@drlostrib: then what is it? A hugely overinflated superiority complex?

@Dark_sageX: Peasant? See there comes the elitism again. I have a gaming PC (although it's only used for working these days), I know plenty about gaming PCs, so yeah I'm pretty confident in my post.

It's more about the attitude that goes along with this argument (and PC gamers in general), which you have clearly demonstrated.

@drlostrib: dude, the whole PCMR thing boils down to this, people who have spent hundreds on their system hate the fact that console gamers have as much fun on a box that cost a couple of hundred.

All the above points are certainly valid.

I guess my post is a reaction to how often this argument is used by irate PC gamers who can't accept that someone can have fun on a console.

Every time a new console comes out theres a huge shout from the PC community about how you can build a PC for the same price that gives better gaming performance etc. And this is especially true with the release of the One X.

Now that may or may not be true, but after having a recent discussion (argument) with a PC gaming friend I felt I'd throw my logic down here too because I have a valid argument against this whole logic. Quite simply, taking the original PS4/X1 price points (£350/£429 respectively) can anyone show me a four year old gaming PC built for that cost that can even remotely keep up to the gaming performance of these consoles today? Of course you can't.

So this whole PC for the same price argument is completely illogical. That's a few hundred YouTube videos made irrelevant then ;)

A few months, but I didn't like it and went back to my Xbox One for gaming.

PC is for work only now
