We all argue once in a while about which console is 'best ever' but we never seem to mention PC's.
Consoles all come out, get a good supply of games and we end up playing and finishing them all. After that, a better game comes out. We all wow at its graphics, play it and finish it. Then the companies release a new console which is 'better than the previous consoles.' We all go out and buy them (Or many, many people have to save up for months and months until they finally have enough money to afford it.)We also need to buy more controllers and memory cards.
But when they do have enough money for it, the console is usually getting rather old, and everyone says "been there, seen it, done that." You end up thinking you wasted your money.
We never bother thinking about PC's. Once you have got a decent PC, you will have a HUGE games library to choose a game from. You dont need more memory cards or more controllers, just a mouse, keyboard an maybe a joystick. You can even update your PC, but you cant update a console.
Whats more is that you can do homework on a PC, and not on a console.
Consoles nowadays are being able to go online, but it is very slow and you end up with a huge bill. PC's are fast online and you can control the games better as you have much more buttons and controls.
So whats the choice, a console which will only last a year or two or a PC? I know a PC is much more expensive but it will last longer.
I know what I would choose...
