Thinking console gaming is better is not an opinion. PC Gaming IS better then consoles at EVERYTHING.
* PC gaming as a whole is much cheaper than console gaming. Especially in the long run, it can be less than half of what a console will cost you. Hidden fees, price hikes, and royalties are abundant for gamers AND developers in the console industry. ^{[1] [2]} * PC hardware offers better bang-for-buck & value than console hardware (same performance for less money, more performance for the same money, or much more performance for a bit more money). ^[1] * PCs have the freedom to upgrade whenever YOU decide to, not when Sony or Microsoft decide to. If you just got a big paycheck and wanted to sell your R7 260 to a friend for $50 and buy an R9 380 for $150 tomorrow, you could do it. * PCs give you full internal and external control over the graphical fidelity triangle. Consoles can control neither. * PCs easily work with TVs and monitors, and even multiple of each. * PCs can play nearly every old PC and console game ever made, thanks to its tremendous legacy support, emulator availability, and GOG. * PCs can use nearly every console controller ever made, modern ones (PS3/PS4/X360/XO) work without even needing a USB adapter. ^[1] * PC games offer a clearer image thanks to native resolution and its ability to adjust to any display its plugged into. Console games don't allow resolution adjustments, and will lock to whatever the developer arbitrarily chose. This means that lower resolution displays offer no performance benefit like they do on PCs, because the resolution is never lowered to spare some workload on the GPU (which, on a PC, would mean it could render frames faster). [1] * Gaming services and "social services" on the PC are completely free, even with online play (Steam, Galaxy, Desura, Mumble, etc) * Gaming services on the PC offer more functionality than what you pay for on a console * PCs have better better multiplayer support (LAN, 16x local multiplayer on the same machine with softXpand) * Using a modern budget GPU yields around 60 frames per second during gameplay with recent game releases. Consoles can barely reach 30FPS most of the time. * Not only can PC's be used for education, entertainment, gaming, and content creation... they're the best at all of these things. * PCs are much more powerful than the PS4 or XBox One at the same (traditionally believe to be affordable!) price point * More exclusives than all the current-gen consoles combined * More highly-rated exclusives * PC games have free modifications and enhancements available. Old games and new games alike have player-made content, graphical enhancements, and additions available for free. Even Minecraft. ^[1] * More games, much larger library * More exclusive games * Healthy independent developer scene * Lots of free games * Free abandonware titles * PCs can emulate almost any handheld and stationary console games using freely available emulators. Sometimes even at higher framerates, detail levels, and with better input than the original console permitted! ^{[1] [1] [2]} * Increasingly cheaper hardware for the price as new GPUs are released * Big Picture mode for couch gaming * Easier to repair and highly modular * Backward and forward hardware compatibility of ~2 years * No punishments for repairing * Can be upgraded if desired * Easier to upgrade * Better price-performance than consoles * Higher framerates (smoother) * Higher resolutions than consoles (such as 1080p, 1440p, 1600p, 4k, and 8k!) if your display supports it and you have GPU power you're willing to spare. Consoles struggle, even at 720-900p! * Higher graphical details (lighting, textures, foliage, particles, shading, weather) * You're probably going to own some sort of PC anyways, why not pay a bit more on top to make it a gaming machine? That alone makes it cheaper than a console.
Now give me 5 reasons why someone would want/need a console. I'd love to hear. I like /r/pcmasterrace for the community. We have giveaways of 60$ games, we have tech support, we have fun. That's all that matters. Fun.
