    Honestly? When PS3 happened I said enough regarding consoles and didn’t buy a single one since. I still have a GameCube and PS2 packed in a box somewhere. PC. The device never changes, I can just upgrade it myself.

    I’m not sad for scalpers. Reselling has trashed the used market for everyone.

      I only ever owned or even used one console the original NES. After that all my gaming was on PC. Consoles are for suckers.

          Yeah whatever. Matter of opinion, quite obviously.

    sounds like if you can’t scalp it inside the return period, you probably shouldn’t have bought it in the first place.

    I don’t get why anyone would want a console when you can play games on a PC with mods and much better graphics. If I can’t mod a game, I will lose interest in it pretty quickly. The last console I bought was a PS3 and I really only got it to watch blurays on.

      Because you can just sit and play. No doubts about if it will work nor performance, no adjustments, no stress of any kind, just play. I like PC gaming, but consoles have their appeal.

        That’s been less true with the last few console generations. You have confusing mid generation upgrades, day one patches, hefty install sizes and other confusing issues. Consoles are not as pick up and play as they used to be or should be.

            Oh, 100%. Though with the Steam Deck, I’d argue that consoles advantage is being eroded.

        Unreal 5 has not been kind to this argument

          Fair, but that’s not a console problem, they shipped the game in a bad state. (Or, at least, that’s my experience)

        That stuff is for the work PC not the Gaming PC.

      Many don’t care much about modding. I’m primarily gaming on PC, and it’s rare I use mods.

      Consoles are also better on the big screen, which is what many people use when gaming.

        My computer is hooked up to my 65 inch Samsung TV and it plays perfectly. Yeah. It’s only 120hz, but I’m not so much of a graphics snob that I need 200+ FPS. Plus, at 4k I barely break 100 FPS most of the time anyway. Pretty sure it would outperform any console throw at it regardless.

          But at what cost, though? Probably just the graphics card is worth like 2 consoles, not to mention the power draw.

            Price of entry is much higher, but I feel like the amount I’ve saved on games via steam sales/humble bundles/etc along with no monthly fees for online play more than make up for it in the long run.

      The only reason I’m vaguely looking at a PS5 is to play Astro bot. And it can wait like a decade to be available on emulators
