| So , lately my friend is bragging about his new Xbox one and his brand new games and trying to make me jealous , however I pity him for wasting money on a console, the last console I bought was a Ps2 and never got anything after that , I mean why would you get a console if you have a perfectly good Pc that can surf the web provide entertainment and play games for free , it's funny when my friends tell me they spend $60 on a new game and rub it my face while I can pirate that game and play it for free however I choose not too cuz it's illegal , I just ignore them and play LOL, the best part about pc gaming is the free online games EDIT: I realized that computers can have controllers sorry for the ignorance |

| Nobody cares about your PC. |

| Nobody cares about your ...uhmm ...ehmmm.. :/ |

| There are good console exclusive games that does not even get a chance to get ported to the PC. In the end it's just a matter of preference. |

| I will always prefer PC to console; it's just so much better being able to do all your online crap, watch videos play music etc and also have access to games. And I play mainly MMOs which are 99% exclusive to PC. |
| I always thought it was the opposite, with the well known "master PC race." Personally I don't favor one over the other at all. I game mostly on PC for rts and mmo's but still have my consoles for whenever i feel like starting up kingdom hearts 2 for a quick session of nostalgia. Love both PC and consoles, no need to hate. |

| People get consoles because of the exclusives. I have a pc and I play games on it all the time, but when The Last of Us came out, I got it for my PS3 since you can only get it for the PS3. You also don't need a pc to surf the web. There are other things that people can use, like tablets, iPods, smart phones, or cheap laptops. Some people enjoy Xbox. Some enjoy PS4. Some enjoy the Wii u or 3ds. And some enjoy a gaming pc. Is it really that hard? It doesn't mean yours is superior just because you think that. |

| Exclusives and being exclusively a PC gamer is not for everyone, I couldn't do it because I'd miss out on everything Japan has to offer that isn't a VN. |
 |
| I'd get Both, I win. |
 |
| Bragging is foolish anyway, regardless of what you brag about. Wondering about people's motives for buying something is perfectly okay though. Exclusives are a solid reason, if you only buy a few games, then it might be a bit cheaper too. Personally I couldn't justify buying a console, since I don't play that much and I need a decent PC for other reasons anyway. I already have a PS3 that I got for free and which has been gathering dust for 3 years. I have sometimes used its controller with PC though. |
| If you generalize, you're wrong. |

Profit is the only thing that matters to the industry, as long as consoles are profitable, they will exist. |
| If you generalize, you're wrong. |
| Just be happy consoles exist because if a game comes out on console and gets ported to PC then there's a good chance that system requirements will be low on the PC port but still be just as good if not better. |
 |
| Where the flying fuck did you hear Pc's don't have controllers from? I found this very disturbing. Pc/laptops are the most basic things in a home and many of us have it. But consoles are not seen everywhere and only serve the purpose of gaming and just gaming. Hence, people brag about having a console because not every one has it. But those are mostly the people who haven't yet seen the capacity of a gaming pc. I personally think that PC's are better than consoles for gaming because of their vast variety of games and on every single kind of platform. It's true that consoles have games that are not out on PC and have a different kind of feeling when playing on it. So I ain't bragging about anything. I do have a gaming PC and I do have a console. |

| Why do you care what he plays? |
an egomaniac and a fool |
| How come one of your poll answers are "Yes, Pc's lag and don't have controllers" when in fact you can get a shit ton more different controllers for a PC then what you can for a console.. |
| People get consoles because: -The performance doesn't change for the worse from console to console. -Its all about plugging the device into the power outlet and a TV and play. -The exclusives. I'm saying this as a now PC guy. |

| Oh look another DAE PC MASTR RACE?!?! kid. |

Pandomia said: Exclusives. There are good games that are only being sold on consoles. You can always buy both though. Wii U is the only current gen console that interests me as it feels like it is trying to be a console unlike the other 2. It's the only way to sell their console, if every game was made for the PC then nobody would bother getting the console. Fact. |
IntervisioN said: It's the only way to sell their console, if every game was made for the PC then nobody would bother getting the console. Fact. One of the things a gamer could wish of, every game on the same platform. I shed a tear thinking how great that would have been. |
| does it really matter which one is better? It's like you two are battling over a sega genesis and snes. |

The one and only point for consoles are the exclusives of this and last generation. Oh, do you really want to move your computer to your TV every time you play, and demote the PC experience into a pseudo console with sometimes subpar experiences? There are a million things stopping anyone from doing this, and you're totally wrong about that being an only point. Like I said, consoles don't force that you research what kind of hardware do you need to run an optimized game, but rather the games get built and optimized for your own hardware, meaning less dealing with terribly slow games. Consoles and PCs have pros and cons, not a single pro for consoles like you say. |

Consoles and PCs have pros and cons, not a single pro for consoles like you say. Cables aren't usually 1 m short, at least in my experience. Pseudo console with sometimes subpar experience? Haha, if you mean that the PC version normally looks better and the loading times aren't nearly as bad. Then yes, I agree. "Research". I didn't know that looking something up which takes less than a minute classifies as research. Also, it's a load of bs console people spread. I bought my PC almost 3 years ago for 600€ and I have played all the games at high settings so far. And for the next three years, I will still be able to play everything, just not at the highest quality anymore. Cables are always going to be mess. There are no guarantees that all the PC games you're going to buy is going to run better and look better with the current hardware. Usually these PC games you overhype are really unoptimized, though loading times, I can give you that. It is still a sub par experience if you're gonna make it a console, but hey, PCs are supposed to be PCs, not consoles. Nah, research takes more than just a minute. You'd need to know a good processor, a good GPU and a motherboard to combine them while also keeping enough budget for the rest of the computer. Stop making PC building look easier than it actually is. You have to admit there were games that never run on high settings well. Unoptimized games lurk on the PC a lot more than you think. Not dealing with unoptimized games or this whole settings fiasco is an advantage for the consoles, clearly. |

| I personally have never bragged about it. I just enjoy gaming, simple as that. Doesn't matter to me if it's on a console or PC, so long as I can play video games. I do prefer consoles, but only because they are more convenient for me to use and set up, I am not tech savy enough to use the latter. XD |

XD Same here, except that I love the PC more because keyboards and mouse (and that your sig reminded me of it, Sonic games). However, I don't have an issue playing on consoles; I've been playing on the PS and PS2 long before I knew about the PC and I want to fix them soon so I could play Spyro and Crash. |

| I know right ? PC is objectively better than a console (minus the exclusives for unemulatable consoles) |
| This is easily the most retarded thread I have seen in my life. |

| I play both PC and console. PC - I own more games for the PC by far for 3 main reasons 1. Steam/GOG - With Steam/GOG sales, PC games are abundant and cheap, and if a new game is multi-platform, chances are I'm buying it on Steam. If it's PC exclusive, I'm still probably buying it on Steam. 2. Mods - Mods make good games great, great games amazing, and awful games good. To me, mods greatly raise the value of the games I get just by adding to the experience. I love mods, and they are easily the best reason to play on PC, imo. 3. Versatility - Sure, you can surf the web on a console, but I always thought it was a little slow and clunky feeling. Much faster and easier on a PC. Also, emulators. I no longer own a SNES, N64, or PS1, but I don't really need to, because I can emulate. The PC is itself a multi-platform system. Consoles - I own a PS3, and have easy access to a 360 and a Wii, and I own far more console exclusives than PC exclusives. Games like The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption, and various JRPGs like Dragon's Dogma, Tales of..., etc don't see a PC release. But these games are fantastic, and well worth owning a console for. I don't own many console games, but the ones I do would easily be put onto a list of my favorite games, with a few exceptions (looking at you, FFXIII). If those console exclusives were suddenly ported to PC, I'd probably be PC master race all the way, but they aren't, so I play on, and enjoy, both. |
