[QUOTE="Foxi4, post: 4710267, member: 203855"] PC's are cheaper than consoles? Since when? Video game consoles branched from the PC's of the past specifically as the cheaper, more cost-effective gaming solution. The price of a video game console is a fraction of the price of a gaming-oriented PC. Moreover, the fact that PC's are upgradable inflates expenses, not deflates them. When buying a video game console you practically have a guarantee that whatever game you buy for it will work at peak performance from the get-go - with PC you have to be aware of the fact that you will need to upgrade your rig periodically to keep up with the times and those upgrades are sometimes quite substantial. CPU standards change and with them the sockets, same with memory. You can't just upgrade a rig indefinitely - sometimes you need to build one from scratch.
