PC gaming is superior to console gaming.

Graphics/Performance/HardwareI will start with the comparison of next-gen consoles like the Xbox One and the PS4 to PC in terms of performance and graphics. Next-gen consoles these days have a native resolution of 720p and run games at a most of 30fps (frames per second). Conversely a PC built with the same budget as the price of a console can support a native resolution of 1080p and can push most games to 60fps. Next-gen consoles seem to be just overpriced mid-range PCs that don't hold up performance wise compared to their price as previously pointed out. PCs also support storage in the Terabytes while next-gen consoles sport only 500 Gigabytes of storage. PCs have a much higher graphics and performance potential for just the same price. PCs are also extremely upgradeable to fit you any desire. Graphic cards prices change very quickly and it is easy to be able to cheaply buy a new graphics card to run newer games on max settings. The PC is your own gaming machine that you tailor fit to your level of eliteness. The console will never be your machine. It will always be the box that tells you how to play the game.2. CostAgainst popular belief, PC gaming actually is a lot cheaper than most might think. Even if you go with a more high end rig for PC that for example might cost $1000, you still will end put saving much more money. Though the initial investment for a higher end PC does surpass next-gen consoles, the amount you same in payment for games is substantial. The average price for next-gen console game amounts to be around $60; the average price of a PC is closer to $40. For example let's say that a PC gamer and a console gamer both bought 40 games (which is a pretty average amount). The initial investment for the PC gamer is $1000, $500 for the Xbox One gamer, and $400 for the PS4 gamer. Then the PC gamer ends up paying something like $1600 for their 40 games, and the next-gen console gamers both spend $2400 then on their 40 games. That amounts to the PC costing $2600, Xbox One costing $2900, and PS4 costing $2800. Even just in terms of cost you can see that PC would be the better choice not even counting the superiority of PC vs console. This example doesn't even include the price of Xbox Live and PSN which would add more money. This example also does not take into consideration the very reduced prices for games during Steam sales, and the massive amount of free-to-play games offered on PC.3. ControllerWhether you prefer mouse-and-keyboard, a gamepad, or even those wonderful controllers that come with consoles; it can be connected to a PC, ensuring that whatever you prefer, it's available. Mouse-and-keyboard though, the usual default controller for a PC, tends to assure that they play can have the maximum amount of input to control. This ends up making mouse-and-keyboard much superior to a controller in a modern FPS or really any game.4. ExclusivesI am going to base this section on one simple list alone. This list does not by any means have every exclusive game there is, but it give the general idea. . http://imgur.com...5. Game Titles / ModsNot only does PC outclass next-gen console in terms of exclusives, but also in sheer terms of the amount of games. On Steam alone there are over 3000 games and growing. Also PC supports the use of mods in games which can allow for games to become a completely different game. Mods are only supported on PC and not Console. Mods enhance the user's experience of the game by adding items, content, etc. (virtually anything). When a game releases on a console, you get the content that comes with that particular game, and that's it. When that same game is on the PC, however, the community playing it continuously creates new and interesting content for others to enjoy. Even old, outdated games can be injected with new life through the installation of a new texture mod.6. Online Play Multiplayer gaming, in it’s modern form, was born on the PC in the late 1980′s/early 1990′s. It has had over two decades of maturity which is far from anything I can say about the gamers screaming profanity into the headset of your XBOX live experience. It’s almost a given that any PC game worth anything has multiplayer capabilities. Of course, a huge part of PC online gaming is that… it’s FREE. Free as in: all you need is an internet connection worth its salt. There is no xbox live fees or extra cost for the online feature. FREE. Conclusion It has to be summed up as a whole, the PC is just a superior gaming platform compared to consoles. You can’t pin-point one definitive reason why, because there are a multitude of reasons. It looks aesthetically better too; consoles are designed to look ‘cool’ to teenage boys, but a PC is a sophisticated utility that looks smart in your house. Overall it has to come down to simple facts. The PC hardware outstrips the console hardware. It can do more, it can evolve easier, it offers more gameplay, the graphics are far more crisper…. PC gaming is superior.
