No PS5, Xbox or Switch - Why my PC is everything I need

What is better - PC or console? This question has been given to many gamers for several decades. card editor Johannes explains why he is a passionate PC player.

More and more people decide against a fat gaming machine. According to Statista, there are now even more consoles than PC players in Germany. Nevertheless, the rivalry of the two platforms is still very prominent.

Especially during the corona crisis and the associated lack of graphics cards and consoles, some players had to reset their priorities. For one thing or another, the serious consequences had.

Sturning, who builds a PC exactly at the time ...

Since NVIDIA with the 3000 series, a new graphics card age injected, the market is in flames. Thousands of Scalper tackle busy new hardware under the nail to resell them overpriced.

Whoever currently wants some halfway decent graphics card must be deep into the pocket or be extremely patient. No good time to start a hardware project ... Hello! My name Hot John and together in November 2020 together my gaming PC.

Do you want to advise what the device is missing? I give you a tip: It starts with graphic and listen to card . For over half a year, I have a decent tower PC, which has to cope with a rickety GTX 960. I have a road bike with support wheels.

Sid your console player? And if so, which console suits you? Figure it out!

Why does not the jerk just buy a console ??

Although the PS5 and Xbox Series X have to fight with bottlenecks. However, it is currently clearly easier to get to a new console. Nevertheless, I stay faithful to my PC - for good reason.

In my free time, I'm busy with indie and strategy games. Especially the latter is now found for various consoles - but the controller control has never really convinced me.

There are few games that in my opinion work better with a controller than with mouse and keyboard. And these are arcade and racing games. Yes, even Red Dead Redemption 2 I prefer (in awful resolution) prefer to play with mouse and keyboard. The reason: people are habit animals.

No console child? No problem for me!

Already during my childhood I have always gambled on the PC - I did not have a console. The exception was an iconic handheld - the Nintendo DS Lite. The associated games were just too expensive to me.

I preferred to spend the money for two to three PC games (or LEGO). Yes - two to three PC games! Thanks to Greenpepper and various Steam sales, you could buy several PC games for the price of a DS game.

And I still see this trend today. Of course, there are many sales for console games. But nothing - except perhaps the Steam Summer Sale - Toppt the weekly free games in the Epic Games Store.

Of course there are many uninteresting games. But every now and then are real beads like GTA 5, Control or Civilization 6 . Also surprises like For The King are always welcome in my library.

So the pile of shame continues to fill up - but on this topic you will already find your own article at game tips. Fact is only: In the meantime I have distributed over various Launcher about 400 games .

Like an Elster looking for Glitzerkram. The problem: my glittering cram is mostly PC-exclusive. At that time like today I see for me no reason to change to a console - with changing the most games could not do anyway.

I got used to my PC, my playing library and the control with mouse and keyboard and am happy with it. But there is another reason why consoles are unattractive for me - my consumer behavior.

card editor Daniel has a different opinion on the subject:

PCs - the perfect overall package for any use

During my studies and also in the private sector, I had already done several times with some programs that are very resourceful. A powerful PC is worthwhile with me not only for gambling, but also for that.

In addition, I often use my PC to consume Netflix, YouTube and Co.. Often too, while I choose - thanks to the second screen, all this is not a problem. All that would certainly be with a console ... but it works like that. and pretty good.

Maybe I'm just too lazy for a change. But in terms of PC gaming is and remains my motto Never Change a (halfway well despite bad graphics card) Running System!

Is the PC better than PS5, Xbox and Switch?

Everyone has to decide for themselves. The eternal debate, which is better now or not, leads only too much unnecessary stunk anyway. Just use what your bock has. Console children and PC patriots are both the same - passionate gaming lovers at the end.
