I say this because a decent gaming PC cost $1000 and does not last half the lifetime of a console sorry its the truth playstation 3 came out in November of 2006. what gaming laptop will last seven years let me know? it must be noted that ps3 will probably be supported for an additional 2 years bringing its total viable gaming life cycle to 9 years.
1. A decent gaming PC does not cost that much.
2. A gaming PC will be more powerful and play games at higher settings longer.
3. Cheaper in the long run because you can replace parts as you go.
So while a 400$ console might appear to be a better choice now, because its cheaper, you can spend more and get a PC thats 7x as powerful and have the ability to stay ahead of the curve.

If by viable, you mean ****** like the Ps3, then yes. It's not like the PC is going to lose functionality. Is going to run everything that it used too. If you mean cutting edge, then no, you'll have to upgrade it some-something you can't do on a console. Are console gamers really this ignorant? are pc elitists so ignorant to think that they have the superior system when people have consoles that do far better than some gaming pc does. plus what would be the point In switching over when none of your friends are on PC? Wow I guess that console users are this ignorant, lol. I don't really have time to explain all the absolute ignorance displayed in both this post, and the OP because I'm at work and on my phone. I assume someone else will. translation: I have no argument to back up what I say. As a PCmasterRacists I will just bow out now while remaining smug for no good reason.
Just another jealous poor peasant troll.
So poor it hurts

So what I am saying is, a PS3 game now will run in a quality that would be considered 'medium' by todays PC hardware. And thats fine, if the PC owner didnt chose to upgrade.
And Chosing here is the key.
You dont need to upgrade your PC machine, and if you chose not to, it will peform at "PS3" level of performance and graphical fidelity.
Take my PC.
I still use an E8400 CPU processor. Its just a Dual core. And, after 6, 7 years of use, it still delivers. I play whatever I want without complaints.
Now my GPU. I use a GTX 570. This GPU I bought like 3 years ago as an upgrade froma 9800gtx wich lasted 4 years then broke due a power outage.
So, my system is old if you compare it to the actual platforms.
But I still can play games like the recent released Tomb Rider at pretty much maximum. I play shooters near maximum as well, without complaints.
So far, my machine has not rejected any game I wished to play on it.
I could upgrade now if I wanted, porbably will do so next year by just gettign a new GPU/mobo/Ram, and using the old parts like GPU, case, HDD's, so it wont be a huge investment.
But I will uograde more out of a desire of having a new shinny than because I need to.
9800 GTX came out in mid 2008, 4 years later would have been mid 2012, 3 years after that would be 2015. Either you are responding to post on the forums from the year 2015, or your 9800 GTX lasted you about 3 years for the price of $300. Then you spent another $300 on the 570 GTX, which brings us to today. You spent $600, going through 2 graphics cards, in over the last 6 years. You didn;t get any additional functionality out of those graphics cards, they were pretty much only to play games (because on-board gfx is enough for most everything else). In 2008 you could have purchased a PS3 for $400 and gotten a an amazing blurray player with it when blurray players were still going for $350+.
60 fps 1080p. XBone cant do it.

Forza 5 would like to have a chat.
Sorry I cant hear you over how awesome 1920x1200 is but Forza is just 1 game, that has maybe 10-15 moving assets, half of which are rarely on the screen at the same time. I get 60 FPS 1920x1200 while playing Rome 2 modded ot have unit sizes of actual Roman cohorts, 480 men a piece. Now, extrapolate. 10 cohorts = 4800 men, plus auxiliaries another 2700 for just one legion. Now add in enemies of comparable size and ally legions. Yea. Im getting battles upwards of 10-15 thousand. Tell me, can your potato do that?

I am sorry I can't hear you over all of the amazing exclusives I am playing.
See that is what you sound like, that is the conversation you are trying to engage in. You no longer want to talk about price efficiency, you just want to compare virtual dong sizes.
sigh... what else should I have expected from PCmasterracists.
PC provides better value, when you factor in the performance and ability to upgrade. After 7 years you have to scrap your potato and start over with a new machine. I can replace parts as needed, and get better performance.
And exclusives? LOL. Very few exclusives are actually worth it. See Last of Us. Most exclusives turn out to be Dust 514.
But who am I kidding, we all know you a a master troll peasant who can't be educated out of the constant "which potato is gud" spin cycle.
