Poll ???PC - It Now A DIY Console (agree and disagree *war*)??? (29 votes)

Agree 31%
Disagree 69%

And the popularity of a computer for game is now stronger than before. Console it bought for game, so it a “game console”. Many gamer of this era and end of last game era have now started building pc exclusive for the game machine, many time using the separate laptop for work.

Many store online and irl have it nice to list what part to buy for a “diy console”. It more simple as ever today. Putting things together it just like plugging in.

Case? Check.

Mothersboard? Check

Game controller? Check.

Graphic card? Check.

Etc.

It is as simple and effective as a cost but is it fair to now call the pc a console? It all the same as dedication.

Look, all I know is Apex Legends runs like ass on the Xbox One X while it runs super smooth on the PC that I built with my wants/needs in mind. But on PC, the gamers are worlds better at the game so I suffer through the performance on the X to get more kills from time to time.

What I’m saying is, more of you consolites need to build PCs so I can own your noob asses at a steady frame rate

Nope, because I can't still do my 3d modelling on a console.
IF your PCs are solely for gaming, I guess. All consoles are computers anyway.

You're all acting like Karen is speaking Klingon or something ? Had no problem with her post myself.

Although I'd have to disagree. It's more a case of consoles becoming more PC like these days. The only PC consoles I can think of are the Steam boxes, though it's not like anybody acknowledges their existence anymore.

My PC has been hiding out among the consoles in the TV stand.

Day 946 - The X1X is on to me, but I was able to convince him I am one of those new disc-less consoles. The PS4 remains unaware.

I'm curious how long this is going to go on for. Also, fairly decent trolling in a weird way.

All consoles may be computers, but all computers are not PCs.

If you build a pc its a diy pc not a console. Most people still buy them pre-built.

Mother's board?? lol

I built my own PC, it's a DIY PC not a DIY console. Some games I like to play with my controller, like a console game, but my PC is still a PC, not a console.
