-> Really? I see pretty good performance from games consoles.
One thing I would like to ask you is...Does power really matter? There are some console games which are really crap in terms of appearance but have very good gameplay. Sometimes its not technology that counts. Its gameplay.Originally posted by Giancarlo
Most people actually have between 800Mhz - 1Ghz. And from what I see on these forums more people have mor than that. And my graphics card is slightly old.
Did I say that? I said that the overall cost of upgrading your pc is more expensive than buying a new games console. Sorry if I didn't make it very clear.
Upgrading your pc is not getting more expensive and the prices are going down.
But can this difference be noticed? Its all very well saying pc's use the latest technology with super processors and super duper perfomance but does it make a difference? Can it be noticed? I don't see slowdown in quite a few games now on consoles. Most have crystal clear graphics. Good enough for me and a lot of others if you ask me.
But no where near that of PCs. A far cry because the consoles have inferior technology.

In terms of technology yes it does but in terms of gameplay I think that consoles win on that point.Originally posted by Giancarlo
And on the particular point PC wins. That is my opinion.
The average life of a console is 5 years. PC technology comes out a lot faster. Game consoles can survive with the same technology for about 5 years because they don't just concentrate on power, power, and power. They concentrate on providing their buyers with good quality games which have lots of gameplay. In general, consoles are a better deal in the long term.
Which is a better deal in the long term?

I think PC is better due to the amount of keys on the keyboard and how theres an infinite amount of ways to use one. Joysticks, mouse, Wheel, VR, etc.
That was directed at Ragzzz, he posted his reply nothing to do with the topic, about 40 Minutes after the other off topic things were posted.Originally posted by cdudeuk18
