Everything a PC does, a console does better.

A console can never be better than a PC. Not as long as my girlfriend have the force over the TV :(
I miss you xBox....

Naah seriously, it really depends on the sort of game if i decide between platforms.
Elite = PC
Reckoning or Fable etc = xbox/console

Good luck with your locked for a decade technology. Consoles in fact Triple A PC gaming due to the obvious limitations. remember PC's are capable of so much more it's just most games are sub par console ports.

Try running Arma 3 on an Xbox or PS 4 with all the bells and whistles. That game is 3 and a half years old and would cripple current consoles. PS 4.5 will run it but it's a little late to the party.

More convenient? Certainly. More "efficient"? Debatable.

Better overall? No way.

I own a PS4 that is primarily used to play games with my Bro who lives 900 miles away and does not wish to deal with the "complexity" of a computer. Not that he couldn't figure it out. He is the type that likes to buy and just click "play" to get his gaming on. I also own a 6 year old "Frankenstein" X58 build that was upgraded with a new Xfx R9 290 that was $250 (Shipped price from Amazon) almost 2 years ago.

Considering I use my computer for work as well as personal (streaming videos, photo editing, financial stuff) I look at it as a staple in terms of equipment. The same as I view any appliance in my house.

So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I added a $250 card that will blow the doors off the PS4 I have when it comes to frame rates (I have it locked down to 75fps since that is the highest refresh rate of the monitor) and at a resolution (2560x1080 21:9 monitor that just ROCKS for working spreadsheets!) that the PS4 can't even resolve!

While their are some ""in the future" updates/enhancements that may shrink the performance differential, I don't see my system (Ok, I am talking about the $250 Vidcard in my "appliance") being eclipsed in the next 2 - 5 years.

But hey, I could be wrong about the future.

But I am spot on in the present.

Good luck playing dota on your console trash. Peasants. [big grin]

Serioiusly, though. HTPC in the living room is pure epicness. The consoles just aren't there, yet. Although, I should probably jump on the linux bandwagon, because with the intro of win10, I'm jumping that ship when win7 is too outdated.

Respectfully disagree. I was a PC gamer right up until I met my - now - wife, 8 years ago. Realised I couldn't a. spend so much time with my PC and b. afford to upgrade regularly. The Xbox was just a compromise for me. I'm lucky I get to play great games like ED and that the Xbox has many other functions, making it appear more 'casual' and it can sit in the main room as the entertainment centre. But if I choose to have marathon sessions when I'm free, that works too.

Would love nothing more than to go back to PC but my laptop that can just about run games like Total War: Warhammer and the like will have to suffice. PC definitely wins out but console is a very welcome and appreciated middle ground.

Still waiting for a serious replacement for Windows Media Center. I've tried them all, Kodi, JRiver and many more. Nothing handles DVR functionality like WMC, unfortunately :( Current HTPC will be running Win 7 until it can't.

I found this fantastic game because I owned an Xbox one I found at a pawn shop for 220$ plus my 60$ for live which we use for streaming on my old 360. I NEVER would have been introduced to this deep expansive galaxy of fun if the entry cost was more than 500$ total. I would love to experience this game
clearer faster and I guess as a smarter complete adult gamer, but I is just too poor.
