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.

PC will always be 10 steps ahead, system customisation is everything...

The previous generation of consoles held PC back via game developers. With the new technology out, games should improve on all platforms. Eventually, consoles will still be surpassed by PC's.

imbarnett If Nvidia would market a Premade $600 PC console that can run games smooth on High settings.. call it the NvidiaBox, make an official website for it, make commercials for it. And sell it in the same isle as a PS4 or Xbox One; I'd be a PC gamer. I would be a PC gamer if I didn't have to take the time to research what parts I need, what graphics card, GPU, blah blah blah. Bottom line is, if they market a decent PC Monitor that is around the same price as Next Gen, there will be more PC players.


You don't even need to do that now. Just post in TTG's PC Building Section.

MKP I surprisingly got used to the mouse pretty quick. Not that much of a change but then again I only played MOBA's.


It really only takes around a week to fully get used to a mouse while gaming. A lot of console players seem intimidated by it though

It really comes down to what an individual prefers. Some people like mouses much better than controllers, lets not forget that it is also possibly to use a controller on a PC
