if you don't already know why then it isn't going to be much better for you.

I do know why.. I just don't want to further into the dark side..

can be used in the living room with a controller

PORN

can build your own to suit your tastes

*deep breath* 60 FPS, 144Hz, availability and pricing of games, unlimited possibilities of usage, multi-monitor setups, backwards compatibility, better peripherals *inhales* PCMR, more titles available, better graphics, lower costs (for same performance as consoles), upgradeability, lifespan, easier troubleshooting, sexy builds *faints*

holy...

[VioDuskar]

because you can use a controller on a PC too.

because you aren't locked to stupid ass 792p resolution.

because you can get more than 30FPS.

because physX if you're into that.

because it's also a computer, not a game machine that tries to be a computer.

because of personal sense of accomplishment from building own gaming PC.

Better game fidelity (I.e. higher res and frame rates)

Cheaper games

More options

Thank you, kind sir. Here is a cookie.

This is like asking "why is christianity better, i've watched too many "why judaism is better vids"".

 

You appear indoctrinated and are baiting someone to conform your bias. The possibility you're going to defend or rationalise your pre-existing bias, eventhough you're asking differently, is too easy to predict. And who is seriously going to waste his breath...

 

Or, you already know and are just creating trollbait. Either way, this is pointless.

 

EDIT; apparently still a lot of people try to explain...

What do the "pro console" people say, I cannot think of many pros

 

Cheap initial cost

Easy to use

Exclusives

 

thats it really.. there are no other advantages to console gaming, and arguably the cost factor is debatable due to online costs and game prices (plus you still have to buy a PC for normal stuff)

 

Honestly if Consoles did not have exclusives I would never even think of buying one

[ACatWithThumbs]

You can customize everything like you want
Better graphics
Better fps
More games
Backwards compatibility
Steam
Better voice options like Team Speak
It's a PC it can do a million things a console can't.
No online fees
You can use whatever input device you want
Oculus Rift and Valve/HTC VR
The list goes on an on...
You'll need a computer anyways so why buy a crappy PC and a crappy console when you can have one device that's better than both.

basically what they said.

we have the lord gaben

 

Why does everything we strongly value have to turn into some sort of cult/religion. It only creates more dissonance the moment someone disagrees.

Ofcourse not, that's why you had no objections to anything that was said.

The Glorious PC Master Race:

I think it totally depends on how much you plan to play, and how much you want to invest.

I'm getting a console because I don't play much. I'll sit down for maybe a few hours a week, and hammer out some Halo sessions with a few friends.

There's maybe 7 games I really want to play.

For me, it doesn't really make sense to drop $1200+ on a gaming computer. I can get a console for under $300.

 

Not only that but I do a lot of work on my PC.

So when it's time to enjoy something I'd rather not be still connected to it.

Haha, people always quote the online cost. Is $3.50 a month really that much?
