I am a console gamer and own a gaming PC. I just choose not to use the PC. Of my IRL friends, they play only lame RPG games on PC that I'm not interested in. Of the pool of my friends, the ones I am interested in, play on XB1 or PS4. I don't like the controller for PS4, so XB1 wins.
I fully understand the graphical capabilities of PC, I just don't care. I'd rather just boot up and go and not have to worry about improvements. And yes, you do have to upgrade. Size of monitor, speed of machine, internet connection all are variables that weigh in on getting kills on FPS games. People can literally buy themselves into more kills. Consoles even that out a bit more.
So you're saying TV size don't matter for console and Internet connection has no impact ?
It's just more leveled out. I learned this back in the days of Counterstrike on my college LAN. Players on my team updated their equipment and improved their game. The jumps to be made with PC gaming are much bigger than the ones that can be done with consoles, hence the evenness of consoles. I believe that the jump from a 22 inch monitor to a 46 inch screen is more of a difference than a 46 to 55 inch, which I've seen more in the console environment.
Processing speed, overclocking, RAM, video memory, hot keys, etc. all are factors in getting better accuracy. Consoles remove that.
But again, remember that the original reason I mentioned a preference for consoles was on what my friends were gaming.
I don't see how a bigger screen will make you a better player.
None of what you mention affect accurancy.
Headshots = easier
Sniping = easier
Sometimes depending on the game or monitor setup = field of view wider
Larger TV, better resolution = further POV
Faster/more powerful specs = better environment rendering, further POV
Hot keys (mouse, keyboard, etc.) = faster in-game buying, techniques, mapping
You can literally buy yourself into being good. I hated that aspect when I played CS.
Which again has nothing to do with accurancy.
In no way does a bigger screen make you better...
Large TV don't have better resolution...
How does better enviromment rendering (whatever that means) make anyone a better player.
Your only valid point would be hot keys, which could all be done software wise.
It really seems like you have absolutely no idea of what your talking about. Have you ever been to a lan tournament ? Did you ever see someone bring a 55" screen to be better ?
Getting headshots vs. not - accuracy. If I have a bigger screen, I can minutely tweak the mouse sensitivity to work well for the larger screen. Easier to get to a bigger head.
On a 26 inch monitor 1080p vs 720p isn't detectable. On a 55 inch monitor, it is. On a small monitor, I may see a tiny moving blur in the background of an environment. On a larger screen with better resolution, I may actually see a moving person and make out their head, to which, I can target.
Actually, I have been in a LAN tournament for Counterstrike (won both times :D). People don't bring their own equipment aside from headphones, but that is a setup that evens out the playing field. During these tournaments, my teammates who had better hardware at home were not as good. Myself, with the lowest specs at home, actually did the best on the mediocre machines used for the tournament. But I wasn't talking about tournaments, I was talking about playing online in general. I have no interest in playing in LAN parties. When I play at home, I want to do well. It's not fun to suck. I don't want to have to constantly invest to stay ahead of the curve.
Again, I've seen the larger monitor thing happen. Two clanmates were boasting better KTD ratios upon buying larger monitors, one clanmate was better when upgrading their machine. Mechanically and physically, it makes sense.
I'm not sure why you're attempting to argue down my points. My mind is made up already based on my witnessed experiences and the fact that none of my friends play on PC anymore (games I'd play with them). It's easier to buy a console and not worry about specs, upgrades, hardware, convincing friends to go back to PCs, etc. Gaming on PC serves no benefit to me. People consistently say the same benefits of PC gaming to me: better graphics, better community, more variety of games. I don't care about each of those.
