good luck downloading a porn collection with your Xbox.

I can check my email on a computer too. Not that I want to, I fucking hate email.

Also I don't have to pay full price for games on PC.

Microsoft is probably also selling those consoles at a loss.

video games are for children.

>muh pc is better because I can do things that the console wasn't intended to
My car is better than a pc because I can drive a car to a store
Nice fallacy there user

Consoles can barely do 4k. PCs could do that 3 years ago.

>I dony have to pay full price for muh bad pc ports
How's that 100 dollar windows license? I hope you didn't pirate it user

Everyone does this, it works forever because MS wants more installs more than they want a pittance retail sale.

Gtx 1060
You mean the 300 dollar 6gb card, I hope u dont mean the 3gb version user


Using an old pre-built cpu with a 1060 and not expecting it to Stutter worse than a retard

Pcfags are truly disgusting

But a high end computer 2 years ago is still much better than newest console today.

And you don't really need to buy new parts to play new games unless it's meme and/or terrible optimized games. In most case you just need to lowered the setting to get good fps.

Meanwhile you literally can't play PS3 game on PS4 although the PS4 has better specs.

Its CPU is garbage though. That's why PUGB get only 15 fps from it.

Pubg is an early access piece of garbage that existed because steam is a money hungry monster and pc gaymurfags are so starved for games they'll play Chinese asset flips

>b-but we're talking about gaming only

No one ONLY games with their rigs.

Spent $300 on a gaymen pc does everything on high @60 fps 1080p just fine.

>playing on a old Dell
I. Know people say you can just buy an old Dell and throw a cheap gpu in, but none of you morons actually do that, admit it

Yes but it doesn't deny the fact that CPU of X1X is garbage since it can't even play a chink game at 30 fps.

Are you getting mad user? Typical angry pc gaymurfags
And plenty of people mostly game on their computers, few of these retards buying 5k pc actually do complex editing or animation or even streaming

>durrr moron

2k for a entire pc isnt very expensive

i spend 2k on my core stuff alone cant afford a new screen, keyboard, mouse etc.

>a thousand dollar pc two years ago would've been high end, but it's barely mid range today
You're kidding, right? You can build a mid-range PC for $800 or so that beats current consoles. The extra $200 to reach your $1000 budget would net you a quite high end GPU. Also inflation...

The only real issue is that mining cryptocurrencies is so profitable right now that you can't get cards at MSRP. HOWEVER, that really doesn't matter since you can just mine some Eth or something for a month or two and make back that extra cost (and then some) pretty damn quickly. The ROI is real right now if you want to take advantage of it.

>needing to spend a thousand dollars on new pc parts to match a 500 dollar console

If it wasn't for the crypto rage I could beat an XboneX for $600 or so, but I'd spend a little more just so the system could be reasonably upgraded in the future without having to buy, say, a new PSU or motherboard. $800 will net you a system that beats the XboneX, plus you can upgrade it later if you desire, plus multiplayer is free, plus Steam sales beat every other platform.

>2k for a computer that I'll rarely do anything other than gaming and browsing isn't expensive
So this is what they called a spoiled Brat huh?

I'm glad you had that all ready to copy and paste user, so could u give me an 800 dollar new pc parts that can do 4k then?

>I'll rarely do anything other than gaming and browsing isn't expensive
Fuck off to a battlestation thread or Sup Forums, you brainlet

Ironically 4k and modern game engines are so GPU heavy i doubt ill see 100fps+ until 2020+

how the fuck is a $500usd gpu considered remotely spoiled brat territory? Its a budget gaming gpu for christ sake

Fuck sake Sup Forums your all poor and pathetic and this is coming from a fucking n33tfag who lives on the dole

poor people buy console

rich people buy pc

what part did you not understand?

Yeah, literally any decent current GPU will work, seriously it's not like 4K runs at max settings on the One X. Let me spend 5 minutes picking parts, brb

>meme answer
Enjoy playing your "superior" games with you X1X at 4K resolution then. Hope they don't look like a PS2 game that get upscaled to 4K.

pcpartpicker.com/list/Mns63F

It's just a little overbudget (58$), but only because I'm including both Windows ($90) and WiFi card ($35). If you're not a dumbass you'll pirate Windows, and not everyone needs a WiFi card on a desktop if they already have a router/switch with an extra port.

Note I'm in the US, so US prices in USD are what I'm basing everything off of. Don't expect quite as good prices with maplebucks or kangaroobucks.

If you're going to chose a game console as the primary purpose of entertainment, why would you chose the Xbone X? The PS4 and Nintendo Switch have a better selection of games and is capable of doing the same multimedia shit as the Xbone X.

>two years ago
>mid range today
Nah, man. The evolution of CPU performance has really slowed down. A high end machine from 10 years ago is still good enough for almost everything . Maybe with a RAM upgrade.
And if you are talking exclusively about gaming I shall refer you to

God it makes me think of a PS2

I did it with an HP, so...

>can't play VR on your XBOX One
You can do that on your Playstation 4 or Pro model, but it isn't nearly as good as the options on the PC. Oculus Rift and Vive are a lot better in comparison. Also the Playstation Move controllers are terrible for motion controls compared to Oculus Touch and the Vive controllers.

Pc without games are boring

Kek no.
A thousand dollars PC from 5 years ago (before ps4 and xbone) like sandy bridge + R9 290x was and still is more powerful than any console.

Since then PC have went orders of more than twice as poweful than that but that PC was better than the consoles even before they existed and still is better.

Its simply that the new PCs got even better but the consoles never did.

It is a meme.
Sell your gaymen PC, buy a Thinkpad and an Xbox One X and enjoy gaming in 4K while using your PC for pursuits of masculinity.

>Xbox One X
gaming what games lol?
Xbone has no games.

I'd get a ps4 to play bloodborne but fuck it i dont want to support the anti-consumer walled garden closed ecosystem tied to one manufactorer so Bloodborne can go play itself.

...

>VR
Lol try harder
VR is a meme, like Kinect was back then and it didn't even manage to outsell Kinect yet in all platforms.

>tfw could build a nice 650 bucks fair-tier build if it wasn't for the bullshit ddr4 prices
this fucking industry man

VR is the future, like it or not.
>TFW you can be inside a video game instead of looking at it from a screen.
I can't wait until VR replaces conventional gaming and even if it doesn't, it will still be here forever, or until people make holodecks a thing.

The only people that don't like VR are those who get motion sickness; have never tried it but are afraid of the future, or are too poor and can't afford one.

Are you brainlets not capable of criticizing something without falsely associating it with a group of people you don't like?

>Annual fee to play online

"the future" just like they said about kinect meme lmao

> Lots of games legitimately purchaseable for under $10
> PC can play a lot of games from $400 up
> Also useful for non game software
Yup, its a scam. Definitely stick with proprietary console ecosystems.

>Ironically 4k and modern game engines are so GPU heavy i doubt ill see 100fps+ until 2020+

As somebody who runs 4k on monitor and vr, a gtx 1080 is just about good enough imo.

Personally anybody with similar needs, ie 4k 60fps and vr shouldnt settle for anything less than very close to 1080 performance, id obviously suggest a 1080ti if you want serious 4k and vr with super sampling.

Of course, of course.

The thing is that more games are being made for VR than the Kinect. Also, a bunch of different hardware manufactures exist to improve VR, so if one company fails, another company can release a better one. VR is much better than traditional gaming because you, yes you are inside the game. It is much better and more immersive than buying 3 monitors or a expensive curved display.

And this, obviously. When is the NextBox coming out? Or will it be a PlayStation 5?

>100 dollar windows license
Keys are under $10.

Also, don't forget if you buy a XBOX, or PS4, or soon a Nintendo Switch, you have to pay to play online. Also, remember when you had to pay for XBOX Live to watch Netflix? Good times. If I want to play online on Steam, then I don't have to pay online. Why should I pay for internet and the ability to play online? I should only have to pay for the internet to play online and on the PC that is how things work.

>paying 60 bucks for a year of XBOX Live
>paying full price for a game instead of getting a huge discount on the Humble Bundle or Steam
>No mods

>mining instead of trading
Brainlet. Enjoy your red digits. Leave the mining to the companies with the huge that will blow your home hobbyist rig out of the water.

And even if you played on Linux there would basically be more games on Steam+Package manager (never mind emulators, in browser etc) than on an average current console.

nowadays the X1X is like 400 dlls these days, usually 450 or so bundled with some extra shit

You forgot
>Don't have to pay for games
Between all the games you can pirate, will be able to pirate, and can emulate, the fact you get to play so many games for free quickly makes up for the extra cost.
On the other hand, PC gamers are obviously cancerous since they popularized disgusting business tactics such as digital distribution, DLC, micro transactions, early access, games being released unfinished/buggy to the point of being unplayable since they can just be updated later "thanks" to digital distribution, and not being able to own a copy of the game you pay for which is an inherent part of digital distribution.

>> a thousand dollar pc two years ago would've been high end, but it's barely mid range today
>> needing to spend a thousand dollars on new pc parts to match a 500 dollar console

Both these statements are plain false.
A truly high-end PC, however, will certainly cost more than a console. Did you ever ask yourself why, though? Isn't it that MAYBE a PC lets you do a lot more than playing games?

Also, the PC can run emulators for almost every console under the sun or retro computer. You can even play Breath of The Wild in 4K. Want to mod the game? PC you can do that too.

Its also an inherent part of digital distribution that it doesn't cost $10+ to get a game into stores, and it doesn't cause furniture full of discs. People were long able to buy physical media but chose not to.

It's also maybe becuase you opted for a high end PC. Nobody said you can't build something as cheap and weak as a console for $350 or so instead of doing a nice $1k build.

I don't actually mine, just looking to trigger some gamerfag basement dwellers who can't afford a single GPU. Pool mining can be profitable if you pick the right crypto and actually cash out USD.

> a thousand dollar pc two years ago would've been high end, but it's barely mid range today
Isn't the first Xbox One barely managing 900p 30fps in new games?

desu when I got my first PC setup I spent £350 this was just before ps4 / xbone release. I could run everything at low / medium on an apu. After like 6 months I got a gpu since I couldn't run bf4 so that put my spend up to £500 and I am still using the same machine today and can run most thing in at least high with a framerate above 60. If you factor in how much I would have spent for Xbox live or whatever over these 5 years that easily covers the price of the GPU I bought so I essentially spent the same as a console but got a much better device. Also keyboard and mouse is a much better way of controlling vidya but I guess thats subjective. On top of that most people will buy a PC and a console if you get a custom rig you solve the problem for both of those in one device. I would say consoles are a meme. Especially if they didn't bring out any exclusive

>Its also an inherent part of digital distribution that it doesn't cost $10+ to get a game into stores
Online shopping is a thing now, and even with the cut that Steam gets, it would be cheaper to print physical copes that don't use an online service and sell them on your own store or Amazon. Since they cut out having to make an actual product and cut out the brick and mortar stores, games should be at least 25% cheaper, but they aren't. That was a straw man argument anyways, its not about how much they make, what matters is that the paying customer shouldn't get screwed.
>it doesn't cause furniture full of discs
Discs take up an insignificant amount of space, if the small amount of space they take up is that much of a concern then you should use your video game time on making more money. Also, with a proper physical release such as the Witcher games, once you install them from the disc you can sell them and the person that buys them will be able to install, play, and sell just like you did. Even if they did take up a significant amount of space, which they don't, it's a small price to pay to not get fucked. The only "advantage" digital has is convenience.
I have never and will never pay for any type of digitally distributed media, and I have gotten several people close to me to stop paying for it too and to just pirate instead.
Even if you aren't willing to pay for a physical copy, why not just pirate?

vr is pretty exciting desu when I get my next piece of student loan I'm gonna save like 1.5k of it to drop on one of the next federation headsets, I feel like getting in now is way to early for it to be anymore than a gimmick but I have high expectations for the next generation of headsets and games which come along with those

>lying on the internet
The absolute state of consolecucks

Didn't the 1080 come out two years ago?

When did Jim Carrey become part of the FSF?

How much I spent on consoles:

- First 360 in 2005: $400
- Second 360 in 2009: $300
- PS3 in 2008: $300
- Eight years of Live (2005-2013): ~$320 (8 x $40 one year cards).
- PS4 in 2014: $400
- Four years of PS+ (2014-2017): $180

>Total spent on just the consoles and service (excluding peripherals): $1900


How much I spent on PC:

- First gaymin PC in 2007 (8800 GT, Core 2 Duo E6750, 8GB DDR2; case/psu/mobo/etc.): $900
- Upgrade to Q9550 and GTX 260 in late 2008: $500
- Upgrade to GTX 470 in early 2010: $300
- Upgrade to i5 2500k (new socket, IE: basically second gaymin PC), new mobo, 16GB DDR3, GTX 680 in mid 2012: $900+
- Upgrade to GTX 970 mid 2015: $300
- Upgrade to i5 6600k (new socket again, IE: third PC) new mobo/16GV DDR4 in late 2015: $450

>Total spent on just gaming PC (excluding peripherals): $3350

Wish I could just go back and stick with consoles. All that money and my PC was never more than a midrange 1080p machine.

A 1080 can barely do 4k kiddo, and spending 500 dollars alone on the gpu when a whole console does the same thing for 500 is sad

>i5 7500
>8gb ram
>no ssd

You went over 500 by a huge margin and you still failed

You Pcfags can't decide, first you say the Xbox one x gpu is like a 1060 then u say it's more like an r9 290x, good luck finding an r9 290x for less than 300 dollars and good luck gaming at 4k with high textures on 4gb of vr am


>>

>Attempting to play a game with a 400 dollar pc at anything higher than 720p 60fps or 1080p 30fps

This is getting sad, just admit the Xbox one x beats a pc of the same price, your pc cult won't let u do that huh?

>muh system is better because I can steal games and rip off developers
You're NOT SERIOUSLY saying this is AN ADVANTAGE right?

High end gaming PC is indeed a meme, because 99% of the good games run on toasters, and don't run at all on the xXboneXx.

I mean, you can't even play truxton on it.
A 500 dollar box that can't play a game that a 20$ computer can.

>downloading porn

back to your shitty reddit, subhuman

Id rather not contribue to the total view score on the videos i watch repeatedly. I download once and Im done. This stops google from figuring out what im into, since i don't vidit the same porn video page 20 times.

I don't know what you're talking about I can still run everything released this year on Ultra on 2 year old PC that I got for 1000 Freedoms 2 years ago

>Spends $500 on console and $2000 on macbook
>"Haha pcfags getting scammed!!"

At least a MacBook works, enjoy your botnet wingblows

>Implying I'd let m*crosoft malware anywhere near my hardware

It can do 4k just fine with console settings graphics and scaling.

Why are you on windows then?

4k with console settings
So you're saying your 1080 is the equivalent of what the Xbox one x does then

I'm not?

>1060 then u say it's more like an r9 290x,

290x is the old king of GPUs
1060 is the new peasant.
290x is generally a little bit faster than 480 or 1060 so no contradiction here.

Ate you retarded? It'll run on 60fps+ in any game, unlike cinematic 24fps of xbone, because only 60 fps can be considered fine, unlike what consoletoddlers thinks.
