PS4 Versus PC

[Kayo]

That's all a lie.
I've ran more games than I can count on an inferior GPU/CPU than what the PS4 has, at 1050-1080P with no issues at 60+ FPS (This my old system from nearly 5 years ago).
The times it'd struggle, a little do it yourself overclock and you're back in the game.
And they do not have a larger library. PC has backward compatibility ranging back to early 1990's and can emulate almost every single console up to the last generation of consoles. So...

lol, you PC Master Race trolls are hilarious. "Thats a lie because I said so and my 5 year old PC played 5 year old games at 1080p blah blah blah"

Yeah great, now play current games on it at near full settings like PS4 can, using 3 year old hardware. Or a game that looks as good as The Last of Us on a computer with PS3's hardware. Better yet play FFXIV on a computer with PS3's hardware. Oh right ... you cant... PS3 had a stripped down 7800GT (more or less) and the minimum PC requirements are 8800 or above. Should I mention the PS3 only had about 512MB total RAM? Or was it 256MB? Oh but im sure itll be a different story with PS4. Nope, my inferior $400 PS4 wont outlive your $400-$600 graphics card at all.

As for the emulation, lol, you never hacked a console before have you? I can emulate games on my phone, whats your point? "No, PC has more games because it can emulate the consoles that played them 10-30 years ago!" (90's? wtf?) The fact of the matter (and my entire point) is that when it comes to playing MOST of the newest and greatest games coming out, PC players fall way behind either waiting for a port (*cough* GTA5 *cough*) or wishing they had the console to play it.

Why would anyone do that? The PS3 is 8 years old, you can't even find a PC that old even if you tried. The whole point of PC is that you're not stuck for several years with whatever hardware some company thinks is good enough. You can buy better. Trying to purposefully scale down defeats that point.

The only console that had emulators was the original xbox and it had up to N64. Even ignoring emulators, PC has a huge library for the simple fact that its library doesn't reset like it does on consoles with every new generation. So you bought a bunch of PS3 games and now have a PS4? I hope they look good on the wall because that's where they're going to stay from now on. If I buy a new PC 4 years from now all my games I bought will still work.

my dreamcast that has super nintendo games would like a word with you.

More nonsense goes here.

I guess if I am the PC Master Race, then you'll be the console peasant? I am okay with that.

The system I was refering to was 5 years old, playing current games, at near PS4 level of graphical fidelity (Including this game, FFXIV). If I was to compare it to the PS3, it would destroy it in every direction, as most PS3 games ran at 720P and some at even lower, with a constant 20-30 FPS in most games (with a few exceptions).
The system in question ran most games at 45+ FPS and often at 60+ despite the lower end components (Phenom II 555 BE, an 80 USD processor and a medium end GPU that costed me around 115 USD at the time; GTX 460 SE; throw in some overclocking and voila).
Not to mention, if I really felt like it, I could upgrade that old thing and it'll easily surpass every console in the market in a heartbeat; specially with overclocking options.

Yes, the Dreamcast and XBOX could emulate; totally limited to a couple of systems and that was that.
Big woop. Still didn't emulate a lot of games properly nor decently.

You'd have to be totally blind to the absurd amount of advantages that you gain by shelling out a few extra hundred dollars for a PC instead of locking yourself to a console environment.
Consoles only advantage: Dirt cheap on the consumer level. (Note: Consumer level; as the PS3 lost money in hardware sales until late 2012. Look it up before you start talking nonsense again).

Console's offer far more convenience.
