Xbox1 vs PS4 vs PC - discuss/curse

sooo, what camp do you sit in, are you tied between one console or the other, waiting your time until they make their final specifications before you go buy, or are you an avid PC gamer?

Discuss, 'cuss' and explain.....



my choice: PC gamer personally, i like being able to update hardware as/when i need rather than having one console and having to get the whole new console when a new one comes out, and with the likes of Steam OS coming - and the steampad, it looks like a potential match made in heaven!! Far more adaptable and competitive than other options!

but what i want is often limited by what i can afford, so often i only upgrade when i really have too - like my processor/mobo/ram after 7years as it was finally maxing out, gfx after 5years as that too couldn't cope with what i was asking of it. But i agree many do take things too far, some of the guys out there with dual/tripple Nvidea Titan SLI rigs with double I7's etc are just seriously lame.

Be sensible - and replace only when bottlenecking is stopping you doing what you need, then all is well.

alienware dear... alienware

i stopped playin games at call of duty 2 !!!!  pc is king for games but at a cost my bro's gaming rig cost thousands we have a both xbox and ps3 they do a good job for a lot less money

PC all the way, a £500 decent build will last for years whilst matching console graphics and the games (even legally) are much cheaper than their console equivalents so that adds up over time. i don't understand people who insist that gaming capable PCs all cost £1k+ and must be upgraded every 3 years. Total rubbish. SteamOS is going to narrow the gap heavily with regard to media and co-op gaming in the living room, the more compelling console features such as split screen with one game copy seem to be disappearing over time there.

The new xbox is a joke, more like a tool to display more adverts/sell you things direct to the living room that also happens to play games. Always on kinect? Seriously?

PS4 maybe, just not interested when a PC can do everything it can and so much better. I suppose if you didn't have a clue how to build or run a PC or just cannot be arsed to then they are a sensible buy.

All that could change Norty... I am very interested to see how their proposed streaming over LAN works out. 2014 will be a good year for choice regardless.

(still dabble with Total War occassionally

This may intrigue you then. I don't believe them entirely when they say the new controller might be better than the classic mouse+keyboard combination, but I'll keep an open mind for now.
