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 is obviously superior to any console.
Just people are intimidated by having to build the PC.

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

Mwah PC is more superior but more costly, but the money pays off in the end.


Well, I got my PC for 250 ($350) and it runs games on high/ultra settings at 50+fps, so if you shop around, you can get a great machine for half the price of a (next gen) console.

No shit. I got my Pc for 250 and it plays games on higher settings than the "next gen console" and probably the generation of consoles after that. and look the price comparison. The only time that I would ever recommend a console over a PC, is if you have virtually no knowledge on computers. And look at upgrading your hardware; on a PC, you simply buy the component that needs upgrading, whereas you have to buy a whole new console if you wish to upgrade. Open your eyes people.

OfficialLeon i don't like pc. the community is boring and the lack of fun i have when playing is ridiculous.


WTF are you talking about? PC games have some of the biggest most organized communities out there. Examples: League of Legends competitive community, ARMA realism units, Mount and Blade line battles, even the modding communities for games such as Skyrim. Now what do consoles have? Quick-scoping teams?

Not true at all, this statement is invalid.
