6 reasons that prove Consoles are better than PC


There are pros and cons when it comes to gaming on a PC or on consoles, and you’ve just got to decide which ones matter the most to you. Once you’ve picked a side, you’ve got to dig your heels in and defend your purchase mercilessly anytime the topic comes up, including personal attacks and straw-man arguments about anyone who chose the other side.

Granted, console’s don’t get all of the crazy sales that you’ll see for (usually older) PC games on sites like steam, but at least you can sell or trade your games when you’re done with them if you have the actual disc, and you can get a lot of older titles for a fraction of what they originally cost, too. You can also trade games with your buddies, and save even more cash by buying used games.

4. There are more (bad) games on PC

People will talk about the huge catalog of PC games, and that you have almost limitless backwards compatibility for older titles. Yes, there are a ton of PC games, and a ton of amazing ones from over the years, but there’s also an incredible amount of total stinkers to have to wade through.
