Unfun fact: PSN is always down. EVERY. DAMN. DAY.

[raelgun]

The biggest problem that PC gaming faces - in my mind - is that compared to consoles, playing games on a PC is a bit more involved since you may need to tune your set up, make sure that your drivers are updated, configure your controller, install software, update it, update windows, etc...

on the wallet.

OK some glaring holes here, pretty much everything on the PC is automated, driver updates, install software has to be done on the PS4 as well dunno why you think this is only a PC thing, you also have to update on the PS4 as well.
Windows update is pretty much automated, it will do it for you when you shut down.

If you own a 360 controller, FF14 picks it up right away with no config other then rebinding keys just like on a PS4.

Tune your set up is only done after reccomended settings have taken affect and is one of the reason why you want a pc in the first place and its a given fact granted.

The reason people must think this, is because they are told from uninformed people that pc is complicated and must be like this and that, and consoles are like this and that, thats fault of people, not the format, you really can just plug in and play with a pc, everything is pretty much automated and does it all for me if I wanted to.

When you add the extras such as a big TV, the price difference becomes meh, however PC users with a powerful system dont help themselves using a TN panel screen instead of IPS.

Basic 22-24 inch TN monitors are hugely cheap, but if you also have a TV which can be used with said PS4, well then its only the unit then.
