It's 2016, you have no good reason to buy a console anymore now that gaming PCs can be had for 300 dollars.

Well I guess if someone is too retarded to build a PC he deserves to play on consoles.

And that nerd stigma around PCs seems to be a USA only thing. In Germany it's pretty much the other way around.

I live in the UK and it very much is still a thing. Most people still consider gaming in general a geeky past time, and if they do indulge it's mainly FIFA and COD.

It used to be, but nowadays it's the same shit. Consoles were GOAT in the times when all you had to do is put a cartridge in and hit the power button and you had the game. No buggy rushed releases with gigabytes of updates, no unoptimized games with shitty performance etc. It used to be great. But somebody had to fuck things up and now all we have are a few hours of graphic demos.

The Xbone is a piece of shit, but that article is retarded. It says it can't output in 4K, despite the fact that its biggest selling point is the UHD Blu-ray compatibility. It also whines about it not being 40% "slimmer" based on a side-on photo, when it's clear to anybody who isn't retarded that the 40% figure was by overall volume, not a measurement taken on one side. The complaint about not being "feature-complete" because it requires a FREE adapter to connect up a Kinect is also retarded, especially as Microsoft dropped Kinect like it was hot even before the launch of the original Xbone. The other two points about muh price and muh obselescence are subjective at best.

10/10 would rage at the state of "journalism" again.
>>
>>55172057
>It's a Terry is having a schizophrenic episode thread
>>
>>55172059
The article says the games won't be rendered 4K, only upscaled to 4K. Not that it can't output 4K.

>The other two points about muh price and muh obselescence are subjective at best.
I think those are very good points. Console generations are generally three to four years apart so if you have an Xbox One now there is no reason to get an S when you will see the new generation in a year, and if you don't have one now there's also no reason to get an S when you could get the standard edition for cheaper and play all the same games, and then get the next generation next year when there is an actual selection of UHDBD content to choose from.

This isn't as retarded as the waitfags in the GPU scene where new cards are released every 6~9 months.

Other than that there is no difference between PC and console gaming now days except that you get a huge back catalog on PC where as you have to own 50 consoles to play an equivalent backlog.

Great joke, Xbone still uses SATAII, it's faster to attach an SSD via USB3.0 than to mount it internally

No, I just have reasons, and they go beyond just exclusives. I have a gaming PC in my "games room", I have an Xbone, 360 and a PS4 in my livingroom and Xbone in my bedroom, I like having it all, and I don't want to build a PC for each room (or buy a pre-built one). Also, my 4 year old daughter loves video games, but she's not having access to my PC, so the consoles are good for her, and I have a lot of friends who don't have PCs, so multiplayer is another reason.
