wait for next gen consoles or buy a powerful PC now ?

PC games on high settings looks fantasitc and run super smoothly compared to my ps3 games i was wondering if the next gen consoles will look like how games looks like on PC now.. my ps3 just died and my pc is old the best thing my pc could run is world of warcraft on normal settings i dont care for my ps3 much since i already played the games i bough a ps3 for ( GOW3 - MGS4 - GT5 ) so what do u guys advice me here to do ?

pay for a high power PC or just wait for ps4/xbox720 ?

it all depends on how long u can wait, the next gen consoles wont be coming for at least 1-2 years. if u need your gaming fix now, you should buy a PC, and if cost isnt a problem then buying a good PC will probably keep you till at least half way through next generation. Also you might want to consider loosing out on PS3 and Xbox exclusives, you will only pretty much get multi platform games. its all up to you.

If the cost won't be a problem, go with the PC. You'll get a major difference in graphics now, and who knows what next gen consoles will be capable of, or when they'll be released.

I have not go t a gaming PC

but i know if i had the money i would go for that.

you can upgrade it to keep it uptodate and its more powerful

Games are cheaper on it and play much better etc

Whatever fits you the most.

The PC is pretty much already in next gen so I would go with PC.Nick3306

People still play PC games? Videogames are better than pc games.

Lol, a top notch P.C. will always rape any gaming console, no point even comparing the two, I'm happy with PS3 and couldn't care less if a PS4 came out in 2016. H_M_1

I am talking about the quality and quantity of the video games over pc games. We all know that pc games will always look better but the videogames have a far better selection of games. I prefer fighting games like MK and Tekken, action games like uncharted and gow, racing games, etc. and those games tend to not be available for the pc. FPS and role playing games which i have no interest in are better fit for PC with keyboard and mouse but I think other genres are better on a video game system. And I would rather lay comfortably on my couch with a playstation 3 controller and play on a 46" lcd rather than sit at a computer desk with a small screen. When I used to play pc games, it was all about shooting games for me so that is why I prefer video games.

not only that but games are cheaper on the PC, you can upgrade a pc and keep it with the times saving you money buying a console every time they decide its became obsolete, the experience is far better, its customisable and once you get past the big first payment for all the bits its easier to save money. Plus you get things like steam etc

ROFL, what is this "I prefer video games instead of pc games" nonsense, do you have any idea what you are talking about? You can hook as big a tv as you can find up to a pc and you can have 6 displays to be driven from a single GPU for insane screen resolutions, can you do that on a console? ps. you can use any controller on a pc :roll: igsmither

Everybody knows that you can hook up a pc to a TV but I don't want an additional desktop next to a 46" lcd in living room. And can the pc play games like uncharted, god of war, all the fighting games, etc? NO NO NO. Can I use a ps3 controller for PC? I am not one of those warcraft people. As I said before, it is about quality and quantity of the games.... Not just "PC is more powerful so it is better?!" If I was one of those RPGers or heavily into FPS, then it may be different.

this belongs in sw, not in this board.

Next-gen console graphics will definitely look far better than the graphics today.
