console gaming used to have a lot of benefits over PC:

you had a nice controller, when you put in the game it would instantly be playable, and there was 4-player local multiplayer

but now you have to spend about 4 hours to install the game to the console, your $100 million controller feels like mushy poo poo and works on PC anyway, and you're lucky to find a game with 2-player local multiplayer.

that's why I'd rather spend $400 to upgrade my PC instead of spending $500-600 on the new piece of poo poo from sony or microsoft.

people always compare 1 console to 1 pc which is kind of bullshit, my pc cost me about $1000 at this point so if you compared that to a ps4 at $350 used on ebay then yeah it looks like I overpayed. factor in that this computer has lasted 10 years, through 2 1/2 console generations, gives me access to exclusive content not available on consoles, no subscription fees, and a library of games, video, and music unheard of on any console; its almost like videogame consoles are toys for children.

its a funny question because it involves 2 factions of stupid nerds criticizing each other's nerdiness and stupidity.
