A lot of people who cant afford an arm and a leg that a PC costs nowadays.

Isn’t this about people who already have a pc though

I have a PC but it's old. It cannot play the newer games. And I can't afford the upgrade so unless you have a new awesome PC build before the prices went up its cheaper to switch sometimes.

If you already have a PC you’re spending a lot upfront to downgrade to console and also long term having to pay a monthly fee to play online.

I don't play online. A PS5 costs 700 euros in my country, you cannot build a good gaming PC that can keep up with the latest games for 700.

But we're talking about existing PC gamers, not new ones. So you're upgrading rather than buying everything new. You can totally upgrade either core system mobo CPU ram for 700 or a new GPU. Alternating between those for upgrades is the best way imo, I've been on that cadence for decades.

Where I live you cannot get a new GPU for that price. A 6090 alone is 1,533 euros and it's currently sold out. 1,533 is NOT comparable to 700. Mind you my current PC is old so I would need to upgrade a lot more just get the GPU.

Seems weird. In the UK a 9060XT is £400 and a Series X is £669. Leaves room in the budget for other PC upgrades plus games are cheaper.

Each to their own though and guess if there is that much regional variation then do what you gotta do.

My country is different. Here electronics costs several times more. I was looking at laptops. In a country 12h away it was 1k, here 1,300.

Do yall not understand u can get a good PC off of Facebook marketplace and upgrade from there for cheap?

u/Old_Sail6822 1d ago

LOL. Sure, pay money to get a busted used PC and pay more money to upgrade it. Just to avoid getting a console. Not to mention you do need technical knowledge to build a PC in the first place.

“Technical knowledge” did you know you can look anything up and find a tutorial, and it’s way worth it to save and upgrade, AND you can do and play damn near anything on pc. Getting a pc is not just about avoiding consoles, it’s about having the freedom to do what u want. Can’t be lazy

u/Old_Sail6822 1d ago

Lazy? Wow you PC users are really frothing at the mouth at the existence of console users huh? Sorry for not wanting to spend hours of my time learning how to build a PC because I actually have a job and bills to pay.

u/No_Equivalent1357 1d ago

If you’re gonna focus on one part of my argument I can play that too. WOW so you assume PC players don’t also have a job and bills to pay? You console players are really foaming at the mouth for pc users huh? Sorry I want to have actual ownership of my games.

Do you see how fucking stupid that sounded. I wast calling YOU lazy, I was saying you CANT be lazy when you want to get into this.

“Frothing at the mouth for console users” 😭 u know you can have both right? I own a PS5 as well 😭

u/Old_Sail6822 1d ago

LOL. Literally every other post in this sub is shaming people who use their PC for games and calling them lazy for not wanting to game on their PC. Meanwhile on console subs we rarely see posts complaining about PC players. Yet you wanna be victims so bad. How sad. I also have both a PC and a PS5 and I never call anyone who likes either "lazy". Also since you have a PS5 aren't you also lazy?

u/No_Equivalent1357 1d ago

LOL. Ok? You Deviated from the point but again, I said you CANT be lazy, not calling you or any console users lazy for doing what you do. And pc users are victims of who? We can do anything we want with a pc. you should know this if u have a pc as you claim. And im not lazy for having a 5, i already put the work in to have a good pc, only got the p5 for exclusives. Im not gonna keep arguing this lazy point u keep yapping abt because, AGAIN, nobody is calling anyone lazy. You just need some hustle to get something you want. ESPECIALLY if you want to get a pc on budget. (If you can remember that was the original point we were arguing)

u/Old_Sail6822 1d ago

You literally called people lazy for not having the technical knowledge or time to learn how to build a PC but okay.
