PS4 vs PC

willpless77 · Dec 3, 2013

I've been researching and looking around online forever about which all around better, PS4 or PC. Know I obviously know PC is more powerful and looks better, but how much better? PS4 is way cheaper, but games cost $60 each and PC is way below that with Steam. And over time the price of all those PS4 games will add up to the PC and the games. So I guess this is my question, should I wait and continue to buy and play games on my Xbox until I get a PS4, or should I save up and only buy a good gaming PC? Or maybe somwhere in between (okay gaming PC for now and then buy a PS4 later) Sorry for the long question, Thanks.

I would build a PC and forget about the PS4 for good. Once you start PC gaming, you will not want to go back.

i guess right now at 1080p you can play medium/high on some ps4 games???......... a pc will be better from the start and always be upgradable.

It also depends on the types of games you play, and if you want to play with your friends that have a similar system. Its not always about raw processing power.

I think your last solution sounds just about right. Get a budgeted PC now and then get a PS4 a year later or so. There are 2 reasons for this:

1. Next-gen consoles are just out for a few days. Their exclusive launched games are bad in my opinion, and it would take about a year or so for good exclusive games like God of War, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, Gears of War, Blue Dragon, etc... to come out. And believe me, those exclusives well worth the price of any console, Other launched games (BF4, Fifa 14, NFS Rivals,...) you could play on PC with no problems. And there would be some PC exclusives that worth your time and money as well (Starcraft 2, The Sims series, Dota, Counter Strike, LoL, The Witcher,...).

2. It's Christmas time, there should be tons of good deals for computing components. And I'm not sure if the launch of next gen consoles affect the price of components, but I hope it does lower the price.

That was what I did exactly 3 years ago, except that I went for a gaming laptop and quite regret my decision, but it served me well anyway. However, I think the life cycle of a gaming PC is much shorter than that of a console, so if you want a consistency gaming pc, you will have to prepare for costs of upgrades. Just a bit of information to help you make your decision.

not another ps4 vs pc debate...

do yourself (and us) a huge favor and read the other debate here on toms.

honestly both pc and ps4 have their own pro/cons and its up to you to decide which is right for you.
