Nvidia: “the PC platform is far superior to any console”

4.6
Nvidia’s consumer sales manager Matt Wright has stressed that PC is the gaming platform of choice, and that its functionality makes it “far superior” to consoles. He recognises that some staunch console players may need some extra convincing however.

It follows the UK and European PS4 launch.

Speaking with MCV, Wright said, “We are proposing small form-factor PCs to be a viable alternative to the next-gen consoles. Enthusiast players want the ultimate games system and that is the PC. The PC platform is far superior to any console when it comes to gaming, plus you get all the extra functionality that a computer brings.”

He added that from the outside looking in, PC gaming may appear more complex and technical to the layman, but stressed, “We want to make PC gaming as simple as possible and we think that it already becoming much more relevant and appealing to casual gamers,”

Steam also helps. “Steam now has more users than Xbox Live,” Wright concluded. “There is a whole new generation who grew up playing on PC with titles like Minecraft or World of Tanks. There’s a huge community who love playing their games on PC.”

What’s your take? Are PS4 and Xbox One already obsolete? Is PC the way forward? Let us know what you think below.

TheChromeFox Well, PC is far superior to console because it can do so much more, but I will prefer console because of controllers. I can't game with a mouse/keyboard.


Oh god your stupidity. You know you can use an Xbox or PS3 controller on PC, right?


Don't be an ignorant asshole. He never said that it's impossible to use a controller on PC.

Keyboard+mouse is far more accurate then a controller no questions asked all consoles have over PC is ease of use and exclusives

50/50. However, you're able to use both PS and Xbox controller's on PC. So it removes that argument completely.
And, you can definitely do much more with a keyboard.

I play both Xbox and PC, keyboard definitely wins. PC games also win.

I disagree. I like Xbox better even though PC has better graphics. :p

If you get used to the keyboard, you'll actually like it more than you would any controller. It's more of a challenge too. Not everyone will be good at it, anyone can play console and be good at it.

Just from a quick browsing of the comments: People argue that a Controller is better than a keyboard. I'm going to estimate that 90% of those people are regular Xbox/Ps users, and have never thought of getting used to a keyboard. Keyboards offer MUCH superior bindings, and a mouse far surpasses Joysticks if you get the hang of it. Also people saying that you spend so much more on a PC. Also false. If you spend $700 on a PC now, then you'll be spending hundreds, even thousands, less than console gamers on games. I can get games for $20 that you spend $60 on, and so forth. You get a Computer that you can also use for much more than a Console. Another valid argument: "What do you learn from playing on the Xbox? How to play Call of Duty correctly? How to yell at small children? Well what do you learn from using a PC? Useful career skills, a knowledge of the future technology? If you answer these questions you will know the obvious choice."

Ask anyone who has recently switched over to PC, it's a far more enjoyable experience. Also, with Cyber Monday close and Christmas, it's the best time of the year to build your dream machine. Now this is just my opinion, you're just as much entitled to one as I am, and I just hope you all enjoy playing Video Games on whatever platform you own!
