Because the PC gaming market is currently hyper-inflated via the cryptocoin miners buying out all the video cards.

It's more expensive to be a PC gamer at the moment if you want any decent hardware.

I buy a console if it has a couple games I want and I upgrade my pc when it can no longer play games I want.
>>
>>384706579
there's like 4 games there that I'm even interested in and the problem is the PC has so many games that I'll die before I play all the good ones.

there's not enough time on this planet for me to give a shit about console exclusives.
>>
>>384706458
It's the plug and play that appeals to people.
The average consumer, doesn't want to deal with the maitence of pc. We all know pc is the superior platform, but we also know we've all had that game that just keeps crashing for whatever reason.
That's the reason, those problems that can take a day of reading forums to fix.
If you think it's more or less than that reasons you're retarded.

>>384706579
And if you continue to support the console industry they will continue to stay on the inferior platform. Well played.

Most aren't bought exclusives minus BB and the first party ones, Jap devs are probably gonna double dip after 3-5 years of them being on PS4 and selling like hotcakes.

Yea, the whole joke is the actual PC is like 1% of the total cost and then it's all just bullshit highly specialized audio equipment then a specialized card made for really specific high profile buyers that have money to blow, like government intelligence agencies.

even the ACTUAL PC is way overpriced and he bought the dumbest shit possible. The whole joke with the image is that retards will look at the heights of an open system and assume that's the norm when the whole point of a computer is you can literally do whatever you want with it.

I didn't know PS4 owners aren't allowed to buy and play games that didn't make the top20 most sold ones.

DAMN

>less convenient
not for couch gaming

Because I like being able to play exclusive games and I also like having a system that is dedicated towards playing games. I don't get distracted by 4chan/emails/skype/discord/work and I don't have to think about upgrades, crashes or whether controller support is native and with which controllers.
