I mean, there's a very distinct set of games for PC and consoles. And then there's some in between.
For instance, I'd never play TLOU, or CTR, or Horizon on the PC. Just like I'd never play SC2 or D2R on a console.
But having to spend several thousand dollars for a high-end gaming PC is a complete joke. Not to mention the utter lack of resale options. On consoles I can grab the disc used for half the price, then pass onto the next person - idealliy for the same price. So you can literally play for free. On the PC everything's linked to your accounts.
So yeah, PC gaming is outperforming consoles, but I just can't understand how. Do people have too much money to spend?
1. Most PC gamers have <$300 US GPUs. You can build a very decent $700 gaming PC again. You don't need a 4070 Super, most people are still buying 4060s and 7600s or used previous gen parts.
2. You can't upgrade consoles. Your PS5 cannot become a PS5 Pro, but your PC can.
3. You don't have to worry if your games will be cross gen compatible
4. Modding, I am just now playing through FFXIII, not sure why, but I decided to pick up the entire series on PC for less than $20. Each game has HD texture packs available to make the game look better in 4K
5. Emulation, YUZU, RPCS3, CEMU, Dolphin and many more are excellent emulators that allow you to play your games that never made it to PC officially, with enhancements
6. Multi-Purpose, PCs can do much more than a console
7. Wider input support. I like mouse for FPS and P&C games, but controller for adventure, action games.
8. Availability of games and typically better than console pricing, though not as good as it used to be on this one.
...and there are many more reasons, but this is a good start
