I'm not arguing, never was. I was trying to understand where you're coming from with your "most PCs and their connections are shitty" comment. I actually agree with you on all of your points and had you actually said them instead of trying to be clever this would all have been avoided.
On a related note, get over yourself.
Yeah, we'll see about.It's more probable the other way around, if PS4k causes confusion and dissatisfaction between current PS4 users could favour PC perception as a more viable gaming platform option.
But we still don't know exactly what kind of functionality PS4k will have, so...
I highly doubt that "PS4K" would run games at 4K, I bet it only will run multimedia stuff at 4K.Is the PS4K a threat to PC gaming? Reply to Thread
Probably not but to be honest, if the PS4.5 does run PS4 games with better graphics and frame rate, I won't feel the need to own a new gaming rig since high performance will already be achieved on consoles anyway.
lol
Dude
No
I'm going to assume you have done little-to-no PC gaming, OP.
I wasn't trying to be clever, not sure where you got that from.
I typed "shit" to describe a simple sentiment on my phone without writing a bunch, I got some food and was driving.
I've been playing PC gaming on "shit" computers my whole life, so it's not like I'm berating anyone.
If you're hang-up is my cuss word and you agree with what I was saying I don't know what to tell you.
I'm not some arrogant prick that thinks PCs are the savior of gaming if you think me doing research and throwing in some humor in my posts is giving that vibe.
The exact opposite actually. PC has never looked more attractive.
My argument is that ironically most people who play on PC have "shitty" setups.
And fun fact, not even including the FPS the games run at, Steam's Hardware survey indicated 62%+ run at resolutions lower than 1080p
My argument is that PC gaming is not going to be affected by what is basically going to be a PS4 slim.
My assertion, to simply point out the irony of a situation and is simply tangetal to my argument, is that a large majority do not own PCs that run higher than a PS4.
It is a common misconception, and understanding this point is meant for outsiders to learn that PC gaming isn't about having the best graphics or being able to display 4K gaming.
It simple and plainly isn't as evidenced by very basic research on PC gaming's widest marketplace/platform.
That's why the PC gaming hardware market keeps shrinking year after year...
Oh wait...
In fact PC gaming is so unsuccessful and outdated that console manufacturers absolutely have not, and will not, under any circumstance try to emulate it in any way shape or form...
Oh wait...
My hang up isn't on the cuss word...lol... I was trying to understand the statement. At first I took it as you shitting on PC gamers having bad setups. I was incorrect and I realized that at some point but, you started to go on a tangent a bit.
I so badly want to address the last part of your statement but, I also don't want banned here so I'm leaving this as is.
While I more or less agree wiht your assertion, I really hate the hole "majority this and majority that.
Everything is relative.
You say, for example that "only" 38% of PC gamers (this is actually active Steam users, NOT overlal PC gamers, but it's probably still a fairly accurate measure at least for tthe type of amrket we are discussing - the percent would probably go down if we inclluded a more casual crowd), and yet that 38% equates to almost 61 million active Steam users.
So more active steam users with a 1080p primary monitor exist than PS4's + Xbox ones are out there (or thereabouts).
This isn't an attack on you, you just were the last post I saw this on, and I'm not saying you are trashign PC or anythign of the sort, but it's common to see console gamers pull this nonsense all the time.
"The vast majority of PC gamers have PC's less powerful than a Ps4!!!"
Yeah, but even the minority that DO have a PC as capable as a PS$ or better are larger in number than all PS4's + Xbox ones put together.
Again, don't mean anything more than I said because I don't like people like that too.
I say that lower-end PCs are "shit" in the same breath I say my slightly burned Cuban came out "shit".
Didn't mean to be berating I just meant below-average and it's very easy to write in auto-fill lol.
I thought one of the cons of PC gaming was upgrading every few years for a few hundred dollars.
Is this a stealth thread create for trolling console gamers? I don't believe for a second OP is convinced of this.

It is some what. Gaming graphics/engines advance so fast that if you don't want to be left in the dust and want to keep them 60 frames per second on high/ultra settings, you basically need to do some major upgrades at least once every two years.
I'm so OCD about my frames per second, and having the latest and greatest hardware that it pushed me away from PC gaming altogether cause I was sick of dealing with it.
I don't mind buying a new & better console every 3-4 years, but not annually like an iPhone.

"especially outside the western sphere"? By that do you mean Japan? Because PC gaming is even larger outside the U.S. with the exception of glorious Nihon.
You're acting like F2P games don't count, when the biggest games pull in more cash than most of us can comprehend...
And yet, here you are saying other people are the one's out of touch, lol.
The exact opposite actually. PC has never looked more attractive.
PS4K IS PC gaming
Your OCD is getting the best of you if you have to do major upgrades every 2 years. Or you're not researching your components well enough to make them last longer than that.
Yes major threat. Back in 2005 for a time xbox 360 was the most powerful on market and better graphics than PC.
Fast console upgrades is going to mean PC gamers are going to have to upgrade quicker and pay more to remain the best or else get overtaken.
Just as expensive, less customizable, more skus to keep up with, not as powerful (allegedly) as upper-mid tier cards...No?
