Only poor people have to choose one or the other

you like the exclusives. pretty easy to understand, m8. if I could play xenoblade 2 on pc I probably would.

>consoles have paid online fees, which is a requirement for most new releases on consoles
>console games generally cost more
>consoles require replacement more often than an expensive PC
Also in regards to what OP said each generation has less worthwhile exclusives so the one strength of consoles matters less and less
>>387670635
Once you experience PC you'll feel like a child on a console. Every single thing about them is inferior, without question, without exaggeration
>>387669724
And yet despite this there are people who unironically hate the very idea of exclusives. If not for exclusives then consoles would be 100% pointless. And if consoles went away then everyone would be shoved onto one platform which would cause a whole host of new problems. I don't want to live in a world where Steam (and a few much smaller "competitors") has total control over the industry.

Oh yeah, because having good guys like Sony and Microsoft in on it is so much better. Give them a non-Steam platform like Origin and boom, suddenly your "problem" vanishes. Games for Windows Live already exists anyways.

>consoles require replacement more often than an expensive PC
do you mean for warranty, or failure? because that's not true
if you mean for upgrades I doubt that's true either
>>387670796
wrong, you can pay around $430 and get a good PC. Made a video about it 2 days ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2Ur247xNK8

Those exclusives only exist because the console company funds them. Bloodborne only exists because Sony paid for it, it literally would not be able to exist if it wasn't exclusive. You can only choose between only Sony fags getting Bloodborne, or no one getting Bloodborne.
This applies to all exclusives except for Red Dead Redemption, which is pretty much the only game I can think of that is exclusive to consoles in general without PC excluded. And that's just due to Rockstar being greedy Jews.

GTX 1080

> Only does 1080p

PS4 Pro
> $400

> Console is all you need, no extra parts like PC
>>387672216
>only 1080p
A few benchmarks have shown it running games at 4k at a decent framerate. I have a 980 and can run stuff at 4k 40fps on low. PS4 users have to wait for a patch to at stuff at a dynamic resolution or have it be checkerboarded. Quit being retarded.
>>387672725
1080 is literally in the name. I'm sure you can overclock it and get it to struggle through some games but it's designed for 1080p.

you're like a year late for that joke senpai
>>387669724
>long list of reasons
Such as?
>>387673393
>PC
Free online
Cheaper games
More games
More use cases
More input devices
Multiple markets to buy digitally or physically
Ability to customize hardware, lowering or raising the cost to fit your budget
Better graphics
Mods
Emulation
Not needing to get a patch to run your modern games at whatever resolution or framerate you want.
>Console
3 or 4 exclusives a year
>>387673393
emulation alone is worth the price of admission
>>387673920
Thank god all worthwhile PC games are old as fuck or indie shit.
Every midrange PC from 2012 can still run everything worth playing.
What kinda stupid asshole only picks one? Console for living room so it doesn't look like an autistic piece of shit with computer parts to trip over everywhere, PC in office.

exclusives

>reason not to own a console
>literally not one single """""""exclusive"""""" i could give a rat fuck about
seriously, i can't think of one single game that is console only that i'm even remotely interested in playing. other than muh bloodborne, what great games to consoles have that pc doesnt? hell we will even have RDR and DeS working 100% here pretty soon.
Television is the first to be phased out by PC.
Vidya will naturally follow as exclusive franchises turn to PC markets or decay.
I mean you can't even assure the quality of the most beloved IPs. Look what happened to Halo. It managed 3, then it was all downhill from there.
