The bad thing about trying an analysis like this is trying to account for everything else a PC can do.


and then compare how badly consoles fail at attempting this. like the browser on PS3

I just don't see how people can say an xbox is better than something (a PC) that is essentially an "xbox ultimate version 2.0." it can do everything an xbox can plus everything it can't.

Maybe after spending hundreds of hours


Hundreds of hours? Were you building your own chips and components too?

No way. That's grossly overestimating.

and it's going to cost me less than a console to upgrade my PC next time as well...

I'll spend $450 on my computer to upgrade it past what the ps4 and new xbox can do once they are released..

my original PC cost me $650

I've upgraded it twice in 10 years

$500 the first time

~$450 the second time (currently in the process of this one)

quit joking man. if you can find a PC for only $2,000 that takes under 5 years, then I can pull a monkey out of my arse

You are just now realizing this? This thread has already existed many times in various forms. It never, ever, changes any minds.
