PC Gaming vs Console Gaming

I forgot to clarify in the 1st round, but I will be advoating for PC, and my opponent will be advocating for Console. Let's begin =)=======================================================================================Price:Let's talk about the price first. Price can be a huge factor to someone who is considering to play on either platform, and although the myth states otherwise, PC Gaming is cheaper than Console Gaming in the long run. Some people may find this to be absurd, as they've seen the high prices of gaming PC's and how they are thousands of dollars. Allow me to prove to you that in the long run, PC gaming is cheaper:First, a note before I get into this. A Gaming PC can be as expensive and as cheap as the person playing it desires. It can be $5,000 or $200. However, unless you are rich (which most of us aren't), not everyone can afford an expensive PC that will cost $5,000. So, for the purposes of this debate, I will be using a $979 Gaming PC that is prebuilt. It's called the Vanquisher 2 Level 3 by Digital Storm. Here is a link, so that everyone can see it's specs: . https://www.digitalstormonline.com...Here are the benchmarks for this PC (make sure that you are looking at the benchmarks for Level 3 only, as I will be using the Level 3 PC for this debate. ) Ok, so as we can see here, this is a powerful PC. It can run games on high graphics settings at over 60 FPS. Now, this is where most Console Gamers will tell me, "Well of course it's going to be able to do those things. It's $979, that's a lot more expensive than a Console. "True, $979 is a bigger initial price. But let's do some math:1. Let's look at the initial pricesXbox One Price: $400PS4 Price: $400PC Price: $9792. Now let's assume that until the next generation of Consoles come out, it will be around 8 years. If we want to play multiplayer on a Console, we are going to have to pay $60 a year on Xbox One and $50 a year on PS4. On a PC, it's free. This means in 8 years, this is how much you will spend on each system:Xbox One Price: $880PS4 Price: $800PC Price: $9793. What's the use of these systems if you don't have games, right? The average game on a Console is going to be $60. PC games are much cheaper, and can be very veried in price. There are a lot of free 2 play games. There are over 1,000 games on Steam that are under $10. But even with all of this, I'm going to be very generous and make the average game on a PC $40. Assuming that we buy 5 games a year (for 8 years), our price after 8 years will be: Xbox One Final Price: $3,280PS4 Final Price: $3,200PC Final Price: $2,579So we see here that in the long run, the PC will save you quite a bit of money. But why stop there? Heck, we could buy a crap ton of accessories and STILL be cheaper. In order to play on a Console we need to buy a TV. That's pretty expensive if you ask me. But even if we include a :Razor Taipon Gaming Mouse (This mouse provides ULTIMATE PRECISION. It's insane. Google it. ): $80Acer 19.5 inch HD Led Monitor: $100 Razor BlackWidow Ultimate Keyboard: $130Logitech Z623 980-000402 200 Watt Speaker System: $110Logitech G930 USB Connector Circumaural Wireless Gaming Headset: $110Let's add up and look at our total price with all of these accessories combined (Note: I went a little overboard with this accessory thing. Obviously I'm just using this to illustrate my point. There is no need for all of this expensive stuff in order to be a PC gamer, I'm just trying illustrate my point. ):Xbox One Final Price: $3,280PS4 Final Price: $3,200PC Final Price (With Accessories): $3,109Well, would you look at that? PC is still cheaper. I think I've made my point. Performance: The Performance on this PC will CRUSH the Consoles. It can run High end games at true 1080p and 60FPS; there is no way the consoles can reach such a level of performance. This machine will have absolutely no lag at all, and will literally run almost anything. The performance is infinitely superior. An argument I hear from some Console gamer is, "I don't care about Graphics. I care about Gameplay. "True, Gameplay is more important than just performance, but performance improves the overall feeling of the game. You can't expect to have fun playing Skyrim on a $200 computer, in which your game is lagging every 10 seconds. But even more importantly, Console Gamers themselves actually do care about graphics and hardware, they just don't like to admit it. Why did most Console Gamer buy an Xbox One, instead of sticking with their Xbox 360? or buy a PS4 instead of staying with a PS3? Heck, why did Sony and Microsoft even bother to make a new System? ? That's right, the new systems had better features, updated hardware, and could display better graphics. Graphics are imporatant to Console gamers too. Games:A lot of games are multiplatform, but when it comes to exlusives, PC wins again. Look at this list: PC has a lot more exclusives. Furthermore, Console players can't play any MMORPG games, nor can they play any MOBA games. These games are strictly reserved for PC. A common argument from console players here is that, "You can't play racing games on PC. " This point is actually invalid, and it brings me to my next point. Controls:You can actually play with anything you want on a PC. A keyboard and mouse, an Xbox One controller, a PS4 Controller, or virtually any controller you can think of. In this way, you can play FPS games with great precision with a Keyboard and Mouse, and still enjoy racing games with a Controller. Playing on a Couch:This is somewhat of a legitmate argument that I hear from Console Gamers, and that is that they like to play on their couch. But with Steam Big Picture Mode, you can easily connect your PC to your TV with an HDMI cable, and enjoy playing on your TV. Backwards Compatibilty:On a Console, you can't play your Xbox 360 Games on Xbox One, nor can you play your PS3 games on PS4. But with PC, you can play any game. Even a game released in the year 2000, can be played in 2014. E-Sports:E-sports are mainly dominant on PC. Games like Dota 2 and LoL attract millions of players from around the world. The prizes that can be earned from these games is insane. The Dota 2 International (the world championships for dota 2) held this year had a prize pool of over $10,000,000! ==========================================================================Good luck to my opponent. He may either rebut to my argument, or come up with arguments of his own or do a combination of both in Round 2 =)
