Poll Console owners, is it time to build a PC? (79 votes)

Yes, nearly all the games from Sony and Microsoft are coming to PC 56%
No, Console is still the way to go. 44%

With so many games from Sony and Microsoft coming to PC, is now a better time than ever to switch from console to PC.

I owned a gaming PC well before console (Unreal Tournament clan) and I've changed my mind on next gen. Assuming all the game are coming to Gamepass on PC and Xbox, I'm going to build a PC and skip consoles at least in the beginning.

Non PC owners do you think its time?

@NathanDrakeSwag: I wouldn't laugh - your X1X can't even run TW3 at 1080p as well as an old i5 6500 and a GTX970

If only there were more true 4k sources for games and tv. It's 2020 but we still only have a small amount of true offerings.

They are shilling for who now?

I never understood why people believe they have the authority to tell others what to game on.

If you want to game on PC, game on PC.

If you want to game on consoles, game on consoles.

If you want to game on mobile, game on mobile.

It really no-one's freaking business what you game on.

You do realize that console owners shill quite regularly, right? SW is like a "shilling" sport. Let's get it into the Olympics!!

PC+Nintendo Switch actually gives you more than anything else.

(PS4/5 is just for show)

I agree, typically Nintendo/PC is probably the best combo.

PS/Xbox share much of their library with the nature of their games similar, while Nintendo tend to be family friendly and old-school in nature.

Nope Ps5/XSX, just more easily accessible to game on console. I'll probably try Xcloud streaming for PC games on my work tablet.

Instead of the specs of next gen, imagine having a 14+ TFLOPS system, 64GB of RAM, 12 Core CPU at 4.6 GHz, with whatever SSD capacity you want...

I'm describing my PC. If you want cutting edge, you gotta pay for it and build it yourself. It's not hard! But it takes a little TLC. And money. Can't forget the money part. The Xbox Series X is a beast for the price. (Whatever that may be) If your biggest concern is multiplats, look no further. If you want exclusives... LOL... The 1800p box with the fast ssd might be your pick

consoles are for kids mainly, affordable for parents that dont wanna throw down much money on their kid, computers are for adults with jobs and they can buy whatever the hell they want.

I'm good with consoles. It's easier for me and I just find it more comfortable. Plus, I like things to be portable so the Switch is great in that aspect.

Very much a personal opinion but I've had my PC since early 2015 and while it's been robust in all departments...maintaining it's cleanliness is a hassle. That's if you're a clean freak like me. My room gets incredibly dusty no matter what I do. I think it's mainly due to the carpet that's been here since the 70's I'd say.

A good PC is great to experience at least once in your life but I'm not that much of a tech guy to really care for it.
