PC Gaming Is Superior to Console Gaming

Thank you for initiating this debate Pro. Superior gaming experience I want to point out that gaming is meant for entertainment purposes. People have wildly different ideas on what they find to be entertaining. Some people enjoy golf while others enjoy a good boxing match. Pro is making the claim that PC gaming is superior to console gaming. Any claim that some form of entertainment is better than another form of entertainment is highly subjective. Since pro is the one making the claim, he will assume the burden of proof. All I must do is show that console gaming is equal to or better than PC gaming. Arguments I'll argue why console gaming is equal to or superior to PC gaming then respond to my opponents arguments next round.. Consoles have AAA title exclusive games that are not available for PC. LittleBigPlanet 3 The Order: 1886 Driveclub Bloodborne Uncharted series Halo 5: Guardians Fable Legends Forza 5 Gran turismo 5 God of War 3 The Last of Us Metal Gear solid 4 Critically acclaimed console exclusives offer immense entertainment value and cannot be experienced on PC. Console gaming is superior to PC gaming in this respect. Equal hardware makes an Equal playing field Console gamers are all playing with the same setup. When everyone is playing with the same hardware out of the box, nobody is losing to their competitive edge to sombody that bought an expensive PC rig. Expensive PC rigs allow significant FPS advantages, significant graphical fidelity advantages, and reduced lag that are all due to raw processing power alone. When playing on consoles, everyone gets a fair shake. This makes competitive gaming more fair and practical on consoles. Online competitive PC games = hackers paradise Competitive online PC games such as Call of Duty are regulary hacked on the PC (autoaimer). This is because third party hacking software is much easier to download and optimize on a PC than it is for consoles. The net effect is a much larger hacking audience on PC than there is for those doing online console gaming. There's also a huge problem with botting/macroing on a PC for RPG titles such as World of Warcraft or Elder Scrolls online where a script actually plays the game for you while you're away. If you don't want to run into somebody hacking or cheating to gain an unfair advantage, console gaming is where it's at. This makes for an overall better gaming experience on consoles for this reason too. Console gaming is more social Consoles are made to picked up and played with other people on the same TV. If you were gaming on a PC another person would need another PC in order to play. When other people want to play with you on a console game, you can just hand them a controller and start playing with them. While gaming on playstation or Xbox you can also personalize and customize your player avatar and give yourself a more unique gaming identity. Hassle-free Whenever you buy a game for your console system you know that it's going to work. PC games have wildly different minimum spec requirements. If you want to game hassle-free and with peace of mind, console gaming is the way to go. There's nothing worse than buying a game, finding out your PC is too weak to run the game, then trying to return the game only to be denied the return. Diablo III is just one very popular example of this being an issue on PC. Stigma PC gaming is a stigma. Just one example of how PC gaming is a stigma is the Southpark episode where they all played World of Warcraft. What comes to mind is somebody gaming by themselves, in a solitary area, and with a generally nerdy appearance. Console gaming on the other hand, appeals to a much wider audience and doesn't have a stigma. Knowing that your gaming experience is a stigma makes it not as enjoyable when talking to other people about it. Health benefits and wider audience One example of health benefits is Wii Sports or Wii fitness where men, women, and children of all ages are all exercising together and having fun. This provides a superior gaming experience for a much wider demographic while also having health benefits. Console gaming = the best bang for the buck Consoles are an incredible value. When all is said and done, buying a running PC with an equal GPU/processing capabilities is more expensive. Whatever is cheaper and provides the same benchmark of value is the superior gaming experience. So consoles have AAA exclusive games, they're the best bang for the buck, they appeal to a wider audience and have health benefits, social benefits, among many other important benefits that were listed. Console gaming is superior to PC gaming.
