The PS4 IS a PC. Only difference is that it runs GDDR5 for it's system memory instead of DDR3.

The thing we forget too is that Computers/graphics cards (and other Computer Components) are sold for a profit, consoles are sold at a loss. (One of the many reasons you don't see sales as often on console games)

Same here, except I'm a Systems Admin that needs to be able to run Virtual Servers for testing scripts, configurations, changes, etc at any given time and a console isn't going to have enough specs for that, let alone the ability to do that

You're right - I'm just referring to the feature-by-feature comparison. The Vita also has a ridiculously small library compared to any system right now.

It's not BS - due to it's nature, PC tech is far ahead of Consoles. That doesn't mean that PC gamers need to be throwing it in people's faces though. I prefer PC, long-term costs are lower, sales on steam all the time, Console-Style gameplay with 360 controller and Steam, and I don't lose access to my games when I…

Each has its benefits. I personally work in IT and need a $1000 laptop and a decent desktop anyway, so I'd rather do my gaming there as well than spend an additional $400-500 for a game system (I have a WiiU, but I didn't pay for it, it was a gift). I'm more concerned about games costing $70-80.

Why would I buy 2 consoles for the same functionality as the WiiU? Not a bad idea, but really costly. I'd rather not spend that much

It depends on the laptop. I use an ASUS Republic of Gamers G53SX model laptop w/ a GeForce GTX 560m and it works great (not to mention great cooling).

Another setting to consider - mainly with MMO games (they tend to be higher in CPU use than SP games) - is Frames Per Second limiting. Noticed this with Guild Wars 2 and Planetside 2. With both games, the FPS would soar between 15-20 FPS and 70-90 FPS constantly causing a very jittery game.

You're right, the point of a new console is for new games, but a new console and 1 or 2 new games is not worth the money if I lose access to the hundreds I spent on previous games. Also, with PC I can upgrade individual components for a much cheaper price than buying a new console. Turned my home desktop into an HD…

Personally, I've never used Peazip, I've found 7zip (and the accompanying 7Zip File Manager) far superior to any other compression product out there and it's free.

Yes, but do any of those sales let you get a full-priced $60 game for $30 or less?

But the catch here (and the big stickler for me) has nothing to do with used games, not for me, it's that games are expensive now and to be told that I cannot play or transfer old games to the next console infuriates me - I don't want to buy a $300-$500 machine AND buy $120+ of games just to be able to use it. That's…

I don't mean they have been dying since the 80s, but the model that began in the 80s is dying now.

A port is not the same as a remake. Remakes generally are game rebuilt from the ground up whereas a port just ports the code to a new platform

Great game, but not the original. Fire Emblem was on the NES, just never brought to America

Yes, but legally they can't monitor you outside of work hours anyway. Even then getting your personal user information from another site without a court order is illegal for ANY company to do.

Doesn't matter what they did, the only way for MS to find out who was posting here would have been to monitor that person's personal home internet, hack the details from the Kotaku user database, or demand that info from Kotaku/Gawker. None of which they have the legal authority to do (only a court can order options…

It IS odd that MS/Alpine tied their Kotaku usernames with their real names, though. No matter what contract they signed, MS/Alpine could never LEGALLY get their user/personal info from gawker/kotaku. Their NOT a court of law that can order that kind of stuff.

Dude, you're a jerk. Part of what made this country great was everyone has a right to their opinion. Nowadays, everyone has a right to their opinion, but if it doesn't agree with the company - you're fired. Not sure how that's even remotely legal
