Question for console players

@Persistance55 I've had my xbox 1S for 4 years now. I'm so used to playing on a controller and on the tv/soundbar that I couldn't change that aspect of my gaming. It cost me €300, I forget what the TV and soundbar cost. I have to play at 1080 to get 120 htz. 

If you would like to give me an up to date gaming rig/monitor/mouse/keyboard, I'll gladly do as you say and use it to play on instead. I'd also need you to update the TV and Soundbar too please, as I have no intention of enjoying my gaming from anywhere other than the couch. Thanking you in advance. 😃

Agreed, I'm not sure about you, but lots of adults that game - one, have been playing on a console since they were a kid. Two - maybe people can't afford to buy a rig to play video games on. Did that even occur to you? Maybe money isn't an issue for you, but the middle and below middle class may have issue with it. 

I certainly do. 

I use a MnK all day at work for work purposes.... the last thing I want to do after work is come home and spend more time on a MnK. 

I have mentioned Sim City 4 -gate before. Haven't played on PC since. On console I can plug in my SNES to the scart adapter and play any SNES game. On PC you apparently can't play a game when Microsoft discontinue whatever dll EA require for a silly copy-protection disc check. Not to mention how it was hell playing Wing Commander IV on JnK. Only played it once. Played Wing Commander III on PS about 15 times.

Then there's the constant updating every other time I (try to) turn it on.

Also, heard you'd have to wait over a year to play RDR2 after it was released. And the best sports franchise, i.e. NHL, hasn't been released on PC since like NHL '09. Not a good sales pitch for that system. 

Then there are other annoying issues like spending time googling solutions whenever you run into an issue, instead of actually playing. Usually firewall or virus protection issues.

Cheaters and modders. Not that that matters anymore when crossplay is ruining online gaming, and you can't get rid of PC's in your Mixtape lobby, despite playing on PlayStation.

in my personal opinion  

it's the cost of building or buying a gaming PC in terms of money and time, and the ease of use of the console ( just download and play ) that drove me off PC gaming.

one time i tried installing Apex on a desktop belonging to a friend of mine and the first thing I had to do to start the game was google the error I was getting which was changing some text in a cfg of whatever the file name was.

and it ended that the game was choppy, lagging with huge frame drops so it was an immediate delete.

not only Apex but gaming on PC, in general, is very costly, every couple of years the GPU needs to be upgraded so sometimes the motherboard needs to be upgraded to be compatible with the GPU then comes the CPU, and let's throw some more rams while we are on it .....Nah console is just downloading the game, updating it, and enjoy it don't have to worry about errors, crashes, and all kinds of things.

nowadays especially with the X and PS5, the performance is not bad at all considering that you just need to buy it once and never think about hardware for the next 7 years.

I had PS3, PS4 and now the PS5 and never got my console into a repair shop, just the regular cleaning which I used to do by myself and the PS4 is still alive and kicking and i passed it to my son who is now playing Apex Legends with it  ( almost a decade of usage with almost zero additional cost ) 

one last thing is that I use the console for everything it's my entertainment  center ( gaming, YouTube, Netflix, Spotify,  movies etc, etc ) 

I own a laptop and a PC but that's only for work so why bother with gaming PC hassle when I can have it the easy way with console?

I understand and completely agree that gaming on PC is superior in every single aspect and I actually wish I had the time and energy to worry about keeping my PC upgraded and ready for the next title, not to mention the spare budget for something like that which I prefer spending it on something else more important other than a PC 

@Persistance55 

Just to be the Devils advocate here why not flip that question around: Why don't you get a Console to play on instead of a PC? I understand if you are a kid and you have whatever your parents bought you. But to all the adults here why do you game on a PC? This is not a troll I am asking honestly because at least for me gaming on a Console doesn't even compare to playing on a PC. 

Really there are benefits two both platforms:

Want to go over to your friends and play games, bring your console with you is a lot easier than a PC Rig and its components. Lan parties made easy.

PC does provide better graphics and FPS and such along with better hard-drive storage, faster downloads and many other things however they cost more if you want a decent rig.

Either way PC's and Consoles are not age restrictive, adults and children have both alike and boils down to preference and cost structures. 

Lets let gamers be gamers, have fun and just game.

I have both. I agree that gaming on PC is better, but I still mostly play on console. That is simply what I grew up with and it's hard to move on from that.

For the past 8 or 9 months I have been playing mostly on PC because of stick drift, and I couldn't be bothered to replace my controller since.
