    Many don’t care much about modding. I’m primarily gaming on PC, and it’s rare I use mods.

    Consoles are also better on the big screen, which is what many people use when gaming.

      My computer is hooked up to my 65 inch Samsung TV and it plays perfectly. Yeah. It’s only 120hz, but I’m not so much of a graphics snob that I need 200+ FPS. Plus, at 4k I barely break 100 FPS most of the time anyway. Pretty sure it would outperform any console throw at it regardless.

        But at what cost, though? Probably just the graphics card is worth like 2 consoles, not to mention the power draw.

          Price of entry is much higher, but I feel like the amount I’ve saved on games via steam sales/humble bundles/etc along with no monthly fees for online play more than make up for it in the long run.
