games stores to manage, no odd things running in the background, etc. Turn it on, play. The steam deck (which I also have) is the closest PC experience to this because it doesn’t have the hot mess known as Windows running in the background. I don’t need the maintenance. I wish the gaming PC offered this and hopefully SteamOS will make it happen someday. Sony may be the first company to crack VR into something desirable by the masses with PS VR2, not because it has the best stats but because they will have the developers the PC is missing to make engaging games. Lastly, the best controllers are always developed for consoles and later used for the PC and the PC often doesn’t integrate haptics as well as a console does. It’s not all roses for PCs. :)
I agree about the controllers. I game primarily on PC but I used an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller. I love it. I also used to think the same thing about the OS. When I first came to PC, that was one of the things I missed the most. But now I understand why it’s not like that. You can turn things off in the background on windows if you really want to. You can run a slim version of windows that has all the bloat removed. It’s called Ghost Spectre and it’s quite nice. I would recommend checking it out. You can also just use Linux. But there is less than 100% game compatibility. So be aware of that. Consoles have the OS they have because they are locked down. It is a closed system. PC is an open system. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
Well said! I own the ps5, Xbox series S and a switch... I don't play any of them! To top all off I even built an arcade machine out of a pi4. PC ALL DAY
Yeah I have a PC and PS5 and a switch. The PS5 was the biggest waste of money. We never play it. My wife and I do play the switch from time to time. She loves Mario as you know. Haha.
The problem that I have with the PC vs Console debate are the following: - It really depends on your PC setup. If your PC lacks a graphics card or its an older PC, it may not be better than console. - Is it true that you can build a better PC than any console, yes. Yes, you can make a PC more powerful than any console. And if you do own such a PC then YES your gaming rig is better than console. - Playing on a PC is like playing the game on the developers computer. Of course its going to look and respond better. Your playing the game on the most ideal machine there is. So PC blows console away here. - Ease of use. Console takes the cake here. You just put in the game and its guaranteed to work. You can't beat that. PC's will always be more complicated to set up and run and operate. - In my opinion, console is for the everyday person. My friends sister can go buy a PS5 and put in a game and have fun, but she doesn't know how to build a gaming PC. So gaming PC's are the special case where if you really want the superior experience and want to feel like your playing the game on the developers computer, then PC is the way to go. - In my mind, a PC is the machine you use to MAKE the game. A console is where you publish your game for the mass market. - There is this debate one which one is better. Let me make it clear there is no debate, you can make your PC 100 times better than a console so of course it will be better on PC than console. But this only counts if you have a bad ass gaming PC. I have a 10 year old laptop and I promise that my laptop is NOT better than console. - I like consoles for the ease of use, the specific game libraries, and because I prefer a controller compared to a keyboard and mouse as well as the user interface and all of the other traits a console has to offer. - I like having a bad ass gaming PC because you can do basically anything you want on it and its a beast and can run almost anything.
To me PC has always been the cheapest choice. When I was a kid I discovered all I needed was a video card and I could turn my family computer into a gaming PC. At that point you could be spending about $150 on a low end or used mid-tier card to start opening up your whole world. I would say anybody who is looking into PC gaming should start out like that.
The console experience dwarfs PC in both value and convenience. Arguably the most important aspects for most gamers. When you’re gaming on your sofa, you don’t need to be able to build a resume or write code… you’re there to game. No the performance is not as good, but it’s 70-90% identical, in some cases faster, and a hell of a lot cheaper. “PC is cheaper over time”. For some people, maybe, but the way the pricing is trending for PC parts and especially GPU’s, I’m not so sure. Sony charging $70 for games is annoying af tho
The one thing that's stopping me from swapping is all the achievements i have on console and games, and if i went to pc, most of that would be gone to waste because everyone knows steams the best
@@ErockOnTech built a 1440p monster. I have Ryzen 5700x processor, rx 6700xt gpu (wanted 6800xt but didnt have the extra funds at the moment) water cooling for cpu, 700watt psu. I love how nice my build came out I finished it off with rgb 32gb ram ddr4
Not only is PC better than Console, but Emulation on PC has made it even more attractive. You can play Older Classics on a Modern PC, enhance the Graphics with Emulators, sometimes you can Mod the Games & play with your USB Controller of preference. I did some light PC Gaming when I was younger, but the drawback for me was having to use Keyboard & Mouse for Games. That's all fine if the game calls for it [ie: The Sims, Age of Empires, World of Warcraft, etc.] but when you're used to Console Gaming, I missed that Controller familiarity. Some of my favorite Console Games weren't on PC, so I had to choose Console to spend most of my time on. Nowadays, you have so many options how you want to play on PC, most Games are released on PC & Console, but PC's are just more powerful, they will be better, it's just smarter to go with PC nowadays for a do it all Gaming Machine. Ever since I got into Emulation & moved my older Games over to PC, I haven't even touched my older Consoles, there is no need to. They look better on my PC with upscaled Graphics, my 4K Monitors & I can save as many Games as I want due to Hard Drives. You can save Gameplay pretty easy, take Screenshots, use Save States on Emulators, there's just a lot more options that you could not do on older Consoles even if you still wanted to play them in current year. Plus I think PC Games get more Deals for Sale than Console Games ever did. And there's just so many options to choose from on Steam, it just doesn't make sense for me to use a Console anymore. My last Console was a PS4 and even that one I played way less than my PS3 & PS2. I just have 0 ambition to get a PS5 & beyond. I don't think I will ever be on a Gaming Console ever again. PC Gaming is expensive, it's not as "Mobile", but the Pluses for me outweigh the Negatives, it's not even close!! And yes, you can do more Computer based tasks & Multitasking like you mentioned as well. Just way more Features & experience on PC!! Keep your PC up to date, buy great Hardware, take care of it, make sure everything is working correctly, and you'll have a rocking do-it-all machine for a long time!!
I fully agree! Well said all the way through. Emulation is not only a massive benefit but it’s also so important to the gaming industry. I love emulation.
You are very talented at building PC's and have inspired me for when i do get a PC, I will build it as a Batman PC. I'm a big Batman fan because of all the times his body has been broken and he is still strong willed and keeps moving forward. What a great idea, your channel just gave me, thanks for a great video.
Oh look another arrogant speech from a PC Gamer. These kinds of debates are meaningless because they both have a place in our lives. PC perhaps much more powerful and versatile than Console. But nobody cares if the machine is powerful or not. What real gamers care about is play the game. So it doesn't matter how and where you play the game. All that matters is that you are playing the game. And having a powerful machine does not make you a Master Race. You are still a flesh and blood being with no real power.
Actually some people do care about getting the ultimate performance. Don’t gatekeep being a gamer. There is no such thing as a “real” gamer. That definition varies broadly among people. Nobody has the right to claim one definition as the true definition.
For me xbox game pass solves this issue. The game I pay full price are usually the games I want to keep forever. If its a game that I wont ever turn on again after finishing its campaign then I usually play it on gamepass which is only 10 bucks and its essentially like renting a game and paying significantly less and save a lot more money because if I bought ps5 game for 70 and then sell it lets say for 50 then I still saved more on xbox game pass.
You're debate about pc vs console gaming was very persuasive and mostly succinct. Correct me if I'm wrong, console gaming is equivalent to iPhone ownership i.e., mostly marketed to non-technical users. I enjoyed your brief bio, you evolved from a console gamer to a pc gamer as your technical knowledge developed. Hence, you reached your full potential. Console gaming was probably holding you back. Well done.
Well with pcs you can upgrade and make it faster. With consoles you can’t as they prevent you from upgrading and opening the console to upgrade. Except PlayStation 5 you can up grade the ssd n.v2 but that all you can do. 😂😊pc is for me.
I'd say I will probably stick to Console for gaming in the future. XSS is my first gaming console, and to be honest, I'm satisfied with how smooth it is to run most games at 60fps 1080p. PC DIY market is crazy these years with those soaring gpu prices. I upgraded my gpu from rx480 to rx6600, and the result did not quite live up to my expectations, and I had to force myself to upgrade my cpu as well. Second-hand consoles are fine but second-hand gpu, that's another story, who knows if it is a battle-hardened mining gpu.
If youre fine with 60 fps 1080p then rx6600 should be more than enough for that. It can pretty much run most games at 60 fps/1080 so not sure how it didnt live up to your expectations. Of course it depends on your other componnets as well such as cpu but r5 5600 goes with it well and its a cheap cpu.
@@mattbog2057 :"didn't live up to my expectations" means certain games on PC are not really well optimized. Take AC origin and Odyssey for example, r5 3500x paired with rx6600 didn't perform very well and drops below 60 fps in city areas. In COD COLD WAR ZOMBIE Outbreak mode, fps drops severely when fighting against hordes especially, fps gets worse with HD texture pack installed.
Well as long as you’re happy with your console, then that’s really all that matters. But the Xbox Series S is cheap and that’s great but it’s also the weakest gaming option available. Well, except for the switch. The series S has been criticized recently for only running newer games at 30 fps. In my opinion, that’s unacceptable. You complain about AC, which is notoriously difficult to run, dipping below 60 fps. But you praise a console that literally only runs some games at 30 fps. But like I said, as long as you’re happy.
@@ErockOnTech I sold XSS and bought XSX if it is not for Cold War. To me, XSS being a AC launcher at 60fps is enough, don't care some other games at 30fps.My advice is: Don't ever buy a mining gpu unless it is really cheap. Use that money for something better.
I understand the advantages, but I wouldn't put the price as one because a PC with the same capabilities of a console is substantially more expensive. If I am wrong, I would like to be told so with the link to an amazon or online store because that is the main thing that keeps me away from going back to PC, I spent a lot in mine and what I needed to make it run the games I wanted to play was higher from just buying an Xbox One (the features you talk in the video of "having a pc" such as making a resume, watch Netflix, etc. you don't need a Gaming PC to do all of that, and PC to do so is actually very cheap, making it able to play games is what sucks the green paper out your wallet). I know this depends on preferences but sometimes you don't want any of that and just want to play games without having spend a fortune.
It also depends on what you want in your gaming experience. If you have to have 4K, then it’s going to be expensive. If you are ok with 1440p or 1080p, then that will save you a lot of money. My biggest issue with consoles are the limitations. If you want more, there is nothing you can do it. If you want less, there is nothing you can do about it. You are stuck with what they give you. That’s not always a good thing. Look at the Xbox one X. Great opportunity for consoles to take advantage and fully master 1080p 60 fps. But instead, they tried to do 4K. That resulted in a 30 FPS experience on almost all games. 30 fps is unacceptable. I’ll entertain arguments about not seeing a difference between 100 fps and 90 fps. But there is most certainly a difference between 30 fps and 60 fps. Now with “next gen” consoles, we still have games releasing with 30 FPS. It’s not as often thankfully, but still it’s ridiculous when it happens. PC is full control.
@@ErockOnTech Fair enough. I don't think you were mistaken in most of your points, and I didn't come to defend consoles, I was just getting everything together to decide wether I should go back to PC. Thank you for the video
@@rewpertcone8243 it really depends on your country but. Just lower your settings the PS5 has high textures many of it's settings to medium and low/mid draw distance.just do that🤷♂️
I switch to PC about a year ago and I truly think I made a crucial choice in my life when it comes to my favorite hobby. With PC Gamepass, PS exclusives coming in, and games always at discount There is no better time to go with the ultimate machine for gaming.!!
I agree 100%! It really is the best time to be on PC. I was thinking about this not too long ago. There really was a time when console gaming made the most sense. But today, in 2022, that’s no longer the case.
The only argument for having a gaming pc, is if you have shitloads of disposable income and are obsessed with 120 fps or more and maxed out graphics and can’t live without those things. Mods are great but don’t justify the cost in my opinion. It’s this simple for me… the ps5 has pretty great performance and pretty darn good graphics and devs are designing games with the console in mind most of the time. For 500.00 plus tax and about 140.00 for a couple of games, 40.00-60.00 per year for ps plus, 70.00 for a second controller, your tv you already have adds no cost, or spend 500.00 for a pretty decent 4k tv… what else… that seems pretty set. Buy games used and wait for sales and never have to pay full price too. That vs at least 1500.00 for a strong enough pc build to handle the newest games, a monitor is extra so whatever that costs, paying for windows separately, buying a controller for games that work better with it, the hassle of configurations to make everything work right, possible viruses… and so on. Even if you are using the pc for all of your computer needs, it’s too expensive. Just use your 300.00 laptop for regular computer shit you probably already have. No argument for me. If I could afford a PC for gaming and the best consoles, I’d have all that shit for sure. But for the money, Console is the easy winner and for me, I am a PlayStation guy.
Hey I’ve come to realize PC isn’t for everyone. If you don’t want it, I won’t try to convince you. Objectively, PC is superior and therefore it costs more. It’s that simple. I do admit it could be a little cheaper. It used to be cheaper. The last couple of years have really messed things up. So I hope in the future it gets cheaper again. I don’t care if you don’t want a PC. That’s fine. But I do care about your first sentenced. There are plenty of reasons to have a gaming PC besides 120 fps. For me, I like the control I have. Consoles are locked down. You have zero control over it. You can’t do anything with it except turn it on and off. I love customizing my PC and my setup. Also, I’m adamantly against paying to play online. That is such a rip off. Lastly, no, I don’t need 120 fps. But I do need at least 60. Even the newest consoles still release games that are only running at 30 fps. That is absolutely unacceptable to me. But like I said, PC isn’t for everyone. So to each their own.
So let me do some math for you. You mentioned 300 laptop. And yes most people do indeed have laptop or cheap pc for basic use anyway even if they only game on console.And the cheap pc for basic use are usually around those 300 bucks. That counts for total cost too! With ps5 thats already 800 total. For online play you need to pay for Ps plus is which 60 per year. One console generation is around 7 years so 60 per year x 7 thats 420. Plus 800 thats already 1220. You can already buy a decent pc for that price. But thats not all. As mentioned pc games are indeed cheaper. In fact you can save 20 bucks per game on average on pc version. Lets say you buy 5 games per year(if its more than it will add up even more).Thats 100 more per year for buying games on consoles. Over 7 years times 7 thats 700. + 1220 were already close to 2K which is a price of already amazing pc but then again you dont even need to spend that much to get a decent pc. And even if you wait for sales on games for consoles the pc versions are already even cheaper by then. Games on pc go for sales way sooner and for bigger discounts.For the record gotham knights was released on october and was already for 30 bucks during steam winter sale (only 2 months after release). Also you dont need to buy completely new pc with every upgrade. While gpu is the most expensive component followed by cpu and motherboard and those are what you go for when you upgrade but you can still save some money by keeping other components isntead of going for completely new pc every time. PSU can last a decade,you can keep older discs for more storage etc. So if I look at it in the long term pc isnt even more expensive unless you go for the best of the best and upgrade every 2 years which is absolutely not necessary. So even if new pc was for 1500+ it doesnt need to cost that much again on the next upgrade. Which will further lower the total spendings in the long term over the years. And if I add up paying for online on consoles,more expensive games + a cheap pc which you will probably need anyway for basic use and internet browsing the price will easily even out or might end up being even more in the long term.
@@The1Music2MyEars oh I see. That’s not an issue for me because I love my Xbox controller and only use that controller. But I understand your frustration. If someone wants to use a different controller, then that would be annoying.
They seem more expensive at first because you pay more money at once but in the long term (span of 5+ years) they are actually cheaper in total due to cheaper games and free online.
You forgot to mention, with PC gaming you have emulation, including Nintendo Switch emulation, so you can play Nintendo games on PC. So PC is the only true backwards compatible platform. The Xbox Series S has some good emulation capabilities too but you can't emulate everything that you can on a PC, that's why I switched from Xbox to PC last month. I bought a pre built PC from Amazon that already had a good CPU and RAM, so I just upgraded the graphics card and it's been great. I regret spending so much money on games for Xbox because I find those same games on CDKeys for so much cheaper on PC. and like you said, most PS exclusives are coming to PC, so it's becoming pointless to own a Playstation.
One of my favorite things on PC is top tier level of backward compatibility, you can play games from a very few years ago on PC, not just a native PC games, you can play older games from different consoles via emulator. I just build my PC with i5 gen 10th and RTX 3060, with that spec, it's very enough to run my games from Steam, Epic Games Store, and EA App, also playing my favourite PS2 games via PCSX2 and run smoother and better than my own PS2 slim lol.
I love my Tron PC, my Harley Quinn Mini ITX, and now I'm working on how to customize the HP Elitedesk 800 mini that I just rebuilt for less than $100 and turned into a retro emulation console.
I might be getting a pc for Christmas and I want to switch badly but I’m sad that I’m going to be leaving all of my memories and everything that I’ve had for the past 10 years but I think it will be worth it
I understand your concerns completely. I had the same concerns. But really it’s no different than getting a new console. Also, all new games are basically cross play now and cross gen. Also, Discord works on consoles and PC. So really, everything is integrated now.
One thing that has me put off sometimes by pc gaming is bad ports. Some of These developers really treat pc gamers like dirtbags and do the bare minumum. Get ready to deal with stutters, crashed, bugs
This is true for sure and it certainly does suck. However, thankfully, ports are getting better. For example, Spiderman was a great port. And the bugs it had were quickly fixed. Nixxes updated the game almost weekly until it was about perfect. Plus, often times, mods can help as well. But I agree we have a ways to go still. That’s why it’s important to get more people on PC. The bigger the PC community is, the more developers will realize the audience the platform has.
This is so important yet nobody mentions it. My PC gaming experience has been pretty awful tbh, bugs, FPS drops choppy gameplay. Meanwhile the series x runs everything flawlessly.
@@masitraproductions977 it’s just comes down to optimization. You have to figure out the settings that work best for your system on a game. The difference is that developers have done that for you on a console.
I think that the reason so many people buy consoles is because they find it difficult to justify the initial price to get a computer that can run the games at a stable fps. People like the low price and ease of use and setup of a console, many people probably wouldn’t want to build a pc. However, I understand the points in this video. I think that at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference.
@@ErockOnTech but let's be honest, if you can afford to build a gaming PC to rival or beat the current gen consoles for $1000-$1500+ and upwards of $500 for a single computer part, you're not going to be short changed about buying a whole console around the $400 mark
@@tomc4311 Yes and no. Do you know how many people here in America live paycheck to paycheck? About 78%. Americans don’t have the best money management skills. So it’s quite possible someone building a PC is literally spending all their extra (non bill) money they have.
Repair should also be noted as one of the reasons. If your computer breaks down, it's easier to repair it, you just replace the broken part, compared to a console. You can't do it on the console as they don't sell parts and the only way is to take it to service, which is for a few years.
I never once owned a console in my life and I’ve been gaming on pc for like 25 years. Let me tell you the main issues with PCs in my opinion: 1. It’s pricey if you want a decent experience and downright expensive if you want high-end stuff. I spent 3 grand on my current rig compared to 500 bucks for PS5. 2. Prebuilt market is a pile of garbage and it takes knowledge and effort to build it yourself. Preferably you have a friend who can do it for you or guide you through it. 3. You have to jump through hoops to play on a couch. It can be done but keyboards aren’t really designed for it and you have to mess around with somehow connecting it to the tv, or streaming the output of a pc to a tv. 4. Sometimes something just borks and you have to fix it yourself, which typically involves a lot of googling. It doesn’t just work.
That is a fair summary of the issues for PC. I would slightly change points 3 and 4. For point 3, it’s not hard at all to connect a PC to a TV. You simply connect the HDMI cable from the GPU to the tv. It’s exactly like a console in that matter. As for the couch part, well, that depends on your preference for input. I use a Xbox controller. It’s wireless. It works flawlessly. It’s just like when I used it on the Xbox. But if you prefer mouse and keyboard, then yes I agree. Couch gaming is massive pain. As for point number 4, I agree it doesn’t just work. It’s not as simple as a console. This is correct. However, as with all things, the more issues you fix, the better you’ll be. What I mean is, eventually, a user will just know the right settings to change, when to change those settings, and how to fix various problems. Eventually, a user can fully learn how to properly optimize and tune his/her PC to run near flawless. The issue here is time and effort. The user will have to be willing to learn. Consoles are so locked down that a user has no control. So it has to work out of the box. You’re completely right about the prebuilt industry. My goodness, those PCs are bad.
@@ErockOnTech well, couch gaming could be as simple as that if your pc is physically near your TV, but that’s not what I was referring to. I’ve got my tv in a separate room and I’ve had to set up another pc low power PC near my TV, install KODI on it and set up steam to stream the output of my main pc to my TV over Ethernet. It’s a bit of a mess, honestly. And I don’t think that’s an uncommon problem.
@@Wooksley but if you want your PC on your tv, why not just move your PC next to your TV? Is it because of looks? You could also just build a small form factor PC with enough power to play the games you want on the couch. This PC could be dedicated for the tv for those times you want to play games on the couch. That’s how a console works. The console is next to the tv. Am I missing something? Maybe I’ve misunderstood. I just don’t quite understand why you’re complaining about a PC not connecting to a tv as simply as a console. But a console requires you to place it next to the tv. But you don’t want to do that with your PC. It doesn’t seem like a fair criticism to me.
So I watched some videos on pc vs console and have to say this is the best one I found! As a console gamer after watching this I'm realizing I can literally do everything it can and even more on pc. I love modding and stuff and to get a mod for a playstation game you have to wait like a few years time and sometimes like 5 years. Guess I'm getting a pc for the next gen XD. Thanks for the video man you explained it really well.
Honestlty even if I could only ever afford super entry level i3/xx5x builds the other benefits are so awesome the visuals alone wouldn't make or break it for me.
And by the way, Nintendo not releasing games on pc is a non issue for me. I emulate all their games, from the first Nintendo, all the way to the switch, and I can add graphic settings, I can upscale them to 4k and run at 60. Switch games look so much better on pc I promise you. I can even play them in 21:9 aspect ratio(not stretched). I have 24 consoles emulated, 7600 games on a 1tb external nvme. Using launchbox front end. Amazing stuff you can do on a pc. That’s one thing consoles will never be able to do like a pc, because Sony and Nintendo want you to pay monthly to play older games, Games I paid them money for in the past.
Play on both, but mostly on PC + all online gaming is on PC as well. I refuse to pay twice for playing online. One problem I have with PC gaming is when I want to play on my sofa. Different sound systems require you to play around with it and windows 10 can be a real pain sometimes. Heck one update can make a mess. Windows have come a long way when it comes to ways to play your games. Many PC games come with controller support now. That was not the case 10 years ago. The original Mass Trilogy on PC didn't have controller support at all. It was only thanks to the modding community that we got it. Long live PC mods. One BIG but though. Greedy publishers are trying to kill mods on PC 😡 What we also see now is portable PC systems like the Steam Deck. You can even plug it into your TV and use it as a console if you like. Of course, you need a docking station for that like with the Switch. Yes, first time PC setup is pricy, but so is your first time Home cinema + console gaming setup.
Yeah PC has come a long way for sure. I think about this often. When was the best time to be on PC? Well, honestly, I think it’s now. Because as you mentioned, years ago there was little to no native controller support. There was also no cross platform play. No cloud saves. No console exclusives on PC. Things have radically changed and I think for the better.
I platinumed Spider-Man on my PS4 Pro and then again on my PS5 with the Miles Morales deluxe edition. I will wait for Spider-Man's PC release to drop in price like I did with Days Gone and Zero Dawn both of which I bought steam keys for via a reputable on-line retailer...for less than $17 CAN.
PC has EMULATION. PC godfathers all gaming systems to ever exist. I have all of them along with modern platforms & gaming. PC has Generational gaming with online support. I Have all of the CONSOLE emulators & games in my Gaming Library running on SUPERIOR HARDWARE 19-13900K & RTX 4090 with ONLINE SUPPORT. Dreamcast, Wii, Gamecube, N64, Super Nitendo, PS2 , PS3 etc. . PLUS there are even PROGRAMS like FIGHTCADE , DOLPHIN on PC where you can play all of your classic games from previous generations ONLINE with the world. Your games & hardware will never become OBSOLETE with the next generation like console.... there will always be support adding online & mods to keep the game fun/exciting and growing.
I switch to PC. Its great to be honest. For some games i am going back to console (apex l.). Too many cheaters. It is disgusting. Cross play needs to go.
Imo consoles made a lot more sense in the 90s and 2000s. They were smaller and looked a lot cooler and overall more unique compare to now where they just look like massive bricks. And they had a lot more exclusives back then. You also didnt need to worry about any updates and you would just insert the disc and instantly play. Now you have to install the game even if you have physical disc version. PCs back then also didnt have controller support like now and even when you bought a decent pc it would become obsolete only in like 1-2 years. But now its different. Good PC can last you for many years and everything console can do pc can do too, there are way less exclusives on consoles than back in the day and consoles are actually like pcs with less features so even the benefits they had back in the day are gone.
Well said and I fully agree. I think about this quite often actually. The farther back you go in time, the better console is. Console just made so much more sense back in 2005 for example. But so much has changed.
@@ErockOnTech Yeah I grew up on Nintendo 64 and was playing exclusively on consoles up until xbox one. I moved on to PC when xbox one came out and xbox 360 was my last console. I do have nintendo switch but thats more like extension to pc but I currently have no reason to own ps5 or xbox series X.
Just bought a pre built PVC with a 4060 graphics card…..let’s just say I’m never going back to console 🤣. Virtually no loading screens, no over heating issues, no performance problems, full customization, graphics are IMPECCABLE…..and I don’t even come close to what is considered “top of the line” in terms of graphics cards and processing power. i5, GeForce 4060, 16gb ram. And if I ever wanna beef it up I can. I won’t need to for quite some time but it’s nice knowing that I can do whatever I want now.
Gotta disagree with PC games being cheaper. Physical games tend to drop in price quicker than digital games including Steam titles. Right now, I could buy the Nioh Collection on PS5 at a lower price than Nioh 2 on PC.
That’s one game. And you mentioned physical. I wager most console games are now bought and sold digitally. Yes, physical is still an option. But less and less people use physical. The evidence is easy. GameStop has been struggling for a while now. Why? Because less gamers are buying physical games. The cheaper Xbox and the cheaper PS5 are both digital only. That’s why physical games are so cheap. Because no one is buying them lol. Lastly, while cheaper, it’s also pointless to buy physical. MW2 2022 literally had less than 1GB of data on the disc. It’s a physical license key at this point. A glorified paper weight that you have to store somewhere in your house. The majority of the game is downloaded online. On average, as a whole, the majority of gamers buy digital copies of games and digital is cheaper on PC. There are exceptions to the rule like Nioh from time to time.
@@ErockOnTech "That’s one game." There's several examples of this. Dark Souls 2 and 3? Cheaper Physically. Ni no Kuni 2? Cheaper physically. Ace Combat 7? Cheaper physically. Final Fantasy VII Remake? Cheaper Physically. Sonic Frontiers? It's $40 physically, and $60 on Steam. Steam sales being cheaper than console games has not been true for years. Publishers have more control over the prices of games on digital stores they're not going to drop prices as much as a vendor who's trying to eliminate stock. "Yes, physical is still an option. But less and less people use physical. The evidence is easy. GameStop has been struggling for a while now." GameStop had been struggling years before Covid. It's just a badly managed company. "Because less gamers are buying physical games. The cheaper Xbox and the cheaper PS5 are both digital only. That’s why physical games are so cheap. Because no one is buying them lol. Lastly, while cheaper, it’s also pointless to buy physical." Physical games are not pointless, and having less options to acquire games isn't something to celebrate. Digital only gives publishers too much power. If I wanted to buy a Japan-only game like Dragon Quest X Offline. I could just buy the physical copy of the game on Amazon and play it on my console without the need to make any extra accounts. Obviously, I can't buy a Japan only game on an account that can only access the NA store. But what I wanted to buy the game on my PC? Well, I can't because access the Steam Page for DQX because it is region locked. And do you remember the PS3 and 360 release of Scott Pilgrim? The game was removed from the online stores of those consoles, and it was a big deal back in the day. It's as if people have memory holed the fact that these games can be pulled out off of these stores for any reason. Physical preserves games in a way that digital games cannot. And this is a big deal for systems like the PS4/5 and the Switch which get Japanese only releases. "MW2 2022 literally had less than 1GB of data on the disc. It’s a physical license key at this point. A glorified paper weight that you have to store somewhere in your house." The "that's one game" argument is more applicable here than the idea of physical games being cheaper. The vast majority of physical games, even on modern systems like the Switch and PS5, contain the full game data on their disc and carts and can be booted without any internet connection. DoesItPlay1 keeps tabs on the amount of physical console releases that can be played without any Internet access, and cases like MW2 are a minority.
@@Naruxos07 A lot of your arguments sound like Rich from ReviewTechUSA. Yeah, I watch him too. That’s fine. Look, I’m not praising at the altar of digital games. I understand the downsides 100%. I’m not here saying I think physical games should die because it sucks or something. That’s not what’s happening. Rather, I’m just stating the facts man. Regardless of what I think should happen. What is happening is physical games are dying. Digital is the new standard for better or worse. And when speaking on the most commonly purchased form of video games in 2023(digital), yes PC is cheaper on average when compared to console. That’s really all I’ve got to say about it. But we can agree to disagree. It’s really not a big deal either way.
@@ErockOnTech before folks would trade their physical copies to game stop,say a brand new game cost 59.99 game stop will buy a used version back for 39.99 and sell it as used for 48.99. This literally made up 28-33 percent of game stops revenue in the past. But no folks are not going to game-stop to even buy games or gaming accesssories their using sites like amazon which tend to give you more sellection and usually at slightly cheaper price. Physical copies just take up space in your home its nice to look at if your collecting.
You could just summarize by saying PC has absolute versatility and freedom of choice while consoles are restrictive and dictate what and how you can do at any given moment.
