So $1010 just to play free Chinese games and console ports with the number of mods being at a record low? Actually pathetic.

How can a 600 dollaridoo pc be weaker than a shitty fx CPU at 2ghz with a 480?
You can get 2600 + b450 + 16gb and 1660ti for that price

I used to think this way about consoles but I've been using my roommates PS4 and it's actually pretty tight. When you put it in rest mode you can pick up RIGHT where you left off.
Basically you turn on your tv and grab the remote and you're already back in, faster than my pc.

t. talking out of your ass, but I'll bite.
>PS4 MSRP is $300.
>Montly subscription is $10.
>Expected lifetime of the product from start to finish is 6-8 years.
>buying subscriptions month to month costs $720-$960, + console = $1020 to $1260
>Need to get games too. A fair estimate is a new game every 6 months. Average price is $80.
>$80 * 2 = $160 * 6 = $960, to $160 * 8 = $1,280
>A console costs, throughout its lifetime, at least $1,980 and at most $2,540... assuming you BYO tv, never buy replacement controllers or hardware, and only buy one full priced game every 6 months with no dlc and always buy monthly subscriptions.
>This price will go up if you buy replacement or spare controllers, if you buy dlc, the price will go down if u buy yearly subs.

These stats are similar to Xbox and Nintendo, and mind you sales are rare for games on consoles and when they do occur, they arent very big. Lets look at PC gaming.
>pcpartpicker.com
>$1,020 for this build alone
>This build should last 6-8 years in my experience, meaning budget wise we are still between $960 and $1,520 ahead.
>Still assuming BYO display as we assumed that in the console breakdown
>No online subscription required
>Average price of games varies between $40-60
>1 game every 6 months at that price costs between $480 and $960.
>we are still between $480 and $560 ahead.
>sales are very frequent on pc and sometimes go as high as 70% on major titles, this impacts the cost of the platform in the long run.
At the end of the lifetime of the two products, PC will cost you less than a Playstation 4. On top of that, PC has a far more competitive market, and theres more money to be saved down the track by reusing old parts when you upgrade, as well as backwards compatibility. Consoles strive to be as anti-competitive as they can be, and maintain their relativity through exclusive titles and a deathgrip on their studios.
On the surface, a console looks cheaper, but when you do the math, PC costs you less.

Yeah our mods are at a record low. I'm sorry how many mods does your console have? I couldn't hear you over the sound of microsoft banning you for modding your console.

There are plenty of 70% off sales on psn. And plenty of shitty $5 indie games.

Are you such a brainlet you don’t know how to use rest mode?
Also there’s no reason for game downloads to take that long unless you have shit tier internet.
Jack Martin
No he's not, this is Yea Forums. There is no high bar for effective bait.
Every post is bait, even yours. Even mine.

you can buy an above-average keyboard and mouse for like 80 dollars, buying anything more is simply enthusiast tier

Sounds like your problem isn’t gaming, but being poor. Have you considered moving to another part of the country for cheaper rent and a job that still pays well?
