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.

Insignia115 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.


Not rarely at all.
A $400 gaming PC could play games on a high setting that a PS4 or Xbone could do.
Your argument is invalid.


You say high setting... But would it lag to high heaven? My computer was 350 and it laggggggggggs to high heaven even typing this


His argument is invalid, a topline graphics card that you would need to play games such as BF4 or AC4 would cost half of your 400 bucks

VPN-V2 Well console's are for people that want to socialize, also you can buy it if you don't have the money to drop on a expensive PC.


You can socialize more so on a computer than a console lmao

Main reason I'm veering away from PC is most of them are stuck up gamers. They brag and think they are the best cause they spent thousands on a gaming PC.

The nintendo 64 has more computing power than my computer.... If all computers were like the super expensive ones that people make but not that expensive like 500 dollars... then it would be but not everyone has 5k to blow on a computer

I think everyone knows this but just doesn't want to spend the money for one or time to build one. For me if I'm playing a game just for story I buy it on my PC such as i just recently beat assassin's creed black flag but for multiplayer I buy it for console just because all my friends play it there this is games like call of duty and battlefield and i don't want to play it alone it's only fun with friends.
