I guess the argument of PC gamer is cheaper because the games are cheaper is truly over ?
(at least for now)
But console games have also gone up in price..I guess the argument of PC gamer is cheaper because the games are cheaper is truly over ?

So that argument still stands..

But consoles haven’t
(although not really, N64 games were like £60, I paid £45 for FF7, it’s the same now 20 years later!)So that’s 2 - 0 to consoles. Lol

PCs have never been about money saving, not sure what you are getting at Raymond. Its about keyboard and mouse being far superior, better visuals (although these beefed up consoles are not far off these days) and being able to mod games etc.
Consoles do have some hidden costs, like the pads lasting 5 minutes and they are not cheap to replace. I'll always have a PC as I couldnt play games like Skyrim or Fallout without my vast mods and also couldnt play fps games without a m&kb, but I just can't justify a gpu thats selling for twice what it should be due to crypto mining. I'd rather just get a PS4 for now and play some of the exclusives like The Last of Us.
I do also want a Switch just to play Zelda, but this is where console gaming gets even more expensive than PC gaming when you end up buying all the consoles lol.

I've invested wayyyy too much money in PC gaming. I've got a comfy keyboard/mouse, proper desk chair (human scale), and yet, I still cannot play with a mouse and keyboard. Much prefer sitting on a sofa with a controller in my hands.
As such, I've never understood the argument that KB/Mouse is better.

Ive heard the price argument many times with PC games are generally £30 and the frequent steam sale being the main one. And the pc gamers would argue ovrr thr yesrs the £10 or £20 savings per game will add up. My argument for console is they lasts years, although not so much this gen as we have had a mid cycle refresh but a console tends to have a life cycle of 7 years whereas you'd struggle to play the latest release game on a 7 year old pc.
Anyway I digress as PC gamers are often push for the graphical edge but with the high price of Gfx these days you are really being punished for wanting that extra 10% when a PS4 pro or XB1X does very well for under £500.
I'm a mouse and keyboard shooter at heart, I really can't do FPS on pads so I just don't get this genre of games at all. It's the sacrifice I make for not having a PC.

Also not sure what you're doing to gamepads to make them last 5 minutes Mark but I don't think I've ever replaced a gamepad due to wear and tear

This GeForce Now thing looks interesting though. Depending on its price it could change the equation again.

Only just completed Season 1! Never seen it before.... Im hooked 
It's each to their own. I know some refuse to go near M&KB, & likewise others (like myself) that would never dream of using controller on anything other than platformers. Still makes me shudder to see some using controller on Skyrim, Witcher etc
M&KB can be waaaay more accurate than a controller (also probably why controller games have aim assist), like even just turning around can be done almost instantly on M&KB, not so on controller unless you change settings to very high sensitivity, but by doing that, you've lost any proper aiming & vice versa.
I recall M$ did a group test some years ago, with good players on M&KB & controller. Those using controller got slaughtered.
Anyhoe, I'm OT so off back to my little corner

But I don't play games to be the best at them. I play them to enjoy them. I can't enjoy them with RSI and back pain :/
