Poll: Would you give up PC gaming for...

[Thesnipergecko]

Would you consider dropping £500 on the new PS4 OR Xbox and give up on PC gaming. I'm not suggesting throwing your PC in the bin, just not playing games on it.

Edited OP to be a little clearer.

You're asking an enthusiast forum of PC gamers and modders if they would give up their PC's for a console??

Yes. I'm considering it. PC gaming isn't what it used to be. Hacking, sloppy drivers, buggy releases, ill-optimized games.

I could barely run Far Cry Primal at a stable 60 FPS on a £3,000 PC. That **** should not be happening. Developers have gotten lazy due to the much smaller market.

Don't agree with you there mate......PC gaming has got a lot better and getting far more popular; while hacking, sloppy drivers?, bugs etc. do exist, they are hardly that bad, that its worth swapping to an inferior platform, where you can enjoy those same titles at a lower resolution and 30 fps?

I'm talking about the new iteration of the consoles. If they are as powerful as they claim, I would be more than happy to play a console game at 1080p60.

Really???? Who would give up PC gaming for consoles? The one person who voted yes obviously misclicked it or has brain damage.

It was only a question, no need to be so rude.

Yes, already done it. Well, the older model PS4.

What were your main reasons for doing do?

PC gaming is now out selling Consoles... it's larger and growing. source (one of many)

I wonder how many of the numbers are for 50p indie games.

Indicating additional trends in the way gaming companies monetise their games, many of the PC market’s most popular games fall into the category of free-to-play (F2P) titles such as League of Legends and Dota2, both of which are released through Steam.

To the OP; could you maybe give us some reasons why you think someone would consider giving up PC gaming for consoles?

Why? The point of the thread was to find out your opinions

Smaller market ???? LOL go do some research and you would find that the pc is the biggest gaming platform on the planet even ahead of mobile.

I could continue with the links however i think i have provided enough.

Did you mis-quote? I never claimed it had a smaller market.
