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.

Scared_of_Water I don't need extra convincing, I just don't give a ****. Something PC players need to get, I'm well aware PC looks better I just don't care.


well said there's just no atmosphere with pc


Atmosphere? try 3x 3D monitors with surround sound.

It may be superior but, people will probably always buy consoles.

They are awfully expensive atleast the ones i have saw. Maybe it is just me.

simple. price, ease of use, and what it can do for that given price. for example, can a gaming pc that costs 400 bucks do as much as the ps4 when it comes to gaming ? rarely.
thats what i think tho.

I understand PC is far superior to consoles - and has been for quite a long time. What annoys me, is when PC gamers constantly talk garbage about consoles and people who play consoles.

It's like, yeah - we know PC is better. Don't have to rub it in.

Well, that is their opinion, I disagree.

iN1NJA PC is in no way superior to console, it's has gone too far to say that. I am a hybrid gamer PC/ Xbox and I have no bias.. Depending on what game you play on your PC, you're biggest problem is always cheaters. Regardless of what online game you decide to play, there will be cheaters no matter what. I played first person shooters on PC for a while before I grew tired of it and play them on Xbox instead. The most common thing to see in battlefield and cod is aimbot/ wall hack. If you can deal with cheaters in online games, then PC could be the platform for you. There are benefits to PC gaming such as better looking games and a much wider selection of games to choose from, but the cheaters outweigh all benefits in online games (for me at least).


You're talking as if all online games are shooters like Battlefield and CoD. Not every game has cheaters. I play many games on PC and majority of them have no cheaters or hackers at all.

Reversing PC seems like a good way to game since everyone is on consoles. but pc is easier to hack.


Hack? Are you thinking that everyone on PC is running around with an aimbot on every game? From my experiences with PC games people usually don't use mods to give themselves advantages in multiplayer games because if you do you will get banned without even a warning. But a lot of people do modify games to add, textures, new weapons, new features, new skins, new stories, new animations, new interfaces or even a completely different game.
