because high intelligence tasks like put triangle in triangle slot and square in sqaure slot or click next next next until its done is way to hard for a regular human to do, to build a pc

PC's actually take effort and know-how. Consoles just werk.

Some gentlesirs know to savour their virginity so when the time comes, they can ravage their partner and provide the most exquisite sex the earth has ever beheld.

Most people still view computers as magic boxes from another dimension. They have no understanding at all of how they work and are intimidated by that. On top of that most people like simple, quick, easy entertainment and consoles provide that in droves.

There's not much of a reason to build and maintain a solid gaming PC when they just play Call of Duty and the occasional EA/Ubisoft title.

Same goes for weebs and fighting game players.
>>
>>339191497
Yet almost every console owner has a prebuilt PC, or even a mac. For the same money they could build a gaming PC but lack the knowledge and desire to do so.

>>339190883
Consoletards will buy anything, when the horse armor was released on pc we bitched and bitched about it but consolefags ate it like it was a chocolate cake.

And once it gained a foothold on consoles every games on pc demanded it.

Because PC has no games and isn't worth the effort.

Why else would PCfags beg for console games?

Because they're poorfags and consoles are cheap

If they had the money to afford a good PC not a single person would choose console

That is the ultimate truth

you're asking the wrong question, try again.

If PC gaming is so good, why do game developers prefer consoles?
>>
>>339192514

Still no games
>>
>>339192929
once you factor in the cost of a TV and couch, it's much cheaper to just get a $2000 PC

the online fees alone are $600 for the life of the console. what a stupid pathetic peasant
>>
>>339193262
Still cheaper than having to buy a new GPU every couple of years
>>
>>339192025
This. Any game worth a damn that isn't muh isometric strategy farm simulator #3262 or mobile-tier shit is primarily developed for consoles. And I'm not retarded enough to spend another $1000 for 30 extra fps and sharpening filters.

If building your own computer is so good, then how come prebuilts outnumber customs?

No no, those who wait. Red Dead Redemption was worth it, but the Uncharted series, except for the second one, are good looking turds.

Because it's good to be an idort

PC is a desert when it comes to new releases and I don't like to play the typical time-killers like CS:GO/DOTA2/TF2/MMOs/etc nor did I ever (or will I ever) buy EarlyAccess games or jump the ship with kickstarted projects.

The only two i've got this year were Dragon's Dogma and XCOM2. There are plenty of strategy games about to come out but honestly they are not something I would spend money to play at launch, especially since most of them are known to have a lot of issues at release (like totalwar)

PS4 has been keeping me busy every single month of this year with new releases that I can't play on PC.

In the end they complement each other. If I didn't own a good PC I wouldn't have enjoyed Dragon'sDogma at glorious 3K 60fps with no black bars, and if I didn't own a PS4 I would probably be playing some shit that isn't even fun but kills time like some mobas or CS:GO's second hand weapon market.

I used to think like this but it literally could not matter less when you're accustomed to both.
