****Official Pc vs Console thread****

[hometeam]

Well, with the way some threads get going in here, and not wanting to poop in other peoples threads, I figured this is a good way to pass some time.

I wouldn't be mad if a mod went through the last PC V Console posts in the next gen thread and moved them over

I'll start -









I would like to point out the above image that currently the revenue for consoles is currently higher. This is because console games, on average, are nearly twice the price of PC titles.



DISCUSS

edit: I would like to bring conversation in other threads to this thread as they appear, to avoid hijacking legit console or other media threads~

There's a whole lot of menstrual in this thread about it, though.

CPMS

Not just once a month.

I feel like Hometeam is being a Richard Sherman for the PC side.

The only reason this thread is started is because dipshits like to tout that PC gaming is dying, or that console game is superior in some way (LOL)

It was made for the same reason one would create a thread to bash young earth creationists.

Its absurd, and they deserve punishment~

Besides, this is the biggest thread on media center, what the **** else we gonna do in the offseason

Do you know what that site tracks? Retail.

Do you know how the majority of PC games are purchased?

Probably not. You havent had a clue this whole time.

Remember, consoles are limited to certain countries. China is the bigger reason why pc software sales are so high. You do realize China just lifted a console ban after 14 years in their country.

From that other article you linked:

The report points out that China is the fastest-growing and largest market for PC games with nearly $7 billion of revenue. Not only does China have a rapidly-growing economy, the console market is non-existent there, giving rise to PC as the dominant platform.

Consoles are better for sports.

I have said thisn11tybillion times.

The rest is a wash.

While I agree with the FPS comment I actually have better accuracy in FPS games on consoles than I do on pc.

Honestly it comes down to this:

If PC received every big third party game that consoles do I would go PC and PC only. Can you imagine the modding capabilities in a game like WWE 2k? Unfortunately, it isn't going to happen.

I agree.

If games like wwe2k Madden, The show came out on PC i wouldn't even own a console anymore.

Modding is AMAZING. NBA 2k14 may not be like the ps4 game but mods make it better then the Ps3 and 360 verison. Better graphics custom scoreboards like you would see in a real NBA game. OUTSTANDING. That's the only thing I think Consoles have over PC there are some big name games that don't get released on PC.

I think Hometeam said he would do it for 100 bucks or so.

Any site that charges for that isn't going to be cheap.

I bet it's cheaper to buy all the parts and take it in to a local PC store.

I still watch building a pc videos just because it's addicting.

This guy posts a bunch of building a pc videos. He's been doing it for 20+ years and has people order parts and send them directly to him and then he ships the built pc out.

FPS games on consoles use assisted-aim aka "sticky aim" where you just need to move the crosshairs to a certain threshold close to the target and it will target assist for you. It's just a fact that you have more per-pixel control with you're entire hand and forearm muscles than you do with a single opposable thumb. Also, as I've stated numerous times in this thread already, that isn't a PC vs Console argument (like 99% of the arguments being made here). You can use a controller with a PC if you really wanted to..
