I feel like going from pc to Xbox would be hard if you have a big pc games library but I have Xbox and can play the games I own digitally on Xbox on pc through the Xbox app
Just built my first gaming pc, your channel was great for helping with decisions and building confidence in the build process. Also for a good laugh, you’re a hero
@@PcCentricto correct you Xbox has uwp apps which are basically window apps and Xbox has the full edge where you can run online apps which is more common these days
Yeah I rather have a Xbox series x or ps5 cuz it's easier to carry around and it's a little bit more enjoyable. 120hz it's basically all what you need for gaming
@@batzraph708 Nice one, I have the same setup as you... I only grabbed my 4090 in 2022 though. I didn't sell my Series X, still kept it, but PC is definitely superior in every sense. Except we have been screwed with some of the PC games/ports of late.
Honestly console is so hassle free. That’s something that needs to be considered. It’s 120 fps hassle free. You don’t need to mess with settings you don’t need to make sure you update drivers then update the game. You don’t have to have multiple programs to buy the games want. I’m a pc gamer because I want the highest quality of gaming but the series x is very close to the gaming experience that I have on pc ( I run 4k 5800x3D and 4090)
stop coping. you cant even reach 120 fps on most console titles. "very close" is an overstatement. i have a ps5 which i mainly play, but cant compare to its graphics to PC counterpart, especially on a high end one like you have lol.
"most console titles" did you even read what i said. starfield runs at 30 fps. I can only count on my fingers those that support 120 fps mode and most are esports or fps title like fortnite and gears.@@DavidGarciajrtx
For many who fear the complexity, and potentially confusing nature of a Windows PC, buying an Xbox means they can still easily game at a good level, and for a lower price. But for anyone with the knowledge and ability to manage a PC, especially if you can build your own, it's flexibility in covering office, browsing, and editing functions, etc, plus upgradeability, more than makes up for any amount of additional costs.
Most people still think PC is like in 1990's. I can use PC year after year without much problems. If there is a problem, reboot PC and it's automatically fixed in seconds.
Series X is a great console for what it is. For the price, you can have 120fps games and an entry to GamePass. I sold mine for PC (7900xt) but if I was on a budget, Series X (or PS5 which I still have) is amazing. Also, note that console removes most cheating as you can shut crossplay to PC. However, a AM4 5600/6700xt build can be had for a little more than the consoles nowadays.
Yeah I mean pc parts have shot in price and every year games seem to be getting harder to run on lower end components to upgrade my system to true 4k it would cost me over £1k where as the series x plays games at 4k for under £500 which makes alot of sense for people like me who don't have money for highend gear
Get both and have the best of both worlds. Xbox for its simplicity and controller. PC for gaming with better graphics 'rawr power', do your homework/work, printing, etc. PC lets you do much more than PS5 and Xbox. But consoles offer simplicity at a cheaper price.
Would have been interesting to know the difference in power draw from the wall but still a great video. Personally I just bought a mini PC and really surprised with its performance with PC games. I am only playing on 1080p 60hz TV but still thought it might struggle but so far so good and I’ve seen it do 1440p on RU-vid videos which I’m gonna test next so very happy and the power draw is low.
@@jamesg8246 if u live in the U.K. and pay the bills, electricity usage does matter. Bills are going up again in Jan but I do get your point. I was looking at laptops earlier and you’d have to spend a lot to get something not as powerful as a desktop in most cases.
@@jamesg8246 27p per kWh here in the UK. Console with TV will draw about 200W, PC more than double that. Doesn't sound a lot but 2-3hrs a day, 365 days a year...
@@conorturton So how much is it? You're correct, doesn't sound like a lot, in the big picture. Also 2-3 hours a day seems excessive to me but I maybe do 2-3 hours a month.
@@jamesg8246that ‘pocket change’ cost me £20 alone last month just on running my gaming pc. I’ve been lowering my settings too, and changed my set-up to play at 60hz. Still pulling 280-300w from the wall. Was around 500w before I did that. My bill Would have been closer to £40 had I not done that. £20 a month over a year is nothing to scoff at. £240 of my money I don’t have to give to a corporation is always welcome. That’s money I can put towards a future build.
Used to be console, now PC gaming. I find it easier. I'm not very good with those controllers. You used to have 4 buttons or something and that was easy to play with, now you have many buttons, many combinations to remember, etc... Also, many games only work with the 2 bats, I can't play well with that. PC gaming is great but as with everything it is an expensive hobby, you have to have a decent PC and that costs money. (my opinion). My PC costs 2645 euros. I used to buy 1 of 1200, that was really not good, I want to play games on the max settings, you also need enough vram and not just the ram. And that thing made a lot of noise too. Now my PC is very very quiet. What a difference.
Great take, but it's kind of weird to compare a console to such a high end pc (price wise, and power) For the price, the xbox is amazing, also taking into consideration gamepass. personally I got a okay-ish laptop from 2 years ago with a rtx 3060 and a ryzen 7, it runs most of the games i play on high, my series x runs what I like there, playstation 5 because of god of war and my switch due to pokemon, everything has it's ups, and downs. But I prefer to see the positive in em, they all work in their own way, for different types of games.
there is defo a huge benefit to using an xbox especially in 2023 where most people just wanna come home and play a game. things like gamepass although available on pc, is a great addition to console, along with its ease of use. You dont have to worry about fan curves, or graphics settings. you should just be able to pick up a controller and play. on the other hand, pc is great if you want a choice. a lot of things werent covered in this video such as game emulation, choice of games (pc only games, PS games and xbox games in 1 place) the option of using any controller you like on pc such as xbox or ps controller or a keyboard and mouse. also creative applications are only available on pc and if you want an ultrawide gaming monitor, you need a pc. pc is defo for the more hardcore gamer or creative professional due to the large variety of simulation hardware such as racing wheels, flight joy sticks and virtual reality headsets to pick from.
Not really. People on average replace their GPU every 5 years. Thus the cost is still higher, while historically, console start to look better and better when game producers begin to use more of its power. Console is still the way to go for pure gaming in modern times because of the cost, plus it also has virtually hardly any cheat hacks you have to deal with in fps games etc. Plus things like twitch have been put in put in as a native platform as well@@Humpypants
@@elindil2 people who choose to replace gpus do it because they can. There are people still playing modern games on the 1000 nvidia series. That means skipping both the ps4 and ps5 and about 7 years of online fees. Pc is cheaper if you build it for future proofing.
I've just swapped from a gaming pc to xbox as I simply cannot afford to upgrade my pc to play 4k where as the xbox series x handles 4k really well xxxx
for fortnite, Competitive settings are Everything Tuned down to Low, Resolution set to 1080p, fps Unlimited, Render Distance set to Far. or resolution set to 1440p
I would love to build an epic gaming PC one day but for now Series X has been a solid enough experience and first time ive experienced higher refresh rates has been game changing.
PC all the way for me, been on pc for 3 years and like the fact that its an all in one device for gaming, web browsing, media, etc. I'd rather spend more money and be able to get more powerful hardware that run games at any resolution and any framerate I want. Also supports any keyboard, mouse, or controller I would want to use.
@IgLivespt3 Not for gaming! ... For work and creativity, Macs are hard to beat though. I have a 4090/13900k PC for gaming, and use a m1 Pro Macbook Pro for work/music production and general purpose. That said, You CAN game on a mac but it's just not the platform's strong suit. You have to jump through hoops to emulate windows games and there's a limited amount of mac native games.
PC always has best gaming experience but I invite friends home to play split screen To have split screen on a PC it has to be a 3k+ PC Xbox is for me at this
I've always bounced between the two throughout the years, console, then a PC, then back to console, then back to PC. Mainly due to life circumstances; money, travelling, living situation etc, etc. Hands down I would always choose PC if the option is possible, yes it's expensive and requires more configuration (which I actually love, as I love choosing my own preferences, choosing between image quality vs framerate etc) but to me it is the ultimate gaming experience. A couple of things I'm surprised you didn't mention though is mod support and the use of ReShade on PC??? Some games can totally be transformed with mods, gameplay wise, bug fixes and graphical changes??? I adore the modding and ReShade communities on PC.
The x box would win. I've been weighing up the options between getting a console or building a pc. You just can't build a pc that matches the performance for the price. The graphics card alone will cost about £200
Ive went from Xbox 360, to Xbox One S, now to Xbox Series X... I bought a monitor a few months back and it definitely makes gaming more enjoyable with the refresh rates and response times, even the cheaper monitors (under $200) are insane👌🏻🔥
Unless you want the freedom that modding brings, which creates longevity and user fixes for games (look at how starfield has been fixed already by modders on pc)
The combination of turning down the resolution to achieve higher frame rates in multiplayer and owning a 4K TV that supports HDMI 2.1 is why my gaming monitor is 1440p and not 4K. But if you didn't have a TV to use for 4K, that monitor is a great balance.
@@flipmanonline If you're buying a new TV/monitor, 4k is the way to go for sure, unless you're an ultra competitive online FPS gamer who needs higher than 120hz refresh. Today's high end is wasted on anything less and today's high end will be tomorrows mid range. I currently use a 4k LG C1 65" for my 4090 PC, PS5 and Series X ...and am in the market for a 27" to 32" 4k monitor for the PC.
@@AdamsOlympiaI have the same tv. I game on that and a 27” 1440p hp omen monitor. I can’t play fps games on a bug ass tv but the c1 really makes games look good on the series x.
The one thing I really like about the Xbox is the fact it has a DVD drive. This is something that a lot of PCs have been lacking in the last few years.
As a PC gamer i really love the xbox series because of mouse and keyboard support,and its cheaper...it takes a high end PC just to enjoy games at that 70+ fps while a console has games already optimised
My son has just built his first PC, his GPU cost more than my Series X. He plays on a 27” monitor, my Xbox is plugged into my 55” 1080p tv in my bedroom, and that is the main difference between the 2. Most people who own a console are regarded as ‘casual’ gamers with their consoles plugged into their tvs, and are happy with the ease of use, and are great fun with a few mates playing FIFA, CoD etc….., and most are not really bothered with the most cutting edge visuals, frame rate and so on, they just want a great looking game, (and my Xbox does that,) and a laugh. Pc gamers are more involved with the game, wanting the hardware to be pushed to its limits and want the very best experience from their Pc, with the frame rates, visuals etc.., but I feel if this is be achieved, it comes at a very expensive price! Most decent PCs cost well over a £1,000, and then the monitor is more as well. For a PC that runs as good as the Series X, PS5, in all reality going to cost up to 3x the price, if not more! Both Pc and console games can be treated equally, as the most important thing to remember is having fun, and it doesn’t really matter what you play on, so long as you’re happy with what you’ve got😊😊😊
@@mikem2253 yeah I wish more games supported 120hz on console like Resident Evil 2/3/7 do to increase the VRR window. But Ray Tracing and graphics seem to take priority
Could never go back to PC again. Never want to fuck around with pc parts, monitor, settings, drivers, errors, bluescreens, crashes, steam and and and again And biggest reason: way to expensive!
Are you referring to short term or long term when talking about money? Console is cheaper short term whereas PC is cheaper long term. Things like online subscription adds up.
The upgrade cycle makes it so that PC gaming isn’t really worth it unless it’s your main hobby. Hardware becomes sluggish in 2-3 years and obsolete in 3-5. Buying the latest gen console keeps you updated for much less. On the other hand, when I want to play games, I just want to play games. If I spend more time configuring my graphics than actually playing, then that is time away from actual gaming. Console over PC, if you have limited time to play.
This comment wins , exactly what I’m dealing with , Plus when I hop on my series S from my pc 3060ti build , I immediately feel a difference , consoles are just the best for controller. The input delay is almost non existent where as with pc there is a slight delay , I feel it most when I play cod or games like Session skate sim and halo infinite
No more than 4 hours ago I just purchased the last components I need to finish my very first PC build. I’m a long time console gamer that is finally entering the PC gaming community (I have forgone the current console generation to be able to purchase a PC sooner rather than later). I’m ready to get it up and running for Starfield soon!
you will come back to console eventually... Its all fun and games at first owning your own rig but after a while it gets annoying to dish out 1k for a video card. Also gets old to open up the pc and clean it on the weekly and so on.. I like the plug and play experience console offers. I want to GAME so a console is the logical choice for me, i have a pc i built 5 years ago and i am done upgrading it and giving my money to Ngreedia and AMD.. I realy hope intel can catch up and really put a dent in AMD and ngreedia's profits.
I switched at the end of 2020 and I would never go back. I've done multiple upgrades since then and now have a fully custom liquid cooled 7800x3d and 7900xtx!
Lets understand the fact many people dont buy a pc only for gaming. A gaming PC can do any official works like a regular one and also entertain with games
this. people throwing out the pc vs console narrative like pc is a gaming machine. it is a versatile all-in-one machine people. you can study, work, play, and do tons of shit which is very limited for consoles. that 3 times the price is justifiable as it is an entertainment machine, not a gaming machine.
Being a PC gamer, I obviously would never wanna switch back to a console considering I have a more high end build these days, and I wouldn't wanna compromise on the FPS ever agian. But that being said, I think Xbox and Playstation have some amazing flagship consoles that you can't beat for the price. So much performance for just a few hundred dollars. But one of the arguments I don't ever agree with from console players is about the user experience being more complicated when having extra settings. I get if you don't wanna go into the graphical settings and change everything because you just wanna plug and play. That is totally fine. But simply having the option doesn't complicate anything. You can leave everything at default if you wanted to and never have to touch anything. But it's there if you ever wanna get some more frames and better image quality. It's basically the same argument that Apple users use against Android. Having options doesn't mean complexity. It's the reason why I have stuck with PC for 8 years now. There just isn't a console that can compete with high end PC systems when it comes to performance, options on hardware, upgradability, aestetic, etc. Also being able to take apart your system and clean it so it doesn't start running super hot from the dust and die faster is great, along with all the different peripherals that can be bought for PC. Having your games, browser, editing software, media center, pictures, videos, documents all in one machine is something you can't compare with consoles. Also being able to upgrade components are you need for games is just something console players can never experience. You are just having to wait on the manufacturer for the next gen of consoles before you can see any improvements in FPS or performance in general. Being locked to 30fps for some 4k games is just something I couldn't compromise anymore with being used to running games at over 144hz in 4k for so long now. If you are on a budget, I would definitely tell someone to buy ones of the consoles for sure. It just is a great value for what you are getting. But if you have a good amount of money to spend on gaming, PC is just the way to go for all the reasons I stated. You can use controllers for most games on PC if you don't wanna learn keyboard and mouse for your games. So at that point, there just isn't an argument anymore.
I have a gaming PC and it's far more fulfilling for me. Only reason I'll swicth over to my Xbox Series S will be by the time GTA VI comes out, since the PC version will probably take ages to come out
@@christinamayers3234 I lost all hope for rockstar ever since they went with drip feed updates. As for GTA 5 story the protagonists were too comedy for my liking. Luis and Niko were my favourite.
@@The-Bloat12 No need to lose hope. GTA 6 is not even out yet. We can't tell how its story will turn out to be. I loved V's story and setting but that's just my personal preference. Furthermore I think that many players wished that Vice City setting will come back
I built my own Asus ROG Strix B450 F Gaming PC back 2020. I have since upgraded it to 64 GBs of Corsair RGB Vengeance DRAM. The AMD Ryzen 5600 Zen 3 12 Core Processor. Still has an older Asus RTX 2060 GPU. Using M.2 Samsung Pro 2 TB System drive. I have back ups. Basically a $1500 gaming PC. In ways I prefer to game on my X Box One X because of the games.

I am a pc gamer but looking to move to console as I am fed up with the crappy ports from console and the prices of decent gfx cards.Less time spent googling errors on pc and more time enjoying games.
consoles can replace the gaming of a gaming pc for the price-to-performance in games, but it falls far short in terms of the other stuff a pc can do. can the xbox let me check my emails or write a research report?
Having mouse and keyboard support on Xbox is fine, but not for competitive shooters. It automatically puts mouse and keyboard players at an advantage and completely ruins any kind of competition. I know this well from playing Halo Infinite where they recently forced crossplay between console and PC, and PC players usually get a k/d of around 2.0 or higher.
I'm currenty weighing upgrading my 10-year old desktop and moving over to console. I've always been a PC player and I utterly despise controllers. I honestly never thought about using an Xbox with a keyboard and mouse. Videos like this are incredibly helpful. Thanks.

@@ivilivo The first issue I get, the second issue most likely comes down to the mouse you're using. I've been using my red dragon mouse and haven't had much in the way of issues.

I'm playing on PC with a LG C2 42-Inch OLED Smart TV and it's insanely beautiful. Playing 4K / HDR at 120fps Plus, you can switch over to the smart tv mode and stream tv/movies with Dolby Vision...it's a whole different experience.
I use my PC and Series X equally, honestly only built a for streaming. Eventually I built it over time and started playing on my PC a little more. That being said, PC is better for multitasking and depending the build also games…. But consoles are a better bang for your buck. As a gamer, I will never say nonsense such as PC master race or console peasant, cause during my competitive days I’ve still aced against entire teams on my Xbox w/ a controller (no aim assist) & many games support K&M on console.
I've started my journey into PC gaming, I'm doing as much research in preparation for my first taste. I'm 30, nearly 31 and am just starting my PC career.
“4K” and “120Hz” are just marketing buzzwords on console. You as the user do not get to choose those settings or make any real tweaks aside from a “performance” or “quality” toggle. The consoles are not powerful enough for real 4K or 120Hz output in anything remotely demanding.
I’ve been saying to myself for years I’m getting a gaming PC and moving away from console but still haven’t done it yet. Currently playing Starfield on Series X stuck at 30fps is making me want a PC even more. If games are going back to 30 on console then it’s definitely time for me to jump ship to PC 🤔
depends if you want to play at 4k tho you could just play starfield at 1080p or 1440p at about 120fps and make use of 120 or 144hertz monitors@@Flyeaglesfly215
@@BL00MYB0Y Once you make the switch, you won't want to go back. My Series X is collecting dust now that I'm enjoying games like Starfield at 4k 90 FPS, and most other games at 120 FPS minimum. 3.5k was a lot to spend on a prebuilt PC but it'll take consoles 10 years to catch up
Thanks for leaving the crash in the video. PC newbs trying to troubleshoot drive space, GPU driver updates, windows update crashes, viruses, etc… is a huge issue.
If you really want to compare a console to a PC for casual game playing, try it in a living room connected to a big screen TV using only a game controller. ... but then you would have to rename the channel Console Centric.
i started gaming on atari and got every console released last one was ps4pro and decided to switch to pc after a friend suggested to me and since then im a pc fanboy. pc is way better than consoles at every aspect except price but its worth it when you consider the advantages you get
The closest PC GPU to the Xbox series X GPU is the AMD Radeon RX 6700/XT. both use RDNA 2.0, TSMC 7nm. RX6700 has 11.29 TFLOPS and RX6700XT has 13.21 TFLOPS, series X has 12.15 TFLOPs. RX6700/XT has 12 GB GDDR6 has series X has 16 GB.
That's not actually completely true about the Series X's VRAM. The Series X's GPU's video memory itself is 10GB, whereas the other 6GB is mostly used for other stuff like the system and operating system usage. The 12GB for the 6700 XT on the other hand is all dedicated to the video memory, so it technically has more VRAM in terms of video memory that's actually allocated for textures and graphics.
A key factor that console has over pc is game optimization and price to fulfillment ratio. Any game releasing on both console and pc will always prioritize it’s largest target market which would be console and upper mid-lower spec pcs but even more so console. Thing is is that there’s only two consoles to optimize a game for which is significantly easier and less resources/time consuming than the countless different types of pcs. Buying a high end pc is like buying a huge walk in closet and not being able to fully utilize it until a decade down the road, but by then the people who buy the most expensive hardware will want the next biggest closet once it comes out and the cycle continues. At the end of the day console will always take priority and be more optimized because that’s where the money is.
It's not optimisation... They just set it all to low and cap the FPS... With PC you have to figure out what your happy with 250 FPS low settings or 60-120fps ultra high settings... Console you get 30 FPS low settings or 60 FPS lower settings or 120 FPS ultra low settings super upscaled from 480p to 4k No thank you
@@Tubehauge it's locked at 30 FPS.... 30... Not to mention graphics and effects are dialed back, you can run the equivalent settings on PC just fine, but generally PC gamers want it to look good and run at 60 FPS or higher, I'm runwthe game just fine mostly at 120FPS, in the city its dips to 70FPS all max settings and no upscalling
@Denbot.Gaming watch some digital foundry videos. Most series x and ps5 settings are mid to high, high being the most common but they also have custom in between settings that pc doesn't have. Settings is only half the story though as mentioned above its optimisation. I'll give you a prime example. Jedi survivor. I own this game on pc and xbox. My pc has a 13900k and rtx4090 and the game runs and looks like shit on pc. Regular traversal stutter, a backed in stutter on running animation, lack of definition on textures and for the first few months after release Regular crashes. I finished the game but dealt with 12 crashes while doing so. On xbox there is no crashes and very little traversal stutter. The textures also looked awful until the most recent patch. So no matter how powerful your pc is, can't really get better for gaming then mine some games still run like crap compared to console. There have been several other games this year that have had similar issues.
@@fboost yeah I remember when they said black ops was a solid 60 on console, setting were lower than low on that as well. Its all upscaled, it can look ok but nothing beats native resolution or super resolution, that's were your using a 2k screen but rendering at 4k for example, that would give much better image quality
i rather stick with pc, i dont have to pay to play online. New games on release can often be bought for 20% cheaper on keysites. (paid 45 euro instead of 60 for hogwarts legacy on release) There are alot more fun indie games. Yes it is more expensive. But somehow i feel like i get ripped off a little less than with having a console.
I have been thinking about getting a gaming PC even though I've been a console gamer for 38 years. I have an Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch OLED, but for some reason I have been thinking about getting a $1,500 to $2,000 gaming PC. After reading some of these comments I think I'll just stick with my consoles because the only advantages that I really see to having an expensive of PC is higher frame rates and the ability to mod games. I'm not really into game modding and I'm happy playing games in 4K on my 75 in Ultra High Definition 4K Samsung Smart TV. Plus I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars for the games for my Series X and PlayStation 5 and Switch. The last reason I don't know if I want to get a gaming PC is because I like to lay down in my bed or on my couch when I'm playing games and I don't know if that would be possible with a PC.
The one thing people don’t consider is that the Xbox has input delay and on kbm you can feel it when you’re playing!! If you play on controller than Xbox or ps5 is a major win!!! Ps I have a pc and series x, so I feel the difference immediately when I swap over.
One thing I noticed that put me off when I did a similar experiment, is the very noticeable lag in response from my mouse and keyboard to the Xbox. But from the looks of it you weren't having that at all. Am I just running poor equipment? Any reason why there is a major lag from when I move my mouse to the mouses movement on screen? I'm a bit of a noob if it isn't blindingly clear.
@@AdamsOlympiaI think it’s a polling rate cap issue. There’s no reason Xbox shouldn’t have 1000 Hz polling rate but from what I’ve read it’s limited to either 125 or 250 Hz. I have a high-end monitor, mouse, and keyboard so I know it’s not my peripherals. I did just get DAv3 Pro mouse which has onboard memory where as my DA elite does not so if there are certain settings I can save to my mouse that helps I’ll let you know.
It’s worth mentioning that Red Dead 2 on console is optimized for last gen consoles and hasn’t had an update for the Series X and Ps5 to smooth out the frame rate etc.
I've been using my series x since the day it dropped and love it, but occasionally miss pc gaming, What was the value of the pc? I know they are more expensive especially with the 4070 in it, but what is it?
I finally bought a Series X about a year and a half ago and as someone who's never owned a gaming PC I have really found it incredible as I was on the Xbox one before that still. Since I got with the current gen I started a gaming channel however and that's where the Xbox Series X really gets frustrating. Capturing footage and transferring to my laptop is a pain. Only being able to record up to an hour at a time if you have a usb drive plugged in, or if not just 1 min at 1080p for game clips takes extra effort to plan and put together for videos. Now I'm starting to want to try mods for various games too so I'm actually researching what gaming PC to purchase or try and build right now as I finally have the budget! I love my Series X but I have a feeling once I get that PC it's gonna just mostly collect dust or maybe even get sold.
I own both. I switch back and forth. Xbox series X and i have an AMD 5950x with 6800XT and 32gb with two SSD samsun 980. Even though my pc has more power, the xbox is just so convenient
Hi! I just bought an Xbox Series X and when I picked it up from the box I heard a rattling noise and the more I investigated it looks like it comes from the cooler. The thing is that the cooler works fine, no noise when I turn on the console. Is the noise normal? Or should I return it?
I was just about to pull the trigger on an Xbox Series X, but I got an awesome e deal on a new Samsung 4K Gaming Monitor, and was blown away that it does everything a big screen Samsung 2023 TV does. I’ve been so impressed by the Xbox Cloud gaming App, that I’ve ended up just buying a Xbox controller to dedicate to the Samsung monitor. Might still get a Series X eventually, but at the moment it’s hard to justify when Xbox Cloud on the Samsung gaming monitor is working so well.
Sold my Xbox SX for a portable gaming laptop. It's not as good as the Xbox, but I needed something portable. I do miss my Xbox, but my laptop can do SO much more. The Xbox was good for just Plug N Play casual play. I honestly hate having to find tune/tweak every game to get it running perfectly smooth on my laptop. I miss the plug N Play of the Xbox. But I still am glad I went to PC. Really opened a lot of doors for me to gaming
The Series X is overall great for gaming with high quality and performance the only real downside are the features on PC you can just do so much more since on the XBox you can only browse the internet and play games while on PC you can also draw, make your own games and much more so if you're just a gamer the Series X is great for the price but I do recommend only buying the Series X since it's the best console currently if you can't afford a PC or just simply don't need the features a PC has
@@chinering23I'm confused on what exactly you are saying is inaccurate. Are you saying that to buy a comparable PC you wouldn't need to pay more than a console and/or are you saying that the Series X is not overall a great price for gaming with high quality and performance with the only real downside being the features you have on PC that console doesn't? Your example is more costly than the console and my understanding of the other persons comment is they are talking about comparable specs with a comparable price and saying you would need to spend more for a PC to achieve this. I assume "3060 12gb which outdoes the PS5 on its own", you just mean that the 3060 12gb GPU is better than the GPU in the PS5 which according to a quick search you are correct. And they hike the price by saying these statements, they hike the price of consoles because of what they said? I can't say either way with this. Most of any of the videos I've seen are of people trying to match the performance on PC with builds similar in price and they in some titles are better, but the average of performance is worse than the console variant and they usually have to make some type of sacrifice like buying on the used market, which nothing wrong with that, but if you are buying a new console it's not exactly fair to buy used PC parts to get something comparable. If you are fine with used PC parts then those videos are perfect for you. I suppose this could have changed recently that you can get a comparable experience with the same money and not go the used route, but I haven't noticed that and if you have a comparable build for the same price by all means share it. I would like that build cycled around so people don't pay a subscription to play online games and instead have more control over their gaming experience with all the wonderful features a PC has.
@@chinering23Oh. I thought you were agreeing with sergio not me, when you said "No not accurate at all." Since I mentioned that Snaxx was being accurate when I replied to sergio. Or at least you were disagreeing with what Snaxx was saying. A little miscommunication there. Thanks for the clarity. I'm not sure how much what they said could sway the market for PC building, but I imagine it could. I agree that most people are not spending 3K on a PC. I don't have a statistic for this though. In my case I bought my machine a few years ago and it was over a 1K purchase, I was close to 2K but I was buying more than just the tower. I bought a keyboard, mouse, mousepad and a monitor.
If you have to spend 3 times more money on a PC to outperfom a console of course you will get better performance. Series X/PS5 are more then enough to enjoy gaming without spending enormous amount of money for a good PC. Each to its own really. It comes down to personal preferences. The facts however are simple. You do need to spend a lot more money to have better performance on the PC and for a lot of people its simply not worth the hassle or money.
remember, you cant edit, do work stuff, and emulate on a console. buying a PC isnt just for gaming. that 3x the spend is worth it if you will be using it too outside of gaming. otherwise, console is a lot better for gaming if you dont do those stuff and just wanna game.
I just hate how deceiving consoles are with 4k 120hz mode. Sure, some games may support it, but it’s very very few. If they do support it, you compromise on image quality from upscaling. It’s not true native 4k 120fps. If a 4090 can’t even do that in some games, why the hell you think a $500 Xbox would lol. Just very deceiving imo.
This is why I think PC is better even if you have to pay a little more up front for a decent one (like say $200-$300 more than the $500) Xbox : 1. You don't have to pay for a subscription just to play online. 2. Games are often handed out for free on PC (Can't really argue with getting games like Ark, Borderlands 2, Control, Death Stranding, GTA 5, Killing Floor 2, Prey, Battlefront 2 and Watch Dogs 2 for absolutely free). 3. You don't have to worry about backwards compatibility. You upgrade your PC a few years down the line, you still have the same library and can still play the exact same games even if they're a few generations old. 4. You have complete control over your game settings and can tune them to your image quality/performance liking. 5. PC has both Xbox and Playstation games, and Xbox Game Pass is even still offered on PC. 6. You can spec out a PC for the specific games that you play. If you only play old games or esports games, don't worry about having to spend a lot of money just to run them. You don't have to build an expensive PC that will run Cyberpunk at 144FPS just to play Counter-Strike or Fortnite at high competitive frame rates. 7. PC typically has more and better sales on games compared to console. 8. This is really more Xbox specific, but you don't have to worry about buying proprietary and therefore more expensive storage options just to fit more games on your console. 9. The modding options. PC has way more options for modding games that console ever has.
Fortnight would have looked better at 60 fps on xbox as it turns on all the bells and whistles. Really just comes down to do you value the higher fidelity the pc will offer for the higher cost. Simplicity versus higher customization. Do YOU the person forking the money over for whatever platform you choose to play on, do you care? Thats all that matters is you and if your satisfied
Just ordered a 4070 and ryzen 7 5700x and will be attempting my first build after watching your videos 😊. Do you think i should get a 4k monitor for this build?
@@lowkeybeast2517 I still play console games with my PS5 and my Nintendo Switch but with Xbox Game Pass on my PC, I have effectively overridden my need to buy an Xbox. The games look better too
obviously you can do more with a PC, but just in terms of gaming the series X delivers outstanding performance for its price. 1440p/4k 60-120 fps gaming, what more could you really ask for especially when keeping the price of the series X in mind. Why would I want a gaming PC that costs 3x a series X when I can have a low cost, hassle free, high quality gaming experience that rivals PC’s?
Gears 5 on PC and Console just shows that The Coalition are the best studio in the industry to work with Unreal engines. I'd love them to start a new IP.
If you only have 500$ then a console is always the better choice. But if you have more money, the PC will slowly get better. You can do everything on a pc, my gaming PC really helped me through school and work.
I play my sports games on series x and my shooting games on my pc. I have my Xbox for when I want to kick back and relax. It’s one of my favorite consoles
The entire point of a Gaming Cosole is to provide a more affordable avenue for people who want to play video games. I own all 3 lol... You cant argue the value you get with Xbox as a brand. Just yesterday, Meta announced that the Meta Quest 3 vr/ar headset will have Xbox Gamepass in December🤯 In other words, you can play your xbox games or gamepass games games on a gigantic vr/ar screen... that's badass. You dont even need to own an xbox!
