Also on pc you can use the excuse “i need it for school” for your parents.

I game on a original Nintendo wii and it runs as smooth as butter. I can get anywhere between 1-5 fps on wii sports on 360p resolution! Beat that ps4

[m.streicher]

The fact that I heard the words "locked 30 fps" just goes to show what system is superior.

You have to turn off Physx on the PC in metro. The PS4 does not do Physx. You will see a huge boost if you turn it off.

When you realize your CPU is more expensive than the whole pc lol

How to break the argument in two




Steam

90% of PS4 games are 900p upscaled to 1080p.

How is this a $200 PC when that graphics card goes for around $150 used on amazon?

[totinospizzarolls]

PC is just better overall. I could make a 600 word comment, but the only real reason for getting a console over a PC is for pure simplicity. Some people just don't give a shit about building computers, while others just aren't capable (under 10s for example). Consoles are a very easy way to get into gaming, but PC is the ultimately the best option.

Don't forget that PC can play every game under the sun from 70's 80's 90's 2000's on emulators for all consoles. PS1, N64, SNES, NES, Gameboy, PS2, PSP, 3DS, WII, Gamecube.

AND

You can pirate all AAA games easily from kickasstorrents or piratebay the day they are released.

AND

You can plug a 360 pad in to a PC and have couch co-op in all 2-8 player.

It's been 5 years and now a $200 pc got worse compared to a ps4.

Clean, thorough, and informative. As always, nice video Matt, glad to see you go into detail and answer all the questions before people can even ask them :)

Console peasants, PC Gorms... Only the worthy play with the Wii controller

I used to play on console, and still do. On Xbox one specifically. One day I decided to save up about 760 bucks to get a pc and I did. Got an i5 6500 and an Xfx amd Rx 480, with 8gb's of ram and a gigabyte motherboard that supports crossfire. I've got to say, it's pretty amazing, the difference in performance is out of this world. No more Fps drops, all settings on ultra, and 90-140 fps on most recent games. Now when going back to the Xbox (which i still use and love) I can't help but notice the dips in frame rate in a lot of games as well as the 720p resolution. On pc, I can even run some recent games on 4K with at least 40-50 frames tops and dips to 30-25 As well, without my computer absolutely melting. Not to mention the EXTREME variety of games ranging from emulated ones to well, anything else. It's a great investment. Aaaaand, you can always just upgrade a component if you want more power. Instead of buying a whole new console.

I don't get why PC players want console players to get a PC so badly like you hate them why want them on your platform?

[Clybius]

Let's be real. The only reason current gen consoles are a thing is because of the exclusives made for them.

Terry Crews has joined our glorious race. I can't wait for him to start on Twitch!

[kushwahaSaurabh]

Consoles are Apple products of Gaming world.

People are saying how everyone has a TV and not a monitor...why not plug the computer into the TV? All you'd need is a DVI female to HDMI male adapter...

Quick Update Time!
1: Like I said in the video this is just meant to be an objective comparison of the two systems. Game on whatever you want I personally game on pc AND console there are benefits to both as I have laid out in the video.
2: I thought I covered all of my bases when making the video, but I clearly forgot to talk about exclusive titles. PS4 has a lot of great exclusive titles like many of you pointed out. The PS4 has about 60+ exclusive titles. The PC also has exclusive titles with 300+ exclusives, yes many are indie games, but many are triple A. Both have good exclusives, so I can't really understand personally choosing a platform based off of it's exclusives, but it's your money so buy what you want and will get the most enjoyment and use out of.
3:Many of you are questioning whether or not you could replicate this build and question if I have lied about the price. To that I would implore you to watch the original video about the $200 PC and my part finding guide. Both of which are linked in the description. With the original video giving proof of pricing for all parts purchased.
4:Stop being so brutal to one another in the comment section. we are all gamers and should be able to game on whatever platform we want to without being looked down upon by others.

I hope you enjoyed the video, but if not I understand. Also, thanks for watching and have a great day!
