Conversation on the topic: Consoles are good or bad.

“I have to listen to the “news” for ten years in a row that the PC is dead again (Sid Meier)"
Introduction: Recently, folk (Russian) dissatisfaction with consoles. This is mainly due to the prices of games and unusual management, etc.d. I will try to refute these facts.
Assumption one: Play expensive.
This fact can be easily refuted by simple mathematical calculations. Let’s take the game Far Cry 3 as an example. PC: purchase of the game itself (600 rubles.), purchase of hardware (25K rub.), purchase of software (2000-8000 rubles.(Windows)) and it turns out that to play Far Cry 3 calmly you need to spend 27,500-32,000 rubles. Now let’s calculate how expensive it is to play on a console. Game (2000-2500 rub.), console (8700-12000 rub.) and even after rounding we get 15,000 rubles. It turns out that playing on a console is half the price of playing on a PC. Also, if you buy a console, then with careful use it will last 6 years (until the next generation), or even longer. The PC is again inferior in this regard, since it has to be changed (or upgraded) once every year or two.

Here we need to make a small digression. In fact, I’m not defending the console as a whole, but rather one Playstation 3, since I have a dislike for the Xbox.

Well, everyone who says that “There https://casinor2pbet.co.uk/bonus/ is nothing on the console except soap” has never really played on them, and in exclusives the graphics can reach a very high level, for example in a slasher like God Of war.

assumption third: Management.
Well, there’s basically nothing to say here. Those who say that playing on a gamepad is inconvenient simply haven’t played on it themselves, you just need to try it. Example from life: My friend (12 years old) vehemently hated consoles, insulted everyone with possible waste and foreshadowed their death. But one fine day for the New Year he was given a Playstation 3 and you know what his first impression was? “The gamepad is divine, much more convenient than the keyboard and mouse. And in general, the console is cool » This is how consoles change life positions.

Just nice little things.
I’ll start with, perhaps, the most important advantage of the console (Playstation 3) from a PC: it’s a Blu-ray drive on which you can watch movies in this disc format, and this is very important because an average Blu-ray player costs 15K rubles, which exceeds the price of the console itself. I would also like to say a little about emulation since, for example, on the Playstation netvork games from the first PS and PS2 are sold for PS3 and PS Vita, and their cost does not exceed 500 rubles. And as we all know, there is no stronger force than nostalgia (love doesn’t count). Well, the last thing is games. The number of console exclusives is countless. Unlike PC, where there are 4-5 exclusive series. You could also add motion control (Kinect, Move) to this list, but in fact there is the same device for Windows and it is relatively cheap and supports about 300 games, but it is intended for the game Portal. link: www.razerzone.ru/product/motion_sensing_controllers/razer-hydra

Cons.
Without this there is no way. The main disadvantage of consoles in general is their development in spurts, and this is very important because it is because of these jerks that clashes occur between PC users and console users. To further confirm this, just play the game, made at the end of the 6th generation and the beginning of the 7th generation, the difference is huge. And then you can compare with the current ones, they are not far from 2006. A perfect example is the Fable series you see below.

Fable: The Lost Chapters is a game released in 2004. As you can see, the graphics here are not very good.
