In this video, I share my personal story of why I left console gaming and switched over to PC gaming. This is not a console hate or bashing video. I was a die hard console fan boy for many years. More specifically, I was a die hard Xbox fan. But I was told so many times over the years that PC was the superior platform. I was stubborn and did not want to even consider PC gaming. However, the Xbox One continued to let me down. First, it was a lack of power and then it was a lack of games. The PlayStation 4 broke sales records. The PS4 had a ton of award winning and critically acclaimed exclusives such as God of War, Spider-Man, The Last of Us, Days Gone, and Horizon Zero Dawn.

PC had better hardware. This meant higher framerates (fps), better graphics, higher resolution, mod support, and in many cases cheaper games.

Then Xbox made the announcement at E3 2019 that all first party Xbox titles would be available on the PC day one. Game Pass was coming to PC and would be called PC Game Pass.

Then Xbox confirmed that these same games would now also be available on Steam. Xbox officially would never have a true exclusive.

Then PlayStation started releasing exclusives on Steam as well. As of now, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, Death stranding, and Detroit Become Human are all on PC. And coming up, Ghostwire Tokyo will be exclusive to the PlayStation 5 (PS5) and PC. Xbox will not have this game.

PC truly has the least limitations. And exclusives are now becoming less and less of an issue. I truly think console was better than PC at one point. But in 2021 and beyond, PC is truly the best gaming platform.

What are your thoughts on PC gaming vs console gaming? Do you play on PC or console? Let’s keep it civil in the comments section please lol.

I’ve been thinking about getting a PC ever since the next gen consoles released. I’ve done research and realized that I’d be saving money in the long run, getting a better gaming experience. Not to mention steam sales, game pass, emulators? free online? It’s a win win for me. PC gang here I come!

[mohammadwaleed]

Man just for the fact that you could play every generation of console that ever made on one place, and with the highest graphics & framerate …just Awesome ❤️

[Arismory]

Portable consoles like the switch and the steam deck are the future for console gaming.

[Osiris-wmkj]

"Hows 30 fps down there?" 🤣 gonna send that to my brother right now

Can’t go wrong with a PC. You can even use Xbox controllers on a lot of games if you don’t like mouse and keyboard.

Why PC is better?

1.Cheaper games.
2. Better performance.
3. Better visuals.
4. Mods
5. No online fees to use the internet you already pay for.
6. You get all the xbox games, some of the PS games, and can emulate Nintendo.
7. As the PC ages you can adjust settings to achieve the best visual/performance combo acceptable to you until you wish to upgrade.
8. Several handhelds exist for a hybrid experience, bring those games with you like the switch but better.
9. Use any controller... Hell any input device really from KB/M to a 360 pad.
10. Console gaming Is slowly dying, sales of the hardware have plateaued while PC makes more revenue than all consoles combined.
11. You can do a LOT more on it than a console.

Console advantages?

1. You can share physical games.
2. Plug and play out of box, though modern PCs hardly require you to be a rocket scientist.
3. Cheaper up front investment, but more expensive over time with fees and more expensive games.


Consoles are like credit cards, cheap up front instant gratification but you pay more over time.

PC is like paying cash, bigger hit to the wallet up front but cheaper over time saving you money on your investment long term.

Been a PC gamer for a while (last console I had was a PS2) and got a Switch in 2019. Seeing what the Steam Deck can do (including emulate Switch games), I'm planning on getting the Steam Deck 2 and go back to PC. I don't think I'll ever go back to console at that point. It's just too limiting.

[thehorsecockexpress]

Got a series X and a PC with a rtx 3070, consoles have their place but PC generally have the advantage. Just the better graphics and much faster running games

[kaleidoskope]

Personally I prefer pc for many reasons, like being the only platform that has some genre's I've always enjoyed (rts, simulators, crpg's, mmorpg's etc.) huge selection of peripherals, multi monitor support, modding, hardware customization and much more. For example my current build I put together around a 1440p high fps playstyle with a Ryzen 9 5900X/Rog Strix 6800XT/ 32Gb ram. I also have my Switch because I've always been a Nintendo fan and a handheld enthusiast. I do however have many older consoles and games I've collected over the year and there's nothing wrong with gaming on console as a primary way of playing as long as you're happy and having fun, after all that's what it's all about in the end.

I got a Ps5 in the beginning of the year and recently built my first PC. I regret getting the Ps5 almost every day. I don't hate it but the only reason I still have it and use it is to play with friends who are just to stubborn to switch to PC.

[switchstreamgaming]

This video is full of just plain honest truth. Completely agree with what you have said here about PC gaming. It’s not perfect, but it is close enough.

[roopakpanwar]

The best way to enjoy maximum AAA games is Buy a
•PS5
• PC (with Game Pass for PC)

[michaelgutwald]

good decision that you will not regret. On the contrary, once you have gotten to know the convenience and sales of Steam and you notice that you will never lose a game again, including settings and scores, you will wonder why you didn't do that much earlier.Incidentally, the Playstation exclusives will also find their way on the PC!

and with the steam deck you can even enjoy your entire library on the go, how awesome is that

Sorry for the Google translation, greetings from Germany

Made the switch, got tired of subscriptions, and did not like how consoles are not backwards compatible

[netocaste]

Cheating is what stops me from switching

[nicosuave]

I always wanted to know your thoughts on this @Erock! Now we finally know what the real erock on deck thinks! Thank you for another banger and thank you for the very nice shout out at the end of the video! Been 1 year now since I have been witness to your journey and look forward to several more years!

[MotoguyX]

Honestly I went from maining PC for for over 13 years back to console. At my point in life I value pick up and play, little trouble shooting and not configuring games to get the most out of them as it eats into my limited gametime. I know it's really not a big deal usually, but I don't care much for spec lust anymore, and resolution and FPS aren't top on my list for enjoyment either. Regardless I don't blame you for going to PC, it is a better experience if your willing to put in a little effort!

[TheRealFloc]

Lol 😂 I loved the skit in the beginning! Great video man. Loved hearing your story about getting into pc gaming. I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already wow.

[elijahgordon]

“Phil Spencer fundamentally believes you should not be punished for the platform you play on” … does that include MacBook Air? 🤔
