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.

At the end of the day, this statement is no doubt true. However, stick to what you like best.

I believe it will take over console gaming because it does a lot more than a console. But consoles are better for competitive gameplay it is easier to control.

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?


Sure you can use a controller on PC, but be prepared to get your @ss handed to you. Mouse/ keyboard is 10x more accurate than any controller.

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).
