With PS4.5 99% confirmed and MS joining the bandwagon, what is the point of buying a gaming console instead of a PC now that consoles are being [s]replaced[/s] upgraded with better hardware?
you should stay in reddit and stop making this shitty thread over and over again retard
Could you at least try harder with the bait?

normalfags would rather be braindead and spend 500 dollars every 2 years instead of taking a few minutes to actually research and learn how PCs work
The higher-power consoles will become the middle class that the old consoles were, and the low-spec ones will be the new scum class.
It's almost 5 /v/

>Implying a top of the range graphics card is cheap
>>334856293
Certainly costs less then what the poor souls who bought a PS4 will have payed if they want a 4.5. This is a pretty greasy move by Sony. "Hey loyal early adopters! Buy a nearly identical machine or get games that run like shit for the next half decade!"
>>334856512
Its not even like buying a new model car, where its a totally valid move to wait a year or two before buying it. With that, you know that you're trading time enjoying it for getting a product thats had problems worked out and subtle improvements added. Nobody could have predicted a console hardware upgrade coming out, except for maybe an insane Sega exec locked in an asylum somewhere in Hokkaido.

290 costs less than a PS4 currently, It's still miles more powerful than even the 4.5
fuck off to plebbit and stay on plebbit you dumb fucking nigger
There was never a point in buying console over PC unless you're just a shitter

>GTX 980
>$500
That's just the graphics card
>>334858678
If you knew anything you'd know the 980 is a horrible deal for what it is and just slightly more powerful than a 390 which is far cheaper.
refurb or used 290x can be had very cheap at places like gpushack as well.

>buying Nvidia
Please don't, you'll regret it come this fall when the cards lose 200% performance per driver update

Exclusive Japanese games. That's the only reason to ever buy a console.
I'm glad more jap games are coming to PC nowadays, Tales of Berseria for example.
>>334858831
>$330
>+ everything else to build a new PC
>Yes, even including a monitor to acommodate the grafix, a keyboard, and a mouse
Shit's too much
>>334860280
I got my 390 for 290 dollars
>including monitor
Do you include the tv in the price of the console you fucking pillock?
>>334860280
Also even if it was 200 dollars more expensive or so up front you'd save that just from games alone so quickly since PC prices are miles better.
Even more if you pirate most
AND it can be used for things other than gaming far better than consoles.

I do when I have to buy an HD TV just to play on them (a.k.a. When HD consoles first came out). Besides, an HD TV is still more common than a 1080p 60Hz monitor
>>334855539
>PS4.5 99% confirmed
by literally nobody that wasn't starting with "muh source said". It's not a leak if you don't have any document in hands, kid.
>PS4K - $500
>PSVR - $400
>PS Move sticks - $100
>4K UHD TV - $2000
but consolefags said it was cheaper
>>334857828
What the fuck am I supposed to do with just a GPU, you dumb nigger?

Build a computer, Instead of spending $450 every 2 years.
>build $1000 PC
>play games at 1080p/60fps
>buy a $400 console every 2 years
>play games at 900p/20fps
>>334860765
Then just use your shitty tv as a monitor holy fuck
>>334862306
Why would I settle for that when I already would have built an expensive as fuck PC by then? Obviously, I would have to get a monitor at some point to play it at its highest capacity
>>334862483
Do you change your bloody TV everytime you get a new console ?
>>334862483
>expensive as fuck PC
>only a little more than a ps4Kuck
You're retarded mate
I'm sure whatever dinky HD tv you have it's still probably 1080p with a 60hz refresh.
>>334862696
TVs also have horrible input lag. Why would I want to deal with that?
Also

>an HD TV is still more common than a 1080p 60Hz monitor
In the third world perhaps.
>>334862930
The same can be said for console gaming, by your logic you need a monitor for consoles.
I already pointed out why PC is more upfront generally but will actually save money earlier. You haven't refuted that.
>>334855539
What if i like using the toilet?
Lmao I'm glad I didn't buy a PS4, gonna get 4.5.
Enjoy your silky smooth 20 fps, PS4 cucks
>>334863317
Don't kid yourself
>>334863415
All I'm trying to point out how the initial cost is too cumbersome, and how the monitor is a big contributor to it. I understand you can sit on your pirate's throne, but shit's still expensive.
What's the point of buying a tablet instead of a laptop?
