Whats the FUCKING POINT of buying a X One/S/Scorpio if you can just buy a PC that is 2x stronger and have the same EXACT FUCKING GAMES?

Even if the Xbox one cost 500$ Next year, 4k Gaming on it will be extremely cheap, given a PC that can run games on max and 4k are still on the 1500$+ mark.

So yes, console gaming once again is 3x cheaper and accessible

there's no point, retard

some people will never buy a pc to play games

4k is a gimmick

Because, you fucking dust breathing bottom feeder.

YOU ARE NOT THE REST OF THE WORLD
/v/ IS NOT THE REST OF THE GAMING COMMUNITY
ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO HALF, ITS A MEASLY MINORITY, VOCAL ONLY ON THE INTERNET IN CERTAIN FORUMS.

No one will have your logic or mindset.
Normies outnumber you and your purchasing power 10 to fucking 1. Your logic, is not the common sense the average consumer walks around with.
No one is going to think "wow, fuck the xbox S ill just play PC!" No one will care, few people even see PC as viable for a gaming medium.

I swear to fucking god you people need to go outside so god damn badly. Normies are going to eat this shit up, and it will in no way make people consider PC over consoles, not anymore than before.

I would take you seriously, then I remember is really depends no the developers and how they optimize.

Believe it or not here are actual games runing at 1080p in the PS3, when the developer knows how to do his job.

Massive majority of current PC gamers were teens who had their parents buy them launch 360s, but now that they spend their own money buy PC

When you have your first kid, you will understand why people buy consoles. Kids in school dont talk about their gaming pcs, they talk about their xbox or their playstation

If your kid is in the autistic classes, they will talk about their nintendo

Gaming PCs are niche, its why the most popular PC games can run on a toaster. They know dedicated PC enthusiasts dont care about consoles. Go out and meet normal people and you'll see why MS is doing this, they'll gladly eat it up.

I'm thinking of getting a Slim
I don't have a 4K Blu-ray player and some of the Windows Exclusives look nice
It's mostly for the 4K Blu-ray player though desu because I'm getting a 4K TV this summer just to own a big tv, since my current one is shit, but if I'm getting a big tv then I want it to last
I also want to pirate 4K Blu-ray ripped movies since Taxi Driver is up

>people actually didn't realize that they were going to consolidate their gaming division as well

You all should have seen this a mile away. It's a great strategy for microsoft and a no-brainer. They are now just going to sell 3 nice compact windows 10 prebuilds optimized for family room use and keep the xbox name on them, while opening their playerbase to any person running windows 10 on their pc. Dedicated consoles have been dying and this is the perfect transition for ms.
>>
fuck you I'm keeping my w7
>>
>>341092105
Scorpio's gonna be $600, PSNeo's gonna be $500. Both can play 4k movies/television but I absolutely garauntee most games will play at 1080p/30fps.

PC will always be the only platform where you can play every game at 60fps.
>>
>>341092739
Not for long son. One day you'll drop your guard, leave your pc on at night, go to the store, spend a night a friends, take your dog on a nice walk and BAM. Windows 10.

PC is more expensive and the ports are shitty

Xbots have been the losers since 2010 when the Kinect came out. It's just sad.

>>341084387
The Xbone could be 10 times more powerful than the PS4 and there still would be no reason to own a Xbone over a decent PC.
PS4 on the other hand has its place.

>>341078152
>>341078428
It'll be able to run 4K games just as well as consoles run 1080p right now which isn't very well at all

yeah in the fucking trash can, nice movie library sonygger

Convenience and marketing mainly.

There's isn't really any point. Normies just don't have that knowledge to realise/make the comparison.
