Will you be buying/building a gaming PC next gen?

Simple question. All of you who are console only.  Will you be buying a PC next gen?  Are you interested in buying a PC next gen? Or will you stick with being console only. 

Why I ask?  Available PC hardware already beats nextgen consoles now.  New PC hardware is coming or already here which will drop currrent PC hardware prices down.  By next year the next generation of PC hardware will be coming out which will again drop current PC hardware prices down even more.  Again this current hardware is already superior to next gen consoles by quite a margin.  Right now a PC that beats nextgen consoles will run you about $800.  That number could be as low as $400 in two years.  A fulfledged gaming PC better than next gen consoles could cost about $100 more than the consoles pretty soon (not launch prices but assuming price drops in two years).  Would being able to build a PC as cable as next gen consoles for cheap cause some of you who otherwise wouldn't think about PC gaming to consider it?

This is not going to end well.clyde46

but it will be delicious in the beginning like most food :)

does it ever end well on SW? Isn't that part of the fun? :) 

I advice people not to buy a gaming PC, you will be greatly disappointed.

The fact alone that you advise against it, suddenly makes a gaming PC seem more and more irresistable :)

If you want amazing exclusives, you can only get them on consoles.

I advise people to use the word advise when they're advising someone, not 'advice'. 

Anyway. 

The OP stipulates that this is for those who are console only. I'm not console only, but god dammit I exercise my right to post. 

Yes I will probably get a PC during the course of next gen. It's basically inevitable. I like to build them, tech is always getting faster and cheaper. I don't think I'll upgrade again until I can get greater than 4 times the frames compared to my Radeon 7850. 

Getting a new Macbook next month but I leave my gaming to consoles :cool:RR360DD

I'll be upgrading in the near future most likely. Just need a new graphics card. 

Not really interested in a PC for gaming. That's more for a lonely crowd.Murderstyle75

[QUOTE="RR360DD"][QUOTE="clyde46"] I'd wait for the refresh now that Haswell is out. clyde46

I played Gears of War 1 on PC the other day, split screen with my lady. 

Experience a bit of the world buddy. There is more happening in the world than just your experiences. 

[QUOTE="bobbetybob"][QUOTE="Murderstyle75"]Not really interested in a PC for gaming. That's more for a lonely crowd.Murderstyle75

I already have one. 

You mean a back that actually let's you replace the battery and have expandable memory? That sure would suck!bobbetybob

:D

lol why buy a PC. Next gen consoles will easily overpower even the most powerful PCs out there. Besides, why would you want to sit awkwardly in front of a small monitor, when you can have comfy couch, a big screen TV and hot chicks in your lap lololo

we are in the post pc era right now. i may get a pc for school and the odd game. But as for needing a pc for daily life i can already do everying on my phone or tablet. right now i will need to spend far more money in a pc just to see a margunal difference since pcs are poorly optomized.

already have one

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="Murderstyle75"] The games are single user licenses and have no local multiplayer. Meanwhile consoles have always been more of a social experience besides just your imaginary online friends.Murderstyle75

Hahaha

Bro, do you know what a PC actually is?

A very superficial look yields 161 coop games on the PC. That's couch coop FYI.

Why isn't there a choice for "I already own a Gaming PC and will be buying a next gen system also" 

I own all this gens consoles, the Wii-U and a gaming PC. I have the best of all worlds. I could never exclusively own just 1 platform, I would have to have at least 2 if not 3. 

If I go PC only I miss out on Nintendo Titles ( I do Love them) and the Tales of games, Final fantasy, Naughty Dogs next entry as well as the GTA series takes forever to come to PC and so forth.

So No, I will never go PC only

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"][QUOTE="clyde46"] Well explain why less and less console games are supporting splitscreen MP then...psymon100
