Why is /v/ so PC-centric nowadays?
Because the next gen of consoles are generally not worth it at this point and a lot of people will instead of upgrading their console just move to pc.
The jap shit isn't out yet.
Most popular releases are across multiple platforms, eventually ending up on PC
It's almost like most people use a computer to browse websites?
>>317732468
Reddit invaded
Because consoles have no games, family (laughs)
>>317732468
/v/ was always PC centric above all else. Then the Sonyfags came and tried to claim their superiority.
Because ps4boneU are shit and only have a handful of worthwhile games.
This board is mostly 16-18 year olds. That demographic is really into f2p shit and minecraft, which get people on the PC platform to begin with.
Then they save up their part-time money/gift money/etc to build an actual gaming PC or even just stick a 750ti into the family desktop when no one's looking. Or they tell their parents they need a laptop for school and make sure it has one of those mediocre nvidia gpu's.
Seriously it's because this board is mostly kids and they have an easier time jewing their parents into buying them a game-capable PC than a literal game console.

I cannot believe a terrible meme started by THE Fedora lord king, is still going on
Fuck yahtzee. Like all "cynical british" guys, he's pure fucking cancer.
>he's completely serious
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh2Tevkj2nQ
>>317732468
Everybody bought PCs near the end of last gen due to huge price/performance disparity. Since the new gen was such a minor upgrade most games still play perfectly fine on 3-4 year old PCs.
When reddit came and overtook /v/, they naturally bought a lot of r/pcmasterrace fags with them.
/v/ is a shithole. 75% Mustards, no wonder every thread is either filled with shitposting or port begging
Man, it's almost like someone who spends more than the average persons annual income on a device they use a few hours a day, have to work REALLY HARD to justify it.
>>317734114
Every fucking "$400 console killer!!11" build always ends up begging you to find shit off craigslist for 70% off. Or the hardware is barely good enough to match PS4 performance in SOME games TODAY, but can't be trusted to maintain that as the generation continues.
>>317732686
Pretty much this. I always had a PC but I also bought consoles. This gen nothing looks good.
>>317734114
A GOOD pc is 600 bucks at least.
A FUCKING AMAZING MONSTROUS RIG that runs everything on a dual/triple screen setup at 120+ fps and 144hz is going to be 1500 at least
>>317732468
because PC gaming is far better than console gaming, and /V/ isnt entirely retarded
>>317734114
Lol what? You could build a TV to run any game at higher resolution than consoles (1080p) at settings better than consoles for less than 1k.
Anything more than that isnt just a good PC, its a monster
PC gaming itself was/is a dying breed. Then this stupid "PC MUSTARD RACE XXDD!!11" meme started and not every literal normie took it to heart.
/v/ has always been PC and Nintendo centric.
Everybody owns a PC that can at least play smaller games and emulate older stuff. Multiplats come to PC, so the next best console to get would the Nintendo one due to the focus on exclusives over multiplats.
It's also probably because a good percentage of /v/ are teenagers who can't afford other platforms, these are usually the most vocal advocates of their systems as well.
>be a gamer
>don't own your own gaming PC
Are you guys for real?
Part of being a gamer is enjoying technology and building your own PC is the ultimate Nirvana.
>>317734440
Every where does this to /v/. /v/ is like the 4chan America, everyone drops their immigrants here and NONE OF THEM feel they need to settle in and adapt
I think the most recent case of this is /pol/'s gigantic influx of 17 year old "libertarians" who inject extremist rightwing propaganda into every post they make
>>317733131
so /v/ thinks PC gaming is playing games on a prebuilt Dell or HP?

No, a good PC is 800 minimum. Any less and you are playing at sub 1080p and sub 60fps, which is apparrently unplayable to mustards. I'm not even buying a high end card and I'm up to like 900
With blackfriday deals.
>>317733057
I think you got the memes mixed up a little. Consoles are known as to be a cheap babysitter for lazy parents. Its main audience are chadlads and raging 12 year olds because there are more a action oriented games on consoles. Ofcourse these games are also on pc but pc also has more mature games like EVE online or strategy games.

Because it's literally master race. I have a $600 rig and can run any form of media I want - for free. Well not a lot of games on ultra but I'm not a graphics fag so that's perfectly fine.
I really can't think of a single reason to even own a console, outside of being a normie who has friends to play with.
>>317734765
You're a fucking idiot, this board was nothing but Disgaea and Phoenix Wright until like 2009. Yeah that's right, you heard me you little shit, this was a shitty board for shitty weebs and occasional PS3nogaemz memes.
No one talked about PC here until this decade, fuck off.
>>317734617
As evident by how ignorant /v/ is on modern PC prices
This board probably runs 750TI's and considers it good. An actual decent card costs more than a PS4 with games
>>317733034
Nope. I'd say Nintendo-centric if anything. I still remember how hyped it was for DS and almost nobody even posted against it. The platform wars mainly started with 360/PS3/Wii gen, before that there was just slight rivalry. PC userbase was the smart and quietest one at the beginning but then went full "MASTER RACE! CONSOLE PEASANTS! :D"
>>317734765
Sounds like you're projecting because it wasn't until recently that this became Mustard circle jerk central
>>317732468
>what is a "vocal minority"?
>>317734912
Hello reddit
>>317734424
That explains whenever someone here tells someone else to fuck off to reddit - they're just jaded pkeks who migrated here because they couldn't circlejerk about their pee sees anymore.
>>317734797
>Newfag calling others new
Wow.
>>317734837
Sure looks like it, not even memeing. A massive increase in facebook game players is not gaming.
>>317734921
750ti is perfect for diaperfags because you could buy it with a few weeks' allowance and it won't fry your family prebuilt.
It's annoying. I have a fairly decent PC but there wasn't really that much to play this year. I played Witcher 3, Fallout 4 and GTA V and that's about it. But that doesn't really bother me since I have other platforms to play games on. The real problem is whenever you talk about a game that's not on PC someone will try to ruin the thread with port begging. I don't know where this mentality comes from, I don't know who'd wait a couple of years for a port or why they feel the need to turn threads about games into platform arguments but it fucking needs to stop.
>>317735018
We're not talking about furries.
>>317732468
/v/ has always been pc-centric. However, PC gaming, in general, has gotten more popular.
Because PS4 is shit and marketers are crawling all over /v/ trying to shill it even though we don't want it

Tell me how much sales are made on PC? You fools spend so much money on "rigs" only to torrent games because you're too poor to even purchase vidya. Waiting for "le steam sales." Using petty excuses to torrent games like a glitch, some small texture issue, etc.
I'm not defending gaming, either. Yes, it's cancerous too. Devs are shameful but what l have said above is true as well.
>>317732468
Because consoles are an inferior method of playing vidya.
Same reason you can't talk about bad games on /v/ without having people call you a shill really.
If you own a console, you're trash and you don't understand modern vidya.
>>317732468

You mean way WAY less than just 3 years ago? and even more the longer you go back.
I remember when there was actually a sustainable crpg community here.

>>317735296
>/v/ma
that shit that started in like 2011? the year everyone else is saying is when PC got popular here? please go on
I'm finally about to build a proper gaming PC since 10 years. I'm hyped as fuck: I finally get to play all the new multiplayer games I've been missing out and I get to pirate FO4 and other AAA games I've avoided coz of high prices. And I get to try different interesting mmos and drop them a few weeks later like my friends and /v/
However... will I find out that barely any worthy game comes out on PC and all the power is just there waiting uselessly, or will the 700-1000 dollar PC be worth every bill? Atleast the amount of ports have been increased lately, right?
>>317735070
Im an oldfag.
Pc has been mustard since before 09.
I cant believe we have to continue putting you filthy console fags in your place.
>>317734519
>A FUCKING AMAZING MONSTROUS RIG that runs everything on a dual/triple screen setup at 120+ fps and 144hz is going to be 1500 at least
No.
60FPS is good enough because consoles aren't pushing it.
And you don't need triple monitors for a MONSTROUS RIG. You only need two monitors: one portrait mode for web browsing and playing arcade games, and one landscape mode for the usual.
800 to 1000USD would be more like it. If Britbong, probably 700 quid.
>>317735072
This.
PCfats tend to assume their platform is increasing in popularity.
Truth is, its nothing more than ASSFAGGOTS and Brazilians/Russians inflating numbers. Actual games tend to be broken at launch, or even forgotten in a few weeks
While PC gaming was always around, the whole leddit-driven mustard race shitposting started to get out of hand in the 2010s.
>>317732468
It's less PC centric than, say, 3 years ago.
It's more nintendo centric now than anything. This happened when Gaben stopped being a worshipped being here and it became acceptable to call out Valves bullshit and jewery.
Now it's nintendo you can't ever point out is scummy or jewy. Hell, you may even get banned for it if a mod didn't like your tone.
>>317732468
Because the Xbone and the PS4 are just turnkey proprietary gaming PC's. The real thing is much better.
>>317733156
Well from at least 2007 it has been pc-centric, since that's when I started, and it seems to me it's more console-centric now than it's ever been.
>>317735368

I was excited but then was told my budget of 900 (which I felt was already pushing it) isn't near enough for a "modern gaming PC" So I just bought a PS4 and new TV instead.

Which was only half of my answer. check /v/ goty polls of anything pre-2010 as well

>>317735849
Dude we fucking get it, you didn't browse /v/ until this decade and are autistic enough to argue with people who've been here longer about what the board was like before that
>>317734912
Not him, but you missed /v/'s regular threads about TF2, Starcraft, WoW, Dota, LoL, Doom, X-COM, grand strategy, roguelikes, etc. Nowadays its not as much because those and many others moved to /vg/ and /vr/.
Plus I heard about "PC master race!" back when Halo was still the main popular console shooter franchise and we used to have several threads shitting on it and bitching that the industry was making more casual console shooters to cash in on it's popularity. Same shit later when Modern Warfare 2 came out and we were bitching that they removed things like dedicated servers (everyone still bought it anyway, similar situation to Fallout 4 now). If anything, the fact that we have threads about those franchises with people hyped about the next releases or people having nostalgia for them (halo whatever number was better than it's sequel!) shows that the console kiddies invaded in full force.
Consoles are a scam. They're pretty much just budget PCs now without any of the good shit. The higher expense of a PC is usually the cost of owning a ps4/xbone during its generation while paying the monthly fees. You're going to end up paying around the same price eventually anyway but are getting something so much worse that its barely worth the upfront price as well. Sure you could get an old junker car and it'd work just fine for a while but you know it performs like shit and has lots of hiccups. Most people with some sense know to save up and buy something truly worth the money.
Console users are bad consumers. Console fags congregate on their normie forums/reddit/facebook while PC Players try to stay away from these cesspools and come here and other places to discuss things.
>>317732468
because life is shit, and pc helps us hide more
>>317735072
I don't know what you mean, PC is getting more multiplats than ever.
Fraxis and Parasox are doing fine, indie games are managing to prodice at least one good game every half year at minimum,
PC has active MMOs and MOBAs that make mad money, it has RTS games that are slowly coming back.
This is only naming the genres I've dabled in. There are sims, citybuilders, FPSs it's not even funny how healthy PC is.
Just because you don't care for those games doesn't mean they don't exist.
>>317735861
Mmos dont count as pc gaming the same way a chef frying an doesn't count as cooking.
>>317735953

I bet you also buy music too. Only normies buy video games.
>>317735724
Well that worries me. My friend told 700 is enough though and other people are buying 1000 dollar PCs from what I've heard. I'm gonna get a new PC anyways since my laptop might break down any day and I got the monies.
I'd get a PS4 but I probably can borrow it from my brother.

>Multinational corporation Bethesda spends a shitload of money on a party with celebrities to promote Fallout, even though most people don't pay attention to that shit

In my 19 year long experience with being a vid con hobbyist, I've learned one thing. Being in "love" or having a "companion" is nothing but a huge burden to you. This "succubus" that you fall for will end up leaving you and taking everything you have. Being in love should be treated more like a sickness than something that people admire and celebrate. I am currently 26, never had a girlfriend, never had sex, and I am a thousand times happier than all those suckers who fell for the relationship trap. While I make a good living, which helps me pay my bills and leaves me with more than enough time and money to support my vid con hobby, these guys who think they are better than you for having a girlfriend are miserable, paranoid, and broke. If everyone in the world focused on being more intellectually superior and less on when the next pussy that you're gonna smash is gonna come along, the world would be a much better place.
>>317736180
>Console fags congregate on their normie forums/reddit/facebook
Reddit is even more PC-centric than here.
I'm convinced it's the only place on the internet you'll find a dedicated street fighter community where everyone plays on fucking steam of all things.
And any thread on r/games about a console-only games ends in nothing but port-begging.
>>317736215
"egg".
How soon should I upgrade from my 280x? I only spend about $800 on my PC at the end of last year/beginning of this one and it does 1080p/60fps on at least high in most games, which currently is all I really need.
>>317736215
food analogies again,
what is it with people here and idiotic food analogies

Most of the console spam was limited to kind-of-containment console war threads, where Nintendrones could duke it out with Sonyggers or Xbots.
People also tend to forget that /vp/ exists for a reason, non-PC fags are literally cancer.
>>317736180
This argument has been made since forever ago and it will never be smart as long as difference in libraries exists.

I've been here since 06. I'm 28. Yes, that's sad, but that's besides the point. I used to browse /b/ alot and moved to /v/ for my love of vidya. There wasn't anything related to PC master race. Face it, anon. PC gaming is a meme.
>>317736649
Some people actually think it's nowdays and that includes native speakers. It's one of those "I've written this word wrong my whole life because I'm stupid" things.
>>317736180
I also see them as a scam but for other reasons.
They are kind of like extortion boxes, you pay less money up front, but the console owner uses his newfound position to make you pay for internet and to take money for devs for selling games on his console.

>pc also has more mature games like EVE online or strategy games.
The delusion is real.
>>317736413
Have there been any problems? I'm going for the same price range and wouldn't want a dip to 20fps on any game.
because console gaming sucks and it only takes a minimal amount of common sense/research to figure that out
>>317736196
Yeah and some of those multiplats are trash in quality. BAMHAM ARKHAM KNIGHT was basically outsourced to a shit company and "ported" as barebones and no-cost as possible. Doesn't sound like something you'd do to a massively giant market bigger than consoles.
Same shit happened with MK X. Again, outsourced the port to a budget studio to save costs because they don't care about PC gaming.
Remember watchdogs literally having settings that were marked as turned off because "Only for PC so who cares"?

>>317736297
Don't be a kek. With 700 bucks you will get a nice gaming PC that will play all the games you ever want on 1080p. The reason some enthusiasts are going for over 1k bucks PCs are for 4k/VR gaming. But if all you want is play videogames you can easily play with a 700 buck PC.
>>317735880

You're full of shit, how do you figure? Because PS+?
50 dollars a year. IN eight fucking years (so that's if the gen actually went 10 years long which it won't) that's 400.
The console is 350, WITH GAMES, 300 without.

You aren't a PC gamer. You're a console gamer who bought into some shitty cult-meme because your life is fucking empty.
>>317737363
People always state "nah dude 700". It's like they think prices are in a vacuum and don't fluxuate over time. Maybe it was 700 when you built your PC 5 years ago. It isn't now.
If it is, please post a list that is 1080 capable high on ALL games, 60 fps on ALL games, for 700.
And without cheaping on parts. No trash 50 dollar mobo that you'll need to replace in a year, no garbage PSU that will fry your components, no ancient case that isn't even compatible with modern MOBO.
>>317737386
Not just subscription prices, your games also cost much more.
Pc can cost full price sure, but you have the option of waiting for HUGE sales or even piracy, which is free. If you're short on money, consoles are a terrible solution.
>>317737451
>Console exclusives are usually just your run of the mill cinematic experience corridor shooters with fancy motion capture animation.
>>317732468
Because modern consoles suck. Gen 7 was an absolute fucking disaster. None of the consoles had any games in that gen.
Gen 8 sucks too. The Wii U is the best console, but that's not saying it's particularly good. It's somewhat decent but it could be much better. I expected much more out of Nintendo. The Xbox One has no games, and the PS4 only has Bloodborne. When a console only has 1 game, that's damaging to gaming because it shows that people will buy a console for one game. You Sonyggers made Bloodborne cost $460, good job. It could have just been on Steam for $20, but no. You guys won't stop buying consoles so this is what happens.
I'm tired of these lawyer, politician consoles and gamers. "The Wii U is the best console of the gen!" Yeah but you don't actually think it's good. You're comparing it to two turds, so you're being dishonest; of COURSE it's good compared to the PS4 and Xbox One.
Remember when debates over which console was the best actually came from the heart, and didn't involve these stupid little middle schoolers with their notepad document lists of games saved to their mom's hard drive, to "prove" that their console has games? Remember when consoles had so many good games that you could rattle off 20 games right off the top of your head?
And you fags say video games didn't get worse. The acceptance of mediocrity killed gaming. You should have gone and fucked up some other hobby. Why did you have to ruin mine?

ps4 has more expensive games + forced online fees for the rest or the console's life. thats well over the upfront initial difference. not to mention consolefags will rebuy PS4 games on PS5 for "HD remakes". Instead of just turning up the settings
>>317737064
Skyrim was unplayable on PS3 after some hours
Consoles get bad ports as well
>>317737581
Even if it was 700$, thats around the price of owning one of the ps4/xbone consoles and using it to its fullest with monthly fees and such. Its great really, they honestly and truly believe they're getting a deal when they buy a console.
>>317737064
crap ports happen and it is upsetting,
but it's still better than the console version 99% of the time, so there is no reason not to use PC
>>317737712
They fixed that after a few weeks. It was still the weakest version overall though.
>>317737639
>Your games cost more
The games cost the same, AAA blockbuster games do not cost less on PC. Sales from steam are trash compared to years back and are barely noteworthy anymore.
Battlefront is 120 dollars on any platform. Bamham knight was 60 bucks on all platforms. They stopped releasing AAA games for cheaper on PC like 5 years ago
>>317737653
Listen , YOU SLUT, you are a cancer to the video game industry. You and SLUTS like you are the reason why games have be casualized to the point of not being fun.You are only embracing this "nerd culture" because its the in thing to do. Where were you 15 years ago when I was getting thrown in lockers and beat up because I was a nerd playing video games? Oh yea thats right, you were on your knees sucking jock Chads COCK LIKE A WHORE. Fuck you, you aren't a true gamer. Mobile and facebook games ARE NOT TRUE GAMES. Even if you play on console or pc , you play the most basic flavor of the month easy games and act like you are so into the "culture". You aren't even good at games I bet, you fucking BITCH. So yes I do like games, I like video games a lot, which is why I hate you because you are what is wrong with games nowadays. I wish you would just leave now, thank you.

>more expensive games
False. You are a liar.
>sub cost
Already proven to still come up to under 900 after a fucking decade
Also you completely disregard the free games + gets yet try to argue steam sales as a point seller. Off yourself.
>PC GAMES ARE CHEAPEERRRRR
I can go on ebay right now and find tons of people selling their used copies of games for like 15-90% off depending on how new it is.
Used game market is literally nonexistent on PC. Enjoy your licenses that can be taken from you at any moment.
>>317737769
I don't know, with a five finger discount you can get any pc game for free.
Also another hidden price for consoles.....if one single component goes bad......you have to buy a whole new console. The pc master race can just replace the broken component.
>>317737652
Fucking this. I remember people told me TLOU was the "Citizen Kane of gaming" and that it was a perfect 10/10 game and that I should buy a PS3 for it.
Well I played it at my friend's house a few weeks ago. Turns out it's just a generic "cinematic" piss easy controller-only shooter that literally did nothing new. "Citizen Kane of gaming" my fucking ass. And I was being told that this was a 10/10 game and so good that it was worth buying the console for.
PC Gaming is more accessible now with stuff like Steam and upgrading your computer is easier than ever. It is honestly a general trend across gaming communities.

>>317737901
>The PC master race can just replace the component
Sometimes. If it's a PSU everything likely fried, hope you have another grand in your pocket. If the mobo is old, you will likely need to replace everything just to replace the one broken part, which is what I ran into recently
>CPU breaks
>have to buy a new mobo as well

>>317738171
But we established you'd need to be using PS+ for a decade to come even close to a PC cost, so that is a moot issue.
>>317736413
I would wait. AMD just released the 380x, and the conscience is that it is basically a 280x. The next-gen is GPUs are coming out next year, although I think nvidia is coming out first... As usual...
Anyone saying the majority of /v/ users aren't PCfags is delusional. PCfags and Idorts are the majority of this board, and only shitposter would say otherwise.
>>317738315
During some baltimore riots a bunch of /pol/ kiddies got on twitter to pretend they were niggers looting and organizing around a hashtag called #BaltimoreLootCrew
The idea was to trick the media into thinking it was legit and increasing public negativity towards black people. Most of them were too dumb to switch away from their anime avatars though so people quickly caught on that it was some 4chan shit and ignored it.

Are there any GPU's that can run games well that don't cost more than a console these days? It's a hard sell on console gamers when the GPU for a machine runs more than a PS4 with games.

>>317738610

>>317738597
A 3GB 280x is probably good enough for 1080p/60fps in all games for the rest of the generation, don't expect to totally max out AA etc though.
>>317737769
>AAA blockbuster games do not cost less on PC
Fucking yes they do, at least here in yurop. There are more stores than steam and even large chains are usually cheaper for PC, don't even have to go to shady key sites.
Fallout 4 is a bit on the expensive side however, usually they go for around €40-50so I just got a shady key for €40.
It's marginally cheaper on the PSN store, €70 I think.
>>317738391
lol I wish. I am running one of those said trah toasters.
I can barely play fucking PS3 ports. And even then, at worse FPS and worse resolution than the PS3 would.

>>317738493
What are you going off to prove this? Is it "appearance"? Are you njudging /v/ is majority PC because of volume of posts you see supporting PC? Because that's like the worst way to measure it. It was pathetic when gays tried to say /v/ was gay because gays are vocal, or when furries did the same thing. It's no less retarded when PCFats do it.
>>317737952
>PC Gaming is more accessible
This. I've actually never understood why people say that console gaming is more accessible. When I play a game on my PC I click 2 times and I'm in the game. Playing console games is a bigger hassle because of more shitty wires to play around with, longer loading times, physical games, mandatory updates that prevent you from playing your games until you update, etc.

It's funny that people still want to maintain that Bloodborne threads were 100% just NeoFAG sonyggers versus /r/pcmasterrace queers, when in reality, most of the shitposting was clearly just down to idort shitposters stirring up trouble.

Because I don't want deal with #greatnessawaits and hourly shilling
I just follow what my friends are doing so I can continue playing with them. They all got on PC in the past couple years. Each dropped like a grand on a nice-ass rig.They each have like 20 games on steam and barely ever sign on or play. A couple of the girls got really into FFXIV which I think runs on most laptops anyway.
I don't get why people go ham on building a PC and then barely use it.
>>317738592
Why did you buy a console if you don't like video games?
>>317738930
>assumptions
You said this to the wrong person, fucktard. I complete all the games I play if they're good. Sometimes I even complete games that I don't like, just so I can get the full experience and say for sure that I don't like it. I'm better than you at all of your favorite games, including games you've been playing your whole life and I've never even heard of.

With a console at least I know I am getting a machine with okay performance for a kind of okay price (or in previous gens because everything is a buggy mess nowadays) . But the price of consoles are getting kind of ridiculous that or I am a miser because my parents used to buy me consoles.

Holy fuck this. No one here can agree on a good PC build for a good price, it always fluxuates heavily by several hundred dollars.

>>317732468
Because like dudebros and normies who at least have an excuse due to being inherently retarded by mindlessly following whatever is mainstream, a good portion of /v/ is made up of lazy lardasses and college dropouts who lack the mental capacity and/or motivation to make their own research and learn the truth on their own.
If people weren't so lazy and conformed they'd easily find that building a PC is the grown-up equivalent of playing with LEGO, and consoles (as well as some prebuilts) are nothing short of a "on the go" exploitation of said laziness and/or refusal to learn.
Then they buy a console and mindlessly parrot their favorite fairytales ("eyes can't see above 24 fps!" "dude it costs exactly 2.7 scrooge mcduck vaults to buy a decent pc") so they can sleep at night without doubting they made the right choice.
It fucking pisses me off how people are willfully ignorant and completely adamant about every single one of the words they exhumed from their asses to their last. Almost as much as how long it's taking for people to realize how PCs are superior.
>>317739412

Kid you don't need to pay that much for a gaming PC. For around 700 bucks you can have a solid PC that will last you years to come.
>>317737581
For less than 700 bucks I build a solid PC that will play all the latest games at 1080p at Ultra/High easily. Trust me when I said this, there's no excuse to own a console over a gaming PC.

>>317738417
we didnt establish anything, you just made up facts to suit your argument, liek a typical retarded peasant
The upfront cost difference is about $200 (you can build comparable PC for $500-$600)
That will be made back automatically after 2 years of PS+, even when you put aside the price of game difference

Console gamers are delusional by default because they don't understand that their consoles are just weakened PCs, sold for more than what they're worth and owned by a company.
