Im not a big fan of laptops for gaming.
If you dont mind reducing the eye candy for framerate a gaming pc can have a pretty long lifespan, a good 1k$ gaming desktop should have you set up for atleast 3-4 years, it only really gets expensive if you want the eye-candy for future games.
For a game like Legion and other competitive shooters people will just reduce the detail to get framerate so the lifetime of the system will potentially be alot longer without in any way compromising the ability to compete.
No console will ever give you the versatilty of a more expensive pc, but even if the focus is gaming only the price difference is not as big as some people think, I often use my 55" tv (and a controller) with my pc (Skyrim+High def textures <3) but I really have come to appreciate consoles, they are not an alternative to the pc tho (Great supplement, especially for local multiplayer, exclusives and media center) |

I've heard also that the PS4 might get a shorter life expectancy than the PS3 got. When the PS3 was released, it was a beast. The PS4 isnt all that comparatively, equating to a mid-high experience, so probably its shelf life will be shorter.
Sony will probably have a new console out in 4 or 5 years. |

meow.
Loaded and unfair question, honestly. If we're going to use that logic as a basis for argument, then the fact I'm still screwing around with Phantasy Star II on the Sega Genesis has all you b!tches beat. How many decades and still going strong?
Look, your premise is apples to kiwi here. Sure, a PC costs more, granted. A console is cheaper and will continue to play newly released titles as they come out, and development will evolve in time to become more efficient allowing a level of progressive improvements as dev teams become intimately familiar with the environment and its limitations. Two things you are at best assuming or at worst blatantly misrepresenting:
1. Console development is bound to the finite limitations of the platform. New releases will be produced and sold. Some production teams will make subtle contributions to the development standards, others will make great mind-blowing strides (mmm Strider). But all development will still be bound by the limitations of that console's architecture. Capacity will be reached, and the cycle will begin anew, as Elton John so eloquently explained in the Lion King.
2. Console development does not exist in a vacuum. As experience and efficiencies are gained over the lifespan of that console's development and support, so too are the same efficiencies made within the PC gaming world. The difference? The console is capped and frozen as another poster puts it. Sooner or later, gaming concepts, commercial application, and customer expectation will exceed the limitations of any console (generalizing, I know, as many older systems still offer considerable value for entertainment---see my Genesis reference up top). Development will reach a threshold that the console system will eventually be unable to support, thus creating the need for the next generation of console development.
The PC goes through the same cycle, of course, but a key difference is modular upgrades and software rendering efficiencies that evolve independently of the core PC system. Bump the RAM and switch cards and done. I'm not wiping an entire system for the latest and greatest. Even without the upgrades, I can still reduce performance load to stretch my gaming PC on well past it's marketed life cycle----all at, a very minimum, the same specs as console if not better. All while being able to access the then newest releases on down the line.
lol, all ribbing aside, I get the frustration. I'm not happy about it either, but for different reasons. While upset, I can still empathize with the long-term concerns and current practicalities of development (their method of development), and can appreciate the intent. At its core, to me, was the simple shyte smack in the face that was the Legion announcement. I wonder, had that been handled better, would the blind outrage be nearly as.... blind?
You honestly have far more reasonable arguments to make, if love of the game's longevity is your motive. Sooner or later, the tantrums have to end if you expect to be taken seriously by any gaming community aside from those who's only purpose is to burn something just for the sake of watching it burn. That's not a development problem, that's psychological and petulant.
Though I still stand by my assertion that Phantasy Star II proves that the Sega Genesis' life is far from over, and as a result, it is unquestionably the superior gaming system. Wait. The cartridge save-state battery died back in the late 90s. sh!t, Rolf and Nei are GONE?! you got me there. Please ignore this post.
all the best,
- me.

imo at least, cost efficiency is more long term with PCs. You get amazing steam deals which help of course, but where I feel PC gaming really takes off is in upgrading.
My PC requires only a new video card every 4 years or so to pretty much remain to of the line. At 300-350 for a VERY nice video card I can maintain a level of play far above consoles for a similar expensive (400-500 every 5-6 years).
But the upfront cost of building the PC from having nothing is steep... its a barrier to entry that isn't worth it for many people. I don't blame them... I do blame them for demanding that companies don't make PC games because they don't feel like buying a PC though.

Just... dont.
They are overpriced stuff that will nto perform as well as a desktop with similar especifications.
The last time i read articles, it was said that the GPU gtx750Ti was a good alternative for a new PC capable of matching a PS4 performance. Its about $149 at new egg.
Assemble a system around it. It will probably come closer to $600, but a PC can do a lot more than gamming, so theres that.
Also, most parts will be still being able to be used at your next upgrade some years from now, so the cost of upgrading would be way lower then buying a new console when the time comes.
thank you you have been knowledgeable and respectful on the way you have answered the question I will stick with a PS4 just because it is cheaper. I will also admit I cannot assemble a PC. That's what I thought as well but at the beginning of the year I decided to build my 1st pc and it was a piece of cake. It cost a little less than $600 and plays all the games I care to play at high to max. Of course 5+ years down it won't be playing newer games at high settings but today's mediums & highs are tomorrow's lows & mediums so it works out well enough.
Can't say I'm all that surprised.

That is when PC gaming can get cheaper... hardware wise, over several console generations you can end up flattening the cost curve and make up any increase in hardware costs with savings from Steam sales.
You can also do some bitcoin mining on a gaming rig, its not efficient but you can make a couple hundred a month for 2-3 months and pay off that difference too |

PCs can use gamepads too... I have a wired xbox controller on my PC and it works flawless. I never have to charge it either... unlike my DS3s that are constantly dying midgame after 5 years of owning them. |

For those into it, Crusader Kings II is a blast on the grand strategy games field.
Regarding simulation, what I have been playing like an adict is War Thunder. Its an awesome, not complicated WW2 game thats quite enjoyable.
MMo's, after EVE, them all seem shallow.
Indies, yeah, theres quite a bit of good games, that might not excel in graphics but do in originality and alternate gameplay thats not main stream.

certainly not. if you go out to some random best buy and buy a 400 dollar computer it will last you about 18 months. (concerning eve online, which is about the extent of my pc gaming knowledge in the last 15 years.)

Depends in the game. In those categories are thousands of games that aren't available to console users.
Bear in mind that graphics aren't everything, but nothing excels in graphics like a PC.

Just because you can play games on it does not mean it is a gaming PC.

Here is the trick. Goto Delloutlet[dot]com, buy a decent PC for under 300 bucks, buy a sub 200 dollar video card and BOOM you have a decent gaming machine for 500 bucks.
A lot of people don't realize that if you only upgrade the video card and maybe the memory you will have a solid gaming PC until hardware failure or until certain methods (i.e. when PCI-E replaced AGP) are un available.

The difference between $281 a year and $422 a year is moot to me. An average of an extra $141 is not going to stop me.

$4,000+ laptop came out within a month of Ps3, without a doubt out-performed by the Ps3. I would wager probably less reliable too (without a doubt).
That is almost 7 of the higher tiered PS3s on launched day.

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.

When the PS4 launched, it was not. |

Ok so let's clarify something.
A) Developing on PS4 has been streamlined and many elite developers have said that it is far easier to develop on the PS4 than it has been in the past. It is closer to developing for PC or XBOX
B) Gaming consoles isn't so much about logic as much as it is about culture. It is a culture. If consoles never came out again I can guarantee you a percentage of people would never EVER play games on the PC or maybe ever again.
C) This whole PC is better than Console thing is moot. As far as a system is concerned they are different. A PC has multiple functionalities that the console does not so it SHOULD cost more. That being said, you have to use a hardware optimizer to get the most out of the PC through software. Consoles don't have to do this. This is why consoles can have comparable graphics to PC's with lower quality hardware. Consoles are dedicated for one thing so 99% of hardware resources are reserved for gaming as opposed to a PC which is a little over 50% unless you know what you are doing. At that point you can get it to about 70 % of hardware resources.
This argument just doesn't make sense. They are, literally, two different things that basically do things differently with different purposes.

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. 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.
Lol, you caught me. Oh wait, a bunch of people have explained, and even though these forums suck on my phone, I have as well. |
