@Kezzy123: The review could have mentioned that this years PC instalment is at last finally a port from the current gen consoles, yes. PES 2017 was basically a port of the PS3/360 version of the game.
@readysalted: The GTX 1050 is half the price of a normal Xbox One and will play all current games. If you're talking about the same level of performance as a One X, it's still more cost effective option to go a brand new PC route for 2 reasons: 1) not paying for Xbox Live and 2) upgradeable hardware.
This thread over on reddit sums it up nicely:
"Now finally people are saying that you can't build a more powerful computer for the same price, and that's true (although you can get close and there are many other benefits of owning a computer), but it's also blown way out of proportion with how expensive people think PCs are, and it isn't fair to compare currently available hardware with hardware coming out in 5 months. First lets see how close we can get.

That's right about on par with the One X for only a little extra money. Yes you still have to buy Windows, I say use the free trial of Windows 10 for a while and consider the cost of eventually buying it as a substitute for the cost of Xbox Live. However it's not November yet! Most of the parts in this computer are a whole year old (the 1060) or 6 months old (the Pentium). Soon we'll be getting releases of AMD's new Vega GPU architecture, Ryzen's budget CPUs in the R3 line, Intel's new CPU architecture Coffee Lake, and maybe even Nvidia's new GPU architecture Volta or early 2018. There will be price wars and product lines shifting downwards in the lineup. The new Pentium will be allowed to stretch it's legs more when it isn't cannibalizing i3 sales because the i3 and i5 will be increasing core counts and thread counts to fill in the gap left when the i7 moves to 6 cores and 12 threads, and it will need to compete with the Ryzen R3. When AMD's Vega comes out, Nvidia will likely need to reduce prices on the 1070, other cards might drop prices as well to match. New video cards always give better performance per dollar. If you think it's fair to compare a console available in November to PC parts available in June, then maybe we should compare the Xbox One to PC hardware available in April 2018 if you think 5 months is enough margin.
@readysalted: 99% of PC's bought in the last 10 years would need a graphics card half the price of a normal XBone. 1% would need a couple more ram sticks too.
