Not sure how this follows. A PC can do everything a console can do, but better, faster, quieter, and with an ever larger library of games.
While youre quite right, that comes at a higher cost.
Not only that but PCs are nowhere near as plug and play as a console. Yes Nvidia provide one click optimisation, and PC is nowhere near as complicated as some people make out, its certainly not as easy as some people make out either.
Ive had (as Im sure many pc gamers have) times where Ill get random errors and I have to spend a little while messing with drivers, whether it be reverting to a previous driver for better performance, or editing ini files etc.
Some people forget that people that frequent forums like this, and have the knowledge many of us do are in a minority. There are people that struggle to work a cable box or DVR let alone self diagnose or start troubleshooting a pc. Putting a couple of sticks of ram is easy right? But some people out there would panic at the thought of even contemplating opening the panel off a case to do it.
All of that aside while I prefer the performance I get on a PC, I personally end up spending more time looking at temps and frame rate counters than I do playing the game. Im always trying to find a way to squeeze extra performance. Often trying different drivers, editing files etc. Ive also lost count of how many times in the past Ive messed about with fan configurations, positive pressure, negative pressure, setting the top as exhaust, or intake, push pull, what are the best temps etc and end up not even playing a game lol.
With a console I have no choice, I start the game and thats it, and sometimes its nice to do that. I know in the evening after work if I want to play a game, on a console its just gonna run generally.
But Id be lying if I said I didnt die a bit inside when I play a game with crappy frame rate. I wish consoles didnt focus on 4k, its far too soon in my opinion. Ive noticed a few games having performance or quality mode, and Id love that to become common place, as it gives people like myself a choice of frame rate over resolution.
