Doesn't make any difference to me. A comment on reddit isn't going to be the straw that makes a person switch from Console to PC. I just see these types of comments on every single "help me decide on what console to get" thread. It isn't helpful.

I get it, PC is getting cheaper to get into and is getting more accessible while being powerful. But some people value different things in consoles than other people. Instead of acknowledging this, "get a PC" people choose to disregard it.

Edit: I'm an Xbox and PC player that tends to use my PC to game more.

Why recommend something that the dude hasn't even asked about? If they aren't asking about it why not just assume that they took the time to consider it and just stick to answering the question they asked?

It's like someone asking if they should have hotdogs or burgers for dinner and you reply with "sushi." The dude knows what he wants and narrows it down to two options. Just help him make that choice. Certainly doubt it would actually make him buy a PC.

That’s a completely valid opinion, and I can completely see where your coming from, I honestly got more enjoyment out of building my PC than just buying my Xbox, but my PC also cost around the same price, and it is much less powerful, I agree, for a lot of gamers pc is the way to go, but I don’t think that was OP’s question, he wanted to know if he should switch from PlayStation to Xbox, and I personally think you can get a lot of enjoyment from both pc and Xbox, and it ultimately depends on what kind of gamer you are.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.online-tech-tips.com/gaming/pc-vs-console-gaming-pros-and-cons/

Haven’t tried an elite controller yet. I want to get hands on with it before I order one because if they are anything like the stock controller in build quality I can’t imagine it being worth the money, for me anyway.

You know what they say about big hands right?….big controllers!

Your measure for what is good isn't what is considered actually good, PC has cheaper games, more games, more free games, more controller options, can be cheaper or more expensive, has a full VR library, can mod games, multi monitor support, higher refresh rates, higher resolutions, free online, any peripheral you want, more audio options, better recording software and video editing features, epic games weekly free games, steam, humble bundle, emulation at higher than native performance and resolution, better chatting options, mouse and keyboard, ability to use PC to do other things, ability to have access to playstation and xbox exclusives over time or now, game pass, small PC, big PC, portable PC. You being able to use a $600 console on a $1400 TV to play fortnite with a controller at 4k doesn't matter when PC has all that and more, that's why I recommend a PC over a console, 4k gaming doesn't matter when you have to pay $10 dollars every month just to play online and every game costs $70
