Hi,
As I wanted to buy a new computer for the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 and my brother and I argued whether or not the next gen consoles would be better than gaming PCs. Therefore I wanted the opinion of professionals that knew much more than us on this subject to enlighten me.What do you think?
Also, here is the link to the PC I have my eyes on, and I would appreciate it very much if you could tell me what you think of it:

Thank you very much for your time !
Best regards

If you're willing to spend that much money then definitely a PC. I'd recommend building one but if that makes you uncomfortable that's ok. Don't forget other things like mouse, keyboard, monitor and possibly speakers. And hopefully you have decent internet.

PC:

Much better I/o

more flexibility

Much cheaper games

potentially more power

 

Console: 

cheaper initial investment.

 

part of it depends on which pros and cons are important for a particular person.  For me the I/o is a killer app.  I hate controllers.  The other advantages are unimportant to me.  


If someone only uses controllers, doesn’t buy their own games, and doesn’t do anything else but play games, a console makes more sense.

 

For someone who wants to do something else besides play video games or has to buy their own Games (they tend to be 2-5 times the price for the same thing) or doesn’t like controllers a console makes very little sense.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
