How to convince friends that pc gaming is better?

[Guest Hourani23]

Every time I tell them about pc they just say "bro ps4 is cheaper" and I can't explain further.

This isn't exactly true, but it's close.

This isn't exactly true, but it's close. 

Hmm the chart is fine aslong as u stick to it, but I also find PC games like rollies. . . it may be cheaper, but I buy more, also very likely there'll be a rig update within those 8 years

[TheProfosist]

Spec them out a pc for about the same price as a PS4/X1 and show them it beats it and can do a bunch of things the console could never dream of doing.

[Guest]

show them this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDXO3kcUP3s#t=41

Man up an play alone! I always do...

cool but where did they get the number 744 from in terms of pc hardware?

[IDprofile]

Nobody spends 1.6k on 40 PC games! Unless one is preordering all those games then it should be way cheaper. Lets not forget humble bundle, bundlestars, steam sales,

It says right in the text that explains the chart.

Oh, sorry lol I'm such an idiot.

lol its fine no biggie.

Very true, but the 800-1000 you save could help with the PC upgrades.

 

It's just an example of course, there are other graphs out there, but this was one I thought was more simple and straightforward.

The graph's sole purpose was to show console users how inexpensive PC gamers have it. Sure you're not going to buy $40 games at full price, but if you factor in sales only, then it gets weird.

[ManOfDisguise]

No! It's not! I am so ashamed of myself! This is failure at it's peak! Death I deserve!

[chicksoup]

we don't really need PC gamers who don't choose freely to join us. We also totally underestimate the importance of all the console players

[Guest]

Give up on it with them.

When they ask why you have given up on trying to convince them

that PC is better tell them: there is no point in trying to teach the ignorant.
