Consoles are restrictive and expensive.... PC games go for a similar cost if you buys them from the shelf, but unlike Console games, PC has the ability to digitally purchase the full content.



Additionally, the PC can emulate the console experience, but the Console cannot emulate the PC experience.



Finally.....PCs can be upgraded at component level, while consoles require a full system replacement for hardware improvements. Posted by: RedRanter Report Post

PC is ahead in tech Although I'm not sure which is more popular, I like PC gaming. Don't get me wrong I'm not going to hate on any console, this is just my opinion. But one major supporting thing for me is the technology. I think that the processors and stuff are faster in PCs. Yeah you can build crappy computers, and lots of people do. But a state of the art, virus free computer with only a few games on it, in comparison to any console, I think that the PC will be faster. If you have a good video-card and monitor I think the PC will look better to. Posted by: NDKilla Report Post

Yes console companies force purchase of accessories A computer and internet are crucial for every household. With just those two you can play PC games. Console games force you to keep buying new consoles, there is no keyboard unless you buy the accessory and you also have to buy the games separately. Lots of PC games are taking the free-to-play route with microtransactions, you have to buy console games and still don't get all the downloadable content on the first purchase. Granted you need a souped up gamer PC to play the latest titles but from what I heard people that learn to do this pay less than those pre-built models for the pieces and can replace them whenever they want for less price than a high end console and it's accessories. Also why do you think consoles have gone the "playing online" route which was particularly what PC gaming was known for? They had to keep up with the competition somewhat. What's also great about PC gaming is that you can sneakily play games while you're working and your boss won't know. Posted by: jaksunmadness Report Post

Real gamers use PC's. 1. Price. Consoles are NOT cheaper. With all the overpriced hardware (controllers, adapters, extras) and the very expensive games, console users are spending way to much money.

2. Customization. When I am buying a PC, I can choose what hardware I am getting. Consoles are PC's too, but dumbed down and not customizable.

3. Upgrading. I can upgrade the video card in my PC. Try that with your Xbox, loser.

4. Mouse/Keyboard. While it's possible to plug in a keyboard into a console, only very few console games support it. Mouse and keys are still the best way to play games, especially FPS. Maybe fighting games are the only kind of game where you need a controller. But that's because they are build for controller use after all. But I can plug in a controller in my PC just fine.

5. Graphics. PC game visuals are better. Period.

6. Mod support. PC games can be modded/patched. Plenty of free mods out there that will enhance your gaming experience immensely.

7. Free stuff. Soooo many apps and games out there for free. But only on PC.

8. Free Internet. No need to pay for extra services on your PC. Just regular ISP fees. Console users however, have to pay extra for online service.

9. Consoles are made for STUPID PEOPLE. PC hardware dumbed down. They took away all those buttons that are too complicated for the average moron. Report Post

PC kicks consoles down. Consoles have nothing on the PC. NO mods for consoles. Need I say more? Consoles are restricted to online services, and they cannot bear unlimited memory. Also, tons upon tons of more games are on the PC, sure there are console exclusives, but there are way more PC exclusives out there. Report Post

Console is Inferior in Every Way At a console's release, it will usually either match or be slightly better or worse than the graphics of a PC of the same era. Within a year this is no longer true. PC technology constantly updates, upgrades, and can be switched out for better, faster, prettier gear. By the end of a console's lifetime, it's so far out of date it's depressing.

PC Gaming Better than Consoles PC gaming is absolutely better than gaming on consoles because the graphics are better and the expansiveness of gameplay is greater. Games on the PC come with more features and more solid gameplay without glitches and connectivity issues. Therefore, gamers should always consider playing on the PC rather than on a gaming console.

Pc,Killing spree, see? Please we all know pc Rules over the gaming kingdom. Reason for that is not only is it upgradeable, not only can you use your mouse and keyboard, But you can do just about anything on it. Let me put it this way



Console- Games are NOT mod capable like pc. You want a lightsaber in Skyrim WELL TO BAD! Microsoft says thats unfair on xbox and bans you(Not really) Sony says oh look you want something too bad we cant afford to do that since we got to keep hackers from destroying the Online Servers(overloading them like before)

Pc- OH you want a Lightsaber sure *download* *install* *launch* there you go! Want to make it blow everything up *edit coding* There you go! Go kill everything with your lightsaber that throws chickens that are explosive!



Also some games you can play with console players with pc. FF14:ARR for example PS3 and PS4 are on there with me and they dont mind my pc and i dont mind their PS3 cause of it we both have different playstyles but they have keyboards and mice hooked up too(sometimes)



PC will always rule cause if pc cant rule nothen can. Report Post

PC offer more... If you know what you are doing Pricier than console (Although that depends heavily on whether you know which hardware to buy or not), but lets not forget the fact that PC is not just a gaming machine. It can do just about anything, if you have the required device, of course.



For example, you want to play games with your friend via the Internet. On PS, you are locked with official server, or you can create your own room, but still via official server. On PC, by contrast, you can still play via official server, or you can create your own server (On some titles only, of course). That being said, setting up server (especially to allow connection from the internet) is not always easy.



By the way, I have seen many arguments that console gaming offers better experience because they have larger screen and better audio.... Wait... That's not even a component of the console itself!! I am not sure why so much arguments are based on that. A PC can happily play on great (For some people, LARGE) screen, and great audio.



So, I'd say if you know the tech, go with PC. If you don't, or just would like to play games without concerning the techs, go with console. Console is for gamers who would like to play games out of the box, and PC is for gamers who like freedom, and like to do things on their own. Oh, I forgot to mention, some people who like graphic details AND have the money AND know the how-to should definitely go with PC. Currently PC offer "10%.....Errr slightly better graphics" in some titles (albeit hard to notice).



Oh, last thing to mention, I don't like console that much because in this console vs PC war, a lot of console supporters are fan boys. I am not saying that all console supporters are fan boys or all PC supporters are not. But, go Google "Consoles are better than PCs" or "PCs are better than consoles", and you will know.
